Although I love the NSMB franchise, NSMBU's music seems more lazy, that with the same melody for all worlds (however, there are different instruments, but it doesn't change anything really), and kind of felt like that the music was more of a "deluxe" of NSMBW, with the same themes. I'm personally grateful for Wonder, as it makes the platforming Mario games feel more fun and not like a "deluxe" of the previous.
What's even more lazy is NSMB2's soundtrack. Literally reuses songs from past games and adds more bahs. Plus all of the world map themes are just ripped straight from NSMB Wii. I don't even know if there is a single original song in that soundtrack. (also I agree with your wonder statement)

here‘s a download of the Soundtrack with some extra things such as the layers by themselves and fast versions, along with the other New Super Mario Bros. games

good news! I found a rip of the game and properly organized the soundtrack and, as it turns out, there’s more than what Mr. HeliX uploaded. I still have a few more things I have to fix up, but then I’ll submit it
(just for reference, there’s 25 tracks here, and there’s 50~ tracks that are in the game)
how hard is it to find a version of the credits without those bubble sounds?
very hard apparently
I am legit convinced at this point that the sounds, for whatever reason, are baked into the song.
Pretty nice selection of music. Love the names of the worlds, since I'm a fan of sweets (who isn't?) Sadly, I have a few things to say about this album:
1. More than half of the songs are a very close replica to many of the world songs of New Super Mario Bros Wii.
2. Songs 21 & 22 are choppy.
I hope the game is better than the music :|
Go to Mr. HeliX and find his music there. He has New Super Mario Bros. U music ripped from the game, and even has the credits music without bubble sfx.
Nice clean selection of all main New Super Mario Bros. U songs. Be aware that any songs included in the Wii version are omitted, so be sure to get those too. 10/10
