Here's a story you probably never saw coming! Mario Kart Wii is seeing a bit of a resurgence in popularity right now. Well, it's soundtrack is, and it's all thanks to TikTok.

Over on the social media app, users have been using the Coconut Mall theme from Mario Kart Wii as background music for their videos. The song is being added to videos left and right, which has caused it to appear in quite a few different viral TikToks. In turn, the song's popularity is growing overall.

Believe it or not, the Coconut Mall theme is getting so much attention that it recently debuted at #15 on the US Spotify Viral 50 chart. Even funnier, this is not an official Nintendo upload of the song, as Nintendo doesn't have the Mario Kart Wii soundtrack on Spotify. There's no doubt Nintendo is benefitting from the song's surge in popularity, but they're missing out on the full benefit by not having an official upload on Spotify!
