The '''Music Box'''<ref>Nintendo Power Vol. 11, page 8</ref> is a common item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It makes all [[Hammer Bro]]ther, [[Fire Bro]]ther, [[Boomerang Bro]]ther, and [[Sledge Bro]]ther [[Enemy Course]]s, as well as the [[World 7-Piranha Plant 1|Piranha]] [[World 7-Piranha Plant 2|Plant stages]] in [[Pipe Land]], fall asleep so that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can sneak past them. After one clears a level or loses two lives, they wake up again. The song that is played is a soothing version of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Ground Theme. The pitch level of the music was adjusted for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] remake in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.

A '''Music Box'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11|page=8|date=March-April 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is an item that first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Here, it is a white square depicting two {{wp|beam (music)|beamed}} notes, and it has a sand-colored pad on the top and a crank to the side. Music Boxes somewhat resemble [[Note Block|Jump Block]]s.

===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Music Boxes also have a large role in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. In fact, this game is set within [[Music Box World|an enigmatic Music Box with an entire world inside of it]] and focuses on the collection of five different Music Boxes, which, if all played, can free [[Rudy|a hidden figure]] who, claiming to be the Music Box World's unjustly accursed leader, helps Wario through his quest. Wario, in the end, collects the five Music Boxes scattered around the larger one and frees the figure, only to discover that he is evil; Wario then defeats him and saves the Music Box, which he is permitted to leave. Wario later claims the Music Box World as his own, as evidenced by its cameo in his house in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', a Music Box is a common item that causes all  [[Hammer Bro]]ther, [[Fire Bro]]ther, [[Boomerang Bro]]ther, and [[Sledge Bro]]ther [[Enemy Course]]s, as well as the [[Piranha Plant]] stages in [[Pipe Land]], to fall asleep so that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can sneak past them. After one clears a level and/or loses a life twice, they wake up again. The song that is played is a soothing version of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]]. The pitch level of the music was adjusted for both ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

In the book ''[[Koopa Capers]]'' from the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' series, Luigi tries to whistle the tune from the Music Box to escape the [[Sledge Bro]]thers. While it does make them drowsy, they avoid falling asleep completely.
