A '''Music Box'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11, page 8.</ref> is an item that first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Here, it is a white square depicting two 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.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
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]]''.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
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.

===''Wario Land 3''===
In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', their name is formatted as '''music boxes'''.<ref>"''Inside the cave, he found a beautiful music box, but no matter how much Wario wound it up, no song could be heard.''" - ''Wario Land 3'' instruction booklet, page 2.</ref><ref>"''Wario soon awoke to very different surroundings, and it wasn't long before he realized he was inside the music box.''" - ''Wario Land 3'' instruction booklet, page 3.</ref> Music boxes have a large role in the game, which is even set within [[music box (world)|an enigmatic music box with an entire world inside of it]]. [[Wario]]'s journey is focused on the collection of five different music boxes, which, if all played, can free a [[Rudy|hidden figure]] 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.
