- —Musical Note E, Mario Party DS
The Musical Notes are five sentient eighth notes that appear above Star Spaces in Toadette's Music Room in Mario Party DS. When a player reaches a Star Space, the present Musical Note offers a Star in exchange for coins. Each note requires a different number, ordered from least to most expensive; the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red notes accept 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 coins, respectively.
When the Star Space is relocated, the next Musical Note in the cycle appears above it. Moving the Star Space with a Mysterious Metronome allows Musical Notes to be skipped without anyone purchasing a Star.
The Musical Notes' individual identities are contradictory between the NTSC and PAL versions of the game. The NTSC names are a reference to the lines of the treble clef staff, from bottom to top (E-G-B-D-F). The PAL version has them named after the first five notes in the C major scale (C-D-E-F-G). This results in dialogue for Musical Notes B and C being exclusive to the NTSC and PAL versions, respectively. Similarly, the Japanese and Korean versions designate names based on Western solfège (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol).
In the Collection, the Musical Notes are listed under #28 of "Board Features" as the secret item from Toadette's Music Room. They can be unlocked through placing first on said board after earning the Toadette Friend Badge.
