| | '''Rainbow Notes''' (sometimes called '''Music Notes''') are multicolored [[item]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They will usually appear when [[Mario]] grabs a [[Question Coin]], although the ones in [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]] appear if Mario rings a bell with the [[Star Cursor]]. Afterwards, they will line up, and Mario will need to grab all of them. Each note makes a different sound and together forms a short jingle or tune, typically from another game in the Mario series. If the Player gets every note, Mario will get a prize, such as a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The notes are also used in a few levels where they need to be collected to get the star, such as the [[Hurry-Scurry Galaxy]], the Gold Leaf Galaxy, and the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]. |

| '''Notes''' (also called '''music notes''',<ref>{{cite|quote=Collect music notes to recover the instruments, and then return them to their rightful owners.|author=Bonus: Travel Hints|title=''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' by [[Nintendo EPD]]|format=Ver. 1.3.0|date=25 Apr, 2019|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]}}</ref> '''musical notes''',<ref>{{cite|author=Esmarch, Nick von|title=''Super Mario 3D Land: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|date=2011|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=34, 52}}</ref> or '''song notes'''<ref>{{cite|author=Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Joe|title=''Super Mario Odyssey: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|date=2017|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=186, 193, 210, 245, 273}}</ref>) are colorful items in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Making contact with an environmental trigger causes a string of notes to appear in the immediate area for a limited period of time. Collecting every one rewards the player character with an item. The player character collects a note just by touching it, which is accompanied by the sound of a single {{wp|musical note}}. Each note in the string plays a musical note at a different frequency from the others. In most games, collecting each note in succession sometimes creates a melody. | |

| Notes are generally shaped like {{wp|eighth note}}s, though '''large notes'''<ref name=art>{{cite|quote=Touching one of these large notes causes a string of small notes to appear for a limited time.|author=Sakai, Kazuya, kikai, Rachel Roberts, and Jenny Blenk, editors|title="Sand Kingdom".

They appear in Throwback Galaxy, Boo Moon Galaxy and in Puzzle Plank Galaxy and have the same function as in the first game. |

| |
|
| ==History==
| | They appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as well with the same purpose, activated by a [[P-Switch]]. |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===

| In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', notes usually appear when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) touches a [[? Coin]], although the ones in the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]] appear if the player rings a bell with the [[Star Pointer]]. Afterwards, they line up, and Mario needs to grab all of them. The background music also mutes when the notes are activated. Each note makes a different sound and together forms a short jingle or tune, typically from another game in the ''Super Mario'' series. If the player gets every note, Mario will get an item, such as a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. However, if the player fails to collect all the notes within the time limit, the remaining notes will disappear. The notes are also used in a few [[galaxy|galaxies]] where they need to be collected to get a [[Power Star]], such as the [[Hurry-Scurry Galaxy]], the Gold Leaf Galaxy, and the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]].

|
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
| | In [[Mario Kart 7]], Music Notes take life and bounce from left to right causing a beat to occur on the ground. The notes, which only appear in [[Melody Motorway]] are large black single notes. |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', notes appear in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], the [[Boo Moon Galaxy]], and the [[Throwback Galaxy]]. They retain their function from the first game, but their environmental triggers are more varied. In the Puzzle Plank Galaxy, [[Ground-Pound Switch]]es cause notes to appear. In the Throwback Galaxy, they are released from a smashed [[crate]]. A ? Coin appears as a trigger only in the Boo Moon Galaxy. | |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
| |
| Notes appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as well with a similar purpose, activated by a [[P Switch]] or when a [[flower (environmental object)|bush]] is rustled. If all of the notes are collected, Mario can earn a power-up if he is in either [[Small Mario|Small form]] or [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]]. Otherwise, he earns a 1-Up Mushroom.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
| |
| In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', large notes (recognized as "treble clefs" in the [[Prima Games]] guidebook)<ref>{{cite|author=Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Joe|title=''Super Mario Odyssey: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|date=2017|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=38, 50, 84, 108, 116, 128, 143}}</ref> appear in every kingdom except for the [[Dark Side]] and [[Darker Side]] of the [[moon]]. Touching one causes a string of '''small notes'''<ref name=art/> to appear. Collecting all of them awards Mario a [[Power Moon]]. Notes appear in 2D areas, the first instance where they have been included in an area on a 2D plane. Like platforms, enemies, other items, and Mario himself, notes appear as 8-bit sprites in these areas. Notes are a prominent component of the [[Super Mario Odyssey#Nintendo Labo VR|Playing in VR]] mode added in version 1.3.0 on April 25, 2019, in which collecting all of the notes in an area reveals an instrument that must be returned to a corresponding musician.
| |
| | |
| The name of each Power Moon that appears after the player collects notes is prefixed with the pun "Taking Notes."
| |
| | |
| ===''Minecraft''===
| |
| Notes replace [[minecraftwiki:Music Disc|Music Disc]]s in the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Party''===
| |
| Notes appear in the River Survival mode of ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. Collecting every note in a single route causes a [[Minigame Balloon]] to appear. This is the notes' first appearance in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] outside a mainline title.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', notes appear when the [[P Switch]] in [[Rumbla Island]] is activated. Collecting all of them reveals a present containing Dirt-Cheap Wear.
