'''Notes''' (sometimes called '''musical notes''')<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, pages 34 and 52.</ref> are multicolored eighth-note [[item]]s that appear in a few 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. They appear as a result of a certain trigger, and they will reward the player in some way when all of them in a group are collected.

Notes first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They will usually appear when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) grabs a [[? Coin]], although the ones in the [[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. 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 [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. 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 [[level]]s 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]].

Notes also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear in the [[Throwback Galaxy]], the [[Boo Moon Galaxy]], and the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]] and have the same function as in the first game.

Notes appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as well with a similar purpose, activated by a [[P Switch]]. If all of the notes are collected, Mario can earn a power-up if he is in either [[Small Mario|Small]] or [[Super Mario (form)|Super]] form; otherwise, he earns a 1-Up Mushroom.

Notes reappear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they are much more common and are activated by touching a [[treble clef]], though each set plays only the {{wp|chromatic scale}} rather than a melody. Collecting all of the notes in a set reveals a [[Power Moon]].

Notes also appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' in some routes of the River Survival mode. Collecting every note in a single route causes a [[Minigame Balloon]] to appear.

===Other appearances===

Notes replace Music Discs in the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]''.
