History[edit]
Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
In Super Mario Bros. 3, a Music Box is a common item that causes all Hammer Brother, Fire Brother, Boomerang Brother, and Sledge Brother Enemy Courses, 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. 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[edit]
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 Brothers. While it does make them drowsy, they avoid falling asleep completely.
Wario Land 3[edit]
In Wario Land 3, their name is formatted as music boxes,[2][3] and they have a large role. The events of the game even take place inside of 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 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.
WarioWare: Twisted![edit]
In WarioWare: Twisted!, the music box from Wario Land 3 makes a cameo in Wario's House.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
In the teaser poster for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, voxelated Music Boxes resembling their original sprite can be seen being sold at the antiques store for six coins each.
