- “Would you care to do battle with my lovely music sheets?”
- —Melody Pianissima, Luigi's Mansion
Melody Pianissima, the Beautiful Pianist is the sixth ghost Luigi meets and is one of the many portrait ghosts who was freed by King Boo in Luigi's Mansion.
Melody is said to have been an expert pianist and also to have been very vain. She died at the age of 26, and now spends her afterlife endlessly playing her piano. Shivers the butler is very deeply smitten with her, but she apparently spurns his affections for unknown reasons, much to his dismay. Melody also has a odd passion for video games.
When Luigi enters the Conservatory in the second area of the mansion, he must make all the instruments there play music by tapping them; this will lure Melody out. She will play a classic song from a Mario game for Luigi and then ask a question about it. If Luigi answers wrong she will disappear and Luigi must try again. If he answers right she will attack him by causing music sheets to fly at him. Sucking up the sheets causes Melody to stop playing the piano and clutch her head in frustration, making her vulnerable. After some medium pulls from Melody Luigi gains the key to the Dining Room where the next portrait ghost waits.
Personality
Melody has a temper, which is easily set off. If Luigi gets the question wrong about a song she played she bangs on the piano and yells at him since she had played a "beautiful piece" and Luigi "insulted" it.
Physical Appearance
Melody wears a long red dress with long sleeves. White frilly trim is on her sleeves and the bottom of her dress. She has a dark red belt with a white buckle at her waist and has a dark red bow near her neck.
She has a heart shaped head and has long dark blonde hair with two long bangs. Her hair curves at the bottom of her hairstyle. She has bluish-greenish skin and large completely yellow eyes. She also has a small nose.
Trivia
- Melody's first name refers to a melody, the main line of music in a composition.
- Her last name comes from pianissimo, a musical notation meaning to play very softly. The feminine -a ending has replaced the last letter.

- The music that Melody plays on the piano is either a level from Super Mario Bros 3 or the Underwater Theme from Super Mario Bros.
- Before Melody is captured, one can hear her piano playing a remix of Luigi's Mansions theme song that is used for outside rooms. Strangly after Melody is captured the song can still be heard.
- Melody has a look similar to that of Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy, and could possibly be the ghost of her mother, who is, according to the storybook, dead.
