Melody Pianissima

“Would you care to have a battle with my lovely music sheets?”

—Melody Pianissima, Luigi's Mansion

Melody Pianissima, the Beautiful Pianist 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 spurns his affections for no apparent reason, much to his dismay. She 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.
