"A Night at Boo's Opera"[1][2] is a song in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, where it plays during the Wonder Effect in Light-Switch Mansion. This song is performed in-universe by King Boo, who is accompanied by the course's Boos and Noknoks. The instrumental consists of a piano, pizzicato, organ, theremin, xylophone, tubular bells, crash cymbals, and a woodblock. If the player faces King Boo, he will distort his singing.
