- “The Doom Dancer Music Box is said to possess great magical power! Crank it fast, and it makes everybody dance, faster and faster! Crank it slow, and it makes them slow... down... and... stop.”
- —Princess Toadstool, "Do the Koopa"
The Doom Dancer Music Box (sometimes referred to simply as the Doom Dancer) is a device from the episode "Do the Koopa" on The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. It lies inside the Temple of Gloom in Dark Land. The Doom Dancer may have been inspired by the Music Box items from Super Mario Bros. 3.
The Doom Dancer gets its name from its ability to force anyone to dance at any speed whenever its owner cranks it. It is also capable of playing a marching theme that forces anyone to march.
After finding a map to the Doom Dancer in the Mushroom Land Central Library, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad search for it in order to stop King Koopa and his Koopalings.
Upon the heroes arriving in Dark Land, word gets out to a Dry Bones, who informs Koopa about their plans. Cheatsy, Big Mouth, and Bully are then sent out to retrieve the Doom Dancer. Bully's initial plan is to mutinously take control of Koopa with the device and become king over Dark Land, but Koopa's cold stops him from doing so (and also forces him to comply with the original plan, giving the Doom Dancer to Koopa).
When Koopa acquires the Doom Dancer, he forces the entire Mushroom Kingdom to dance to his song "Do the Koopa," a song that shares its name with the episode title. Mario, plugging his ears with Plumber's Putty, manages to dance his way over to Koopa and fight for the Doom Dancer; however, it breaks into pieces when it falls off the Doomship onto a Goomba.
