Boom Box (minigame)

Boom Box is a minigame in Super Mario 64 DS. It is one of Yoshi's minigames, though Yoshi is only seen in the background pushing a treasure chest. The minigame's name is a pun on "."

Gameplay
The minigame involves the player tapping a treasure chest on the Touch Screen to open it. When opened, the chest makes a sound, astonishing the Mario head on the top screen. For every chest that makes a certain sound, there is another chest that makes the same sound. The player must match all the sounds with each other. If the player makes a mistake, the Mario head frowns, while if the player succeeds, the Mario head beams at them. When the player clears a level, Mario's face is astonished, then bursts out laughing. As the player progresses, more chests appear. On most levels, there are six treasure chests; however, some levels have eight treasure chests. On some levels, the sounds sound exactly the same and require the player to pay attention to which speaker the sound comes out of. If the player loses three times on a level, the minigame ends while Mario's face screams and looks dazed.

In-game instructions
''Each time you open a treasure chest, you'll hear a sound. Open 2 chests with the same sound. Win by matching all the pairs!''

Trivia

 * Mario's laughter is based on his shouting when he catches on fire, and his sound when the player gets a Game Over is similar to his shouting when he is falling from a high place or into a pit.
