Retro Soundbox

The Retro Soundbox is an accessory in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It takes on the appearance of a Family Computer controller, and is not available until Mario gets to Shangri-Spa, where it is sold by a resident Snifit. When equipped, this accessory provides no gameplay alterations, but it does change some of Mario's sound effects to their counterparts from old-school Super Mario games, most notably Super Mario Bros.

The sound effects that are changed include:


 * Walking (replaced with the walking sound effect from Donkey Kong)
 * Jumping
 * Collecting coins (the pitch is altered depending on the value of each coin)
 * Hitting a surface or enemy with the hammer (replaced with the noise heard when a Koopa shell hits a wall in Super Mario Bros. 3)
 * Stomping on an enemy
 * Entering a pipe
 * Hitting a block
 * Taking damage without blocking
 * Using a Fire Flower or an Ice Flower (replaces the Super Mario World sound effects with Super Mario Bros. sound effects for both the transformation and throwing fire/ice balls)
 * Breaking miscellaneous objects (replaced with the noise heard when breaking a brick block in Super Mario Bros.)

In addition, collecting a Super Star with the Retro Soundbox equipped plays the Starman theme from Super Mario Bros.
