Note

Rainbow Notes (sometimes called only Music Notes) are items that appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They will usually appear when Mario grabs a Question Coin, afterwards, they will line up, and Mario will need to grab all of them. Each note makes a different sound and together forms a short jingle or tune, typically from another game in the Mario series. If the Player gets every note, Mario will get a prize, such as a 1-Up Mushroom. The notes are also used in a few levels where they need to be collected to get the star, such as the Hurry-Scurry Galaxy and Sea Slide Galaxy.
