The mechanic was created because [[Koji Kondo]] "thought it would be fun for the visuals to change in response to the sound", and it was "the most [he] could do" to accomplish this due to having joined in the final phase of development.<ref>Nintendo.

The jingle that plays immediately after entering a [[painting]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' uses the "Paah" sample to play the first six notes of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)#Super Mario 64|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike later uses of the sample, it has no gameplay effect. This jingle marks the first time that the sample, or any other sample from a Best Service library, was used by Nintendo. | The jingle that plays immediately after entering a [[painting]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' uses the "Paah" sample to play the first six notes of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)#Super Mario 64|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike later uses of the sample, it has no gameplay effect.

While ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' uses new overworld, underground, and athletic themes, the "Paah" sound reappears in these new versions, serving the same purpose.

It also appears in the new desert, beach, forest, snow, and lava overworld music, as well as the lava underground music. Enemies in this game are timed to react to the "Paah" sound embedded in the music. | ||
There are two points in the [[tower]] theme that act as "Paah"s; each is at the start of a slow trill that plays on bass marimba and strings near the beginning of the loop. In the [[castle]] theme, the sound of orchestral cymbals is used in place of "Paah"s. | There are two points in the [[tower]] theme that act as "Paah"s; each is at the start of a slow trill that plays on bass marimba and strings near the beginning of the loop.

The vocals with the "Paah" effect are distinct from the new "Lah" samples accompanying the ground and athletic themes, which were taken from the "ChorusLahFem" instrument from the Roland Sound Canvas SC-8820. These play alongside the melody in the ground theme and instead of the melody in the athletic theme. As the melody in these themes is otherwise the same as in their ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' counterparts, enemies and objects only react to the "Paah"s that were present originally. | The vocals with the "Paah" effect are distinct from the new "Lah" samples accompanying the ground and athletic themes, which were taken from the "ChorusLahFem" instrument from the Roland Sound Canvas SC-8820.

U'' game style reuses the underground, underwater, desert, and forest music from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and the overworld, athletic, and snow overworld music from ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. However, enemies in these games do not react to the music, so the "Paah" sounds serve no functional purpose. | ||
