Notes (sometimes called musical notes)[1] are multicolored eighth-note items that appear in a few 3D Super Mario games. They appear as a result of a certain trigger, and they reward the player in some way when all of them in a group are collected.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Galaxy

Notes first appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They usually appear when Mario (or Luigi) grabs a ? Coin, although the ones in the Gold Leaf Galaxy appear if the player rings a bell with the Star Pointer. Afterwards, they line up, and Mario needs to grab all of them. The background music also mutes when the notes are activated. Each note makes a different sound and together forms a short jingle or tune, typically from another game in the Super Mario franchise. If the player gets every note, Mario will get a prize, such as a 1-Up Mushroom. However, if the player fails to collect all the notes within the time limit, the remaining notes will disappear. The notes are also used in a few levels where they need to be collected to get a Power Star, such as the Hurry-Scurry Galaxy, the Gold Leaf Galaxy, and the Sea Slide Galaxy.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Notes also appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in the Throwback Galaxy, the Boo Moon Galaxy, and the Puzzle Plank Galaxy and have the same function as in the first game.

Super Mario 3D Land

Notes appear in Super Mario 3D Land as well with a similar purpose, activated by a P Switch. If all of the notes are collected, Mario can earn a power-up if he is in either Small form or Super form; otherwise, he earns a 1-Up Mushroom.

Super Mario Odyssey

Notes reappear in Super Mario Odyssey, where they are much more common and are activated by touching a treble clef, though each set plays only the chromatic scale rather than a melody. Collecting all of the notes in a set reveals a Power Moon.

Super Mario Party

Notes also appear in Super Mario Party in some routes of the River Survival mode. Collecting every note in a single route causes a Minigame Balloon to appear.

Other appearances

Notes replace Music Discs in the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft.
