Battle[]
When Luigi at first enters the Conservatory, he must turn on all of the instruments which makes the Super Mario Bros. theme song all together by mainly being heard by the piano in the Conservatory to summon Melody to come out and to see her play the piano. Luigi can turn on an instrument by tapping on it with his hand, which is done by pressing the button that is done to interact with the object. Melody then asks him a question on which song she is playing, being either the underwater theme of Super Mario Bros., or the athletic music from Super Mario Bros. 3. If Luigi guesses wrong, he must re-enter the room and repeat the steps. When Luigi guesses right, Melody says he is correct and then starts haunting Luigi with music notes from her piano which follow him via levitation and Luigi must suck it up with his Poltergust 3000 to upset Melody (although she will no longer attack except by dropping Poison Mushrooms when attacked) and suck up her 100 HP to turn on the lights in the room and gain the key to the Dining Room.
Trivia[]
- Before Area Two is completed, when Luigi is close to the Conservatory, he can hear Melody play the piano. Even after Melody is captured, it can still be heard before Area Two is completed.
- Her last name "Pianissima" is a pun of "pianissimo" meaning "very soft" in music.
