- “The Doom Dancer Music Box is said to possess great magical power! Crank it fast, and it makes everybody dance, faster and faster! Crank it slow, and it makes them slow... down... and... stop.”
- —Princess Toadstool, "Do the Koopa"
TheDoom Dancer Music Box (sometimes referred to simply as theDoom Dancer) is a device from the episode "Do the Koopa" onThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. It lies inside theTemple of Gloom inDark Land. The Doom Dancer may have been inspired by theMusic Box items fromSuper Mario Bros. 3.
The Doom Dancer gets its name from its ability to force anyone to dance at any speed whenever its owner cranks it. It is also capable of playing a marching theme that forces anyone to march.
After finding a map to the Doom Dancer in theMushroom Land Central Library,Mario,Luigi,Princess Toadstool, andToad search for it in order to stopKing Koopa and hisKoopalings.
Upon the heroes arriving in Dark Land, word gets out to aDry Bones, who informs Koopa about their plans.Cheatsy,Big Mouth, andBully are then sent out to retrieve the Doom Dancer. Bully's initial plan is to mutinously take control of Koopa with the device and become king over Dark Land, but Koopa's cold stops him from doing so (and also forces him to comply with the original plan, giving the Doom Dancer to Koopa).
When Koopa acquires the Doom Dancer, he forces the entireMushroom Kingdom to dance to his song "Do the Koopa," a song that shares its name with the episode title. Mario, plugging his ears withPlumber's Putty, manages to dance his way over to Koopa and fight for the Doom Dancer; however, it breaks into pieces when it falls off theDoomship onto aGoomba.
