Help me compile a list of Nintendo games that contain sound tests
Just like it says in the topic title. I'm trying to create a comprehensive list of every first-party Nintendo game that has some sort of sound test, jukebox, music collection, etc. feature. There are several Nintendo IPs I'm not as familiar with, such as Pokemon, Kirby, Star Fox, Fire Emblem, some of the Mario spin-offs, etc.--so hopefully those who are familiar with IPs that I'm not can help me out in this thread! As titles are supplied, I'll update this post.
It doesn't matter how rudimentary the feature is, if it has some sort of music collection feature in-game, I want to list it. The list so far:
Are there any Mario-related games I'm missing? I think there are sound tests in other Mario Party games, but I haven't played them so I have no idea. I'm also unfamiliar with the Mario & Luigi series, so can anyone tell me if those games have sound tests? What about the Wario games and older Yoshi games?

I know Kirby: Triple Deluxe has a sound test, and even included info on who wrote each song. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team has one too, but not sure if the older games do as well (the song titles for the 2SF rips are detailed, so I'm going to assume they come from sound tests)

Excellent, thanks dissident--just the sort of stuff I was looking for.
I know Superstar Saga doesn't, but I wonder if Partners in Time or Bowser's Inside Story do? |

I know the gba and nds fire emblem games all have unlockable sound tests:
Fire Emblem Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu~ As for partners in time, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have one. I've beaten the game and didn't unlock one at least. |

Wave Race 64 does, if I'm not mistaken. Sound tests aren't really common in Nintendo games, unfortunately. In fact, all of those games you've listed are developed by HAL, Rare, Intelligent, Hudson, Retro etc... no Nintendo games ;p

Yeah, I wonder if any first party Nintendo games have one? If this was a Sega list, I'd be of much more help.

As far as I remember, Kirby's Dream Land 3 has a hidden sound test.

Most Kirby games actually:
http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Sound_Test Btw I think you should add a note when the sound test includes names (ex. Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack) and is it's known to be incomplete. |

Thanks to Dag's link to the Kirby Wiki page, as well as a page I found for sound tests on TVTropes, I've been able to update this list fairly extensively.

But yeah, it is a shame that when you look at Nintendo's flagship franchises--Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and apparently Pokemon--sound tests are almost unheard-of in such games. Right now, my only goal is to compile a list of games with some sort of sound test, no matter how incomplete, untitled, or badly implemented they may be. (I'm also restricting this list to games that have had a Western release, hence why I've left out some Japan-only Fire Emblem titles.) In the future, I may separate these out into separate lists based on which ones have track titles, varying degrees of completeness, etc. For now I'm just trying to keep track of those that have anything music-related in-game. |

Are you counting sound tests only accessible via hacking? Or just the ones that can be viewed in-game without having to resort to such methods? Explorers of Time/Darkness sound test requires hacking, but the one in Sky (the enhanced version) doesn't.
