I've just had the worst idea

Run what appears to be a regular numbers station, but occasionally interject with "that's numberwang!" every so often

@BatElite Pretty much. The game has a list of values that it uses to play each note, ordered in ascending order (C, C#, D, D#, E...). We reversed those values, so they go in descending order (C, B, A#, A, G#...), but left the actual music data untouched, so it uses the wrong values.

Of course, after this, I had to check what other Mario games used this same frequency table.

I found out Super Mario Bros. 3 also did.

It turned out about equally well.

So, @Xkeeper found the music frequency tables in Super Mario Bros. 2 a few days ago.

<Xk> Let's see what happens when we swap the values in reverse order.
<Xk> ...
<me> ... oh dear.

Here's what we got:

@Xkeeper I'm probably super dumb for not remembering, but where is that lock block used?

I'm stuck... in subroutine hell... x.x
I've been tracing out one function for two hours and haven't even come close to finding the end of it... x.x
I think... I'm going to bed now... and then I'll start again in the morning... x.x

making different music by fucking up note frequencies is cool
