Calculators were primarily meant to help humans compute for large numbers. Surprisingly, a netizen found that these tools could also make good music.

Posted by YouTuber “It’s a small world,” the video featured the “Super Mario Bros.” game song played on four calculators. It has already racked up over two million views as of this writing.

According to “It’s a small world,” the composition had to be changed a little. The calculators could not play all the notes needed to fully recreate the original song.
