Happy Box
Happy Boxes are an important plot element in Mother 3, sold and created by the Pigmask Army. They were first seen in Chapter 3, advertised by Salsa under the control of Fassad. Happy Boxes are implied to be brainwashing devices, hypnotizing people to buy consumer goods from New Pork City, and also leading to the modernization of Tazmily Village. The villagers in Tazmily Village were skeptical at first, and only four were sold, to Abbot, Abbey, Biff, and Isaac, respectively. Three years later in Chapter 4, it is shown that nearly everyone in the village owns a Happy Box, excluding a select few. Lightning often strikes the homes of anyone who does not own a Happy Box, namely Flint's family, Alec, and Reggie.
Despite their similar appearance to televisions, they are not actually displaying anything, and they were redesigned multiple times to make them less resemble televisions.[1]
