19 - This game features a couple recorders that are originally from another game.
Hint 2: It even features the same tune and the same effect when you use one.
Hint 3: The game calls them "Recorder", both in my game as in the original it comes from, but in the original that was translation error to English which was common back then. It doesn't record anything, it's a flute, really.
Hint 4: In this game, three can be found, and they can be used to whirlwind you to another world..

Super Mario Bros 3.

Also, a recorder is a word for a musical instrument similar to a flute (or warp whistle in this instance), though not sure if it's exclusively a British / English thing.

What game are they originally from btw (assuming I'm correct?)

Correct, and, Zelda 1. The renamed it to Warp Whistle in Mario and Flute in Zelda later though.
