'''Baddie Boxes'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=11|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 13, 2011|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=18|date=November 22, 2013|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-804-16249-4}}</ref> are [[block]]s appearing in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are dark olive-green boxes with dark-yellow borders and [[Bowser]]'s [[emblem]] in red printed on their sides. When a Baddie Box is approached, the Bowser symbols pulse red (doing so only three times before opening in ''Super Mario 3D World'') and the box releases an enemy, though it will stop creating enemies if it has released three that are still onscreen. Defeating these enemies causes the box to generate more to replace them.

Baddie Boxes are semi-rare, appearing in [[World 2-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-4]], {{world link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}, [[Special 1-3]], and [[Special 8-3]] in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. These blocks release two kinds of enemies: [[Goomba]]s in World 2-4 and Special 1-3, and [[Dry Bones]] in World 5-Castle and Special 8-3. They can be destroyed by the [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki form]] or [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], or while [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], although Baddie Boxes are typically found above hazards such as an [[pit|abyss]] or [[lava]].

A [[glitch]] can occur in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' when White Tanooki Mario or Invincible Mario [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]s; it prevents him from falling through a Baddie Box, which explodes, and the game starts to lag. This glitch can be done in World 2-4, World 5-Castle, and Special 1-3, with the last being the only [[level]] where the player can also use Luigi for the glitch. Another glitch exists in ''Super Mario 3D World'', where if a Baddie Box is destroyed while it is activated, its sound [[List of Super Mario 3D World glitches#Infinite Baddie Box Sound*|will loop indefinitely]].<ref name="SonOfAGlitch">{{cite|language=en|author=A+Start|date=March 15, 2019|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rPdbTaBrBQ|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' Glitches - Son of a Glitch - Episode 87|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 6, 2019}} It was also patched in ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''.</ref><ref name="Adrylek">{{cite|author=Adrylek|date=February 2, 2014|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ST1J1eJOCQ|language=en|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' Glitches|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 6, 2019}}</ref>

In ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', Baddie Boxes appear only in [[Bob-ombs Below]], [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]], and [[Super Block Land]], and in ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'', they appear only in [[Roiling Roller Isle]]; they release only [[Bob-omb]]s. They can also be destroyed by [[Lucky Cat Mario]] and, in  ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' only, [[White Cat Mario]].

These boxes are similar to the enemy-releasing [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and [[jar]]s in the 2D games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], though those usually cannot be destroyed.

The [[Bowser Jr. Block]] in the queue of [[Super Nintendo World#Power-Up Band Key Challenges|Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown]] in the [[Super Nintendo World]] theme park areas uses the ''Super Mario 3D Land'' design of Baddie Boxes but with [[Bowser Jr.]]'s emblem instead of Bowser's.
