| ==History==
| | A Crazed Crate is a beige box, similar in appearance to a standard [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Block]], with the same worried face on each side of it. If [[Mario]] grabs a Crazed Crate, the box bounces around three times in the direction Mario is facing, with the plumber holding on. The [[jump]]s get progressively higher. After the last jump, the crate explodes and five [[Coin]]s appear. Crazed Crates can also bounce off of walls, which will not count as one of the three bounces. Crazed Crates appear in [[Big Boo's Haunt]], [[Lethal Lava Land]], [[Shifting Sand Land]], and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. In all levels listed, only one appears, except for Shifting Sand Land, where there are two. |
| ===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
| | [[File:MP2 Crazed Crates.png|thumb|right|Several '''Crazed Crate'''s in [[Bowser Land]].]] |
| In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Crazed Crates appear in [[Big Boo's Haunt]], in [[Lethal Lava Land]], in [[Shifting Sand Land]], and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. In all [[level]]s listed, only one appears, except for Shifting Sand Land, where there are two. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they appear to have sclerae. If [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] grabs a Crazed Crate (or if [[Yoshi]] eats one), the box bounces around three times in the direction the player character is facing, with him holding on. The [[jump]]s get progressively higher. After the last jump, the crate explodes and five [[coin]]s appear. Crazed Crates can also bounce off walls, which do not count as one of the three bounces.
| | Many Crazed Crates also appear in a ''[[Mario Party]]'' [[minigame]] called [[Box Mountain Mayhem]] where the player has to break all of the Blocks to get Coins; however, if they hit a Crazed Crate, the player does not get a Coin and is moved away from the blocks. They are mistakenly called "'''[[Whomp]] Boxes'''" in the English version. |

| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| Many Crazed Crates (named '''Whomp Blocks''' in English) also appear in a ''[[Mario Party]]'' [[minigame]] called [[Box Mountain Mayhem]], where the players have to break all of the blocks to get coins; however, if one hits a Whomp Block, that player does not get a coin and is moved away from the blocks.

| | |
| Some Crazed Crates appear as decorations in the ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' board [[Bowser Land]].
