| | The '''Mad Piano''' is a piano appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It looks normal at first, but when [[Luigi]], [[Wario]] or [[Mario]] goes near the instrument, it begins to open and close its lid, revealing sharp teeth. The Mad Piano then proceeds to chase and attack the trespasser (while making the sounds that sound like some one hitting its keys) until they have left the room where the piano lies. The Mad Piano only appears in [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. A [[Red Coin]] can be found behind it. |

The Mad Piano appears only in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and protects a [[Red Coin]] found behind it. The Mad Piano looks like a normal black piano and is harmless at first, but when the player approaches it, it begins to open and close its lid, revealing sharp teeth. The Mad Piano proceeds to chase and attack the player (while making the sounds that sound like someone hitting its keys) until they are far enough away. If hit by the Mad Piano, the player loses three wedges of [[Health Meter|health]]. The ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Player's Guide erroneously states that the Mad Piano can be defeated.<ref name="NP"/> | |

| Though the Mad Piano has not appeared in any other game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], some pianos similar to it have made an appearance. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', during the night in [[Horror Land]], a similar piano plays in a band with a violin and trumpet. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', another similar piano appears on the board [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', [[Amadeus Wolfgeist]], the boss of [[The Great Stage]], possesses his grand piano to attack [[Luigi]] in a similar manner to the Mad Piano, a connection to which [[Nintendo]] of Europe's X account made a reference,<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/NintendoEurope/status/1198995113441140736|date=November 25, 2019|title=If the haunted piano from Super Mario 64 still gives you nightmares, please keep scrolling.|language=en-gb|publisher=X|author=NintendoEurope|accessdate=May 22, 2024}}</ref> but some of the grand piano attacks involve actions such as lunging upward in an attempt to land on Luigi.
