'''Tox Boxes''' are enemies resembling metal or stone boxes with multiple faces that roll along set paths. Tox Boxes first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The paths they go on are usually similar to their width, making it nearly impossible for [[Mario]] to walk around. Tox Boxes have faces on all but one side; the last side is only a square hole, which is for Mario to stand in as a Tox Box passes over the tile he is standing on, thus letting him survive without being crushed. However, the edges of the holed side still crush Mario if he stands under them. Tox Boxes appear as red industrial metal boxes with spray-painted faces in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', but they were redesigned for ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and later games, currently appearing as a relative of [[Thwomp]] designed after the Japanese {{wp|Oni (folklore)|oni}}. The Japanese name was changed to reflect the new appearance. | '''Tox Boxes''' are enemies resembling metal or stone boxes with multiple faces that roll along set paths.

Tox Boxes | Tox Boxes appear in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. They attempt to flatten Mario by rolling over him. The path is a small maze of tiles surrounded by darker, faster-moving [[quicksand]] that sucks Mario in instantly. The tiled maze that the Tox Boxes travel on has a few [[Red Coin]]s on it, as well as the course's only [[cannon]]. If Mario gets squished by a Tox Box's side, he loses three wedges of [[Health Meter|health]]. [[Long Jump|Long-jump]]ing into the side of a Tox Box's face that is above quicksand, off the side of the track, makes Mario lose a life instantly, playing the animation as if he has just fallen into the quicksand.<ref>{{cite|url=www.suppermariobroth.com/post/184881267815/in-super-mario-64-jumping-toward-a-tox-box-in|title=Supper Mario Broth|date=May 15, 2019}}</ref> | ||
While Tox Boxes cannot be defeated in the original ''Super Mario 64'', they can | While Tox Boxes cannot be defeated in the original ''Super Mario 64'', they can by [[Wario]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' if he is inside one of them and [[punch]]es (or [[jump]]s). In this case, the Tox Box flies somewhere into the quicksand and sinks, or onto a metal platform and shatters. If the Tox Box falls in the sand that the characters can normally stand in, it simply stays in one spot until the player leaves the level. Tox Boxes also appear in the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' [[minigame]] [[Tox Box Shuffle]], where three of them each hide a Green or Light Blue [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and the player must guess which Tox Box it is in. In the main game, they no longer have noses, but in Tox Box Shuffle, they do. | ||

Unlike the Tox Boxes in ''Super Mario 64'', these ones resemble Thwomps; instead of having the faces spray-painted on, they are carved in two subtly different ways which match on opposite ends, both resembling a Thwomp's face and appearing as a different face depending on which side is upward. These Tox Boxes also lack a face on the side opposite the hole. The hole itself has also been expanded quite a bit, and is colored in red to resemble a mouth. They cannot be defeated like in the original ''Super Mario 64'', and Mario or Luigi loses a life if he gets crushed. | Unlike the Tox Boxes in ''Super Mario 64'', these ones resemble Thwomps; instead of having the faces spray-painted on, they are carved in two subtly different ways which match on opposite ends, both resembling a Thwomp's face and appearing as a different face depending on which side is upward.

By using the various [[blue switch (Super Mario Galaxy)|blue switch]]es found in the galaxy, the Tox Boxes, along with the other obstacles in the galaxy, drastically slow down. | ||

|description=''High above the penguin-filled beaches in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, a Launch Star has catapulted Mario onto the Cyclone Stone where he must avoid the attack of the Tox Boxes. These huge metal boxes rumble along their own pathways crushing anything in their path. To avoid being squashed, Mario can run under the enemy's one open side and wait in its hollow center until it rolls ahead on its path.'' | |||
