The Mad Piano[1] is an enemy appearing in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. 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 the Mad Piano, 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. It is impossible to defeat this enemy in any way, despite the Nintendo Power Player's Guide erroneously stating otherwise.[1]
Though the Mad Piano has not appeared in any other Super Mario game, 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 in 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, but some of the grand piano attacks involve actions such as lunging upward in an attempt to land onto Luigi.
