Crazed Crate
A Crazed Crate from Super Mario 64
Model from Super Mario 64
First appearance Super Mario 64 (1996)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)

A Crazed Crate,[1][2] or Crazy Crate,[3] is a block in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They resemble a standard block, but with the same dizzy face on each side, including sclerae in Super Mario 64 DS.

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Two Crazed Crates appear in the courses Big Boo's Haunt, Lethal Lava Land, and Tall, Tall Mountain, as well as one in Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. If a player character grabs a Crazed Crate (or Yoshi eats it in the remake), he first bounces in the direction faced, followed by two increasingly higher bounces before the Crazed Crate explodes, revealing five coins. Bouncing off of a wall is not counted as one of the three bounces.

Mario Party series[edit]

Whomp Blocks, as they are titled in English for Mario Party, are in the minigame Box Mountain Mayhem, where they bounce away players who hit them.

Some Crazed Crates are decorations in the Mario Party 2 board Bowser Land.
