'''Chairs'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' internal object name (<tt>CHAIR</tt>)</ref> are enemies found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', in the course [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. They are wooden chairs, animated through unknown means. There are only two total in the game, and they can be found in only one room: the second door on the left, when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] enters the mansion from the front. When the player character enters the room and approaches one of them, the chair rises into the air, rapidly rotates, comes to a stop, and then hurls itself at them. The chair continues flying in its projected direction until it hits the floor or a wall, at which point it disappears. If it collides with the player character, they will lose two wedges of their [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. Unlike with biting [[Bookend]]s, [[jump]]ing into chairs does not destroy them and instead hurts them.
