'''Baddie Boxes'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, page 11.</ref><ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. 2013. ''Super Mario 3D World'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide, page 18.</ref> are [[block]]s appearing in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They are dark olive-green boxes with dark yellow borders and Bowser's emblem in red printed on its sides. When approached, the Bowser symbols will pulse red (doing so only three times before opening in ''Super Mario 3D World'') and the box will release an enemy, though they will stop creating enemies if they have released three that are still on-screen. Defeating these enemies will cause the box to generate more to replace them.

They are semi-rare, featured in [[World 2-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-4]], {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}, [[Special 1-3]], and [[Special 8-3]]. These blocks release two kinds of enemies: [[Goomba]]s in World 2-4 and Special 1-3, and [[Dry Bones]] in World 5-Castle and Special 8-3. They can be destroyed by the [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki]] or [[Statue Mario|Statue forms]], or while Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], although Baddie Boxes are typically found above hazards such as an abyss or [[lava]].

A glitch can occur when White Tanooki Mario [[Ground Pound|ground pounds]]; it prevents him from falling through the box, which explodes, and the game starts to lag. This glitch can be done by Statue Mario or Luigi in Special 1-3, for example, because the Baddie Boxes are sitting on a platform instead.

In ''Super Mario 3D World'', Baddie Boxes only appear in [[Bob-ombs Below]], [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]] and [[Super Block Land]], and they only release [[Bob-omb]]s. They can also be destroyed by [[Lucky Cat Mario]].

These boxes are similar to the enemy-releasing [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] and [[jar]]s in the 2D ''Mario'' and ''Yoshi'' games, though those usually cannot be destroyed.
