Treasure chest



Treasure Chests (often referred to as Treasure Boxes) are scattered throughout Mushroom World in many different games. Some hold the most mundane of items while others hold unique items needed to complete a quest.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Treasure Chests hover in the air (just like ? Blocks), and must be hit from below. They can contain coins, items, mushrooms, weapons, and even monsters. These monsters are Pandorite, Hidon, Box Boy and Chester. A golden Treasure Chests is in the last area of Bowser's Keep, which contains an infinite amount of Gold Coins. Surprise Boxes, special invisible Treasure Boxes, also appear in the game.

Luigi's Mansion featured small Treasure Chests. They contain either Stones, Keys, or even Speedy Spirits. Some are duds and don't contain anything, usually found in the Hidden Room. Treasure Chests can sometimes be opened by using the Poltergust 3000. There are also big Treasure Chests that usually contain Area Keys.

In the Paper Mario series, Mario could find many Treasure chests on his adventures. They contain either Badges or Keys. In very big Treasure Chests, there are weapon upgrades such as Super Boots or Ultra Hammer. There is another Treasure Chest called Black Chests which contain demons. Boos also appear in some Treasure Chests and strangely fit despite their body size.

It appears in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. If a character touches one of these Treasure Chests in the wrong order, he will be shocked and stunned. Although if he touches them in the correct order, he may gain a Power Star or cause water to drain. They are only seen in Jolly Roger Bay.

In Wario World, each Treasure Chest contains one of Wario's sixty-four treasures. However, each Treasure Chest is linked to a Treasure Button, which must be activated before the treasure can be collected.

They also appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest where they are used to throw at enemies, also when they break apart they will leave an item, such as a Banana Bunch.
