A '''Crazed Crate''',<ref>"''Grabbing a Crazed Crate in a course like Lethal Lava Land would seem to be an insane thing to do, given that there's a good chance the crate will take you for a wild ride out into the lava.''" &ndash; M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]. Page 63.</ref><ref>"''Be careful when you grab the Crazed Crate at the beginning of the course. It can take you out into the quicksand if you grab it from the wrong angle.''" &ndash; M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]. Page 69.</ref> or '''Crazy Crate''',<ref>(June 10, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064726/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/7-7.html Course 7 - Star 7: Collect 100 Coins]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved March 15, 2022.</ref> is a [[block]] found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It is a beige box, similar in appearance to a standard [[Block (Super Mario 64)|block]], with the same worried face on each side of it. If [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] grabs a Crazed Crate, the box bounces around three times in the direction the player character is facing, with him holding on. The [[jump]]s get progressively higher. After the last jump, the crate explodes and five [[coin]]s appear. Crazed Crates can also bounce off walls, which do not count as one of the three bounces. Crazed Crates appear in [[Big Boo's Haunt]], in [[Lethal Lava Land]], in [[Shifting Sand Land]], and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]. In all [[level]]s listed, only one appears, except for Shifting Sand Land, where there are two. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they appear to have sclerae.

Many Crazed Crates (named '''Whomp Blocks''' in English) also appear in a ''[[Mario Party]]'' [[minigame]] called [[Box Mountain Mayhem]], where the players have to break all of the blocks to get coins; however, if one hits a Crazed Crate, that player does not get a coin and is moved away from the blocks.
