Pyro Box, as seen in Super Mario 64.
A Pyro Box is a mechanical flamethrower found solely in the game Super Mario 64.
Pyro Boxes appear in all of Bowser's levels. These boxes are diamond-shaped with a hole in the center. About every three seconds, a Pyro Box shoots a stream of fire from its center. Pyro Boxes cannot be destroyed.
If hit by the flames, Mario will lose three life points. Additionally, Mario will run around uncontrollably, possibly forcing the plumber over the edge of a cliff. But if Mario jumps around while he's on fire, he may only take two life points.
