Tox Boxes appear in [[Shifting Sand Land]], the eighth course of the game. They attempt to flatten Mario by rolling over him. The path is a small maze of tiles surrounded by darker, faster-moving [[quicksand]] that sucks Mario in instantly. The tiled maze that the Tox Boxes travel on has a few [[Red Coin]]s on it, as well as the course's only [[cannon]]. If Mario gets squished by a Tox Box's side, he loses three wedges of [[Health Meter|health]]. [[Long Jump|Long-jump]]ing into the side of a Tox Box's face that is above quicksand, off the side of the track, makes Mario lose a life instantly, playing the animation as if he has just fallen into the quicksand.<ref>[https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/184881267815/in-super-mario-64-jumping-toward-a-tox-box-in Supper Mario Broth], May 15, 2019.</ref>

While they cannot be defeated in the original game ''Super Mario 64'', they can be defeated by [[Wario]] in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' if he is inside one of the Tox Boxes and [[punch]]es (or [[jump]]s). In this case, the Tox Box will fly somewhere into the quicksand and sink, or onto a metal platform and shatter. If the Tox Box falls in the sand that the characters can normally stand in, it will simply stay in one spot until the player leaves the level. Tox Boxes also appear in the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' [[minigame]] [[Tox Box Shuffle]], where three of them each hide a Green or Light Blue [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and the player must guess which Tox Box it is in.

Tox Boxes reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These redesigned boxes usually appear alongside [[Thwomp]]s. They appear only in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and the [[Toy Time Galaxy]]. In both galaxies, they appear on small pathways, much as they did in Shifting Sand Land.

Unlike the Tox Boxes in ''Super Mario 64'', these ones resemble Thwomps; instead of having the faces spray-painted on, they are carved in a way resembling a Thwomp's face. These Tox Boxes also lack a face on the side opposite the hole. The hole itself has also been expanded quite a bit, and colored in red to resemble a mouth. They cannot be defeated similar to the [[Nintendo 64]] version of [[Super Mario 64]], and Mario or Luigi loses a life if he gets crushed.
