Baddie Box: Difference between revisions

'''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]]''. They are dark olive-green boxes with dark yellow borders and Bowser's symbols in red printed on its sides. When approached, the Bowser symbols will pulse red three times and the box will release an enemy. 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 worlds such as [[World 2-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-4]] and [[Special 1-3]]. These blocks release two kinds of enemies: [[Goomba]]s in normal levels and [[Dry Bone]]s in castle levels. Baddie Boxes have an infinite amount of enemies. They can be destroyed with a pound of [[Statue Mario]] or with a [[Super Star|Starman]], although Baddie Boxes are typically found above hazards such as open air or [[lava]]. A glitch can occur when [[White Tanooki Mario]] 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 and not in the air.

In World 2-4 and Special 1-3, Baddie Boxes are seen releasing Goombas, while in {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}} and [[Special 8-3]], they release infinite Dry Bones.

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