Super Mario Mario Party

The Coffins are obstacles appearing only in Super Mario 64 and its DS version Super Mario 64 DS. They are Haunted Coffins that appear to be possessed as their lids periodically lift up before slamming back down.

In Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS[]

Coffin DS

Coffins are first seen in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. In these games, they are located in the fourth room of the second floor in Big Boo's Haunt. They rise when Mario approaches them and after some seconds they close. If Mario is caught in a coffin, he will take heavy damage so be careful, Coffins usually shake to indicate when they're going to slam back shut. Two of the Red Coins are hidden underneath two of the Coffins, in Super Mario 64 DS, this was changed to one as the other Red Coin stashed beneath the Coffin was moved to be above the staircase.

In Mario Party 2[]

Similar coffins appear in the mini-game Coffin Congestion. The minigame features six Coffins, five of which contain a useful items while one of them possesses Baby Bowser. The player will have to watch the Coffins as they get shuffled around and pick the right one. If a Coffin with an item is selected, the player will win that item however the game is lost if the coffin with Baby Bowser is picked so be careful.
