Mad Piano (マッドピアノ) is an enemy from Super Mario 64.

Character description
Mad Piano's only real major appearance is in his debut game Super Mario 64. Mad Piano is an enemy who only appears in one level, being Big Boo's Haunt. The instrument appears to be stationary at first glance. However, if Mario gets anywhere near it, the Piano will open and close its lid, revealing sharp teeth. The Piano then proceeds to chase and attack the player, with each step the piano makes playing a sound that sounds like someone is hitting its keys. The piano will stop chasing Mario if you are a certain distance away from the instrument. The Mad Piano only appears to guard a lone red coin in Big Boo's Haunt, which is needed to get all the 8 red coins and obtain the star. If the piano managed to attack Mario, he will lose three slices of health. The piano returns in the DS remake as well as Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Despite Being an obscure enemy, who has only appeared in one level in one game, this enemy has become infamous for being widely considered one of the most scariest enemies in video game history.
