The Purple Box

The Purple Box is an anomalous box similarly to the cap boxes, as well as the yellow boxes, though is notably recolored to be purple. It is separate from the boxes containing Yoshi unlocked in Sweet, Sweet Sanctuary, despite both being purple, due to both anomalies never being noted to appear in the same copy. The Purple Box instead has been noted to appear seemingly anywhere, and when broken, spawns a harmful anomaly. The list of anomalies that spawn include but are not limited to:


 * The Siren of Hazy Maze Cave.
 * The Wario Apparition.
 * Mother Dorrie.

The Purple Box is considered potentially harmful to the individual playing it due to it's anomalous nature, and it is advised to avoid the Purple Box. A theory suggests that the Purple Box originally would have had it's own power-up, potentially the ridable Yoshi seen in Sweet, Sweet Sanctuary, but the data was corrupted after it was scrapped, making it into it's current form.
