The "Crazy Rattle Racer" (also known as Tuskiapaya, Tuskipaya, or a variant of Sikyachantaka/Aya Rattle Racer Kachina) is a traditional Hopi Katsina (Kachina) figure.

This runner/racer Katsina appears in spring dances (e.g., during Powamuya or Bean Dance ceremonies). It races against village men. Winners may receive rewards like piki bread; losers can be whipped with yucca sticks as a playful or disciplinary act. It embodies speed, discipline, and community participation in Hopi traditions.
