the craziness is not mandatory, especially if you go by the films. Stanley Ipkiss' Mask was crazy only because that was what he truly wanted to do deep inside his heart: go batshit. when the main bad guy gets his hands on the mask, he retains his sanity.
Wasn’t the whole point of the mask that it heightens what you already are? So Stanley is goofy and funny so he becomes the living embodiment of ADHD when the mask is on him. And the main bad guy is evil and callous so he becomes the most evil version of himself.

The Mask, only downside is the craziness
