{{item infobox
A '''Crate''' is an item container featured in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. Like all other containers, the Crate must be broken before the items inside can be used in battle. To break the carrier, the wooden Crate could either be picked up and tossed in the air, or be attacked repeatedly on the ground. Crates could also be thrown at opponents, although it was difficult to hit other fighters, as throwing the cumbersome container took a long amount of time. Sometimes, Crates would explode under enough stress, damaging all nearby fighters. In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', the Crate held one to three items, and was also extremely heavy. In fact, only [[Donkey Kong]] could lift up the Crate and walk around with it; all the other fighters could only pick up the container and toss it from a stationary position.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Crate would usually reveal much more than three items when broken. Again, the Crate was very heavy, although all fighters could pick up the container and walk with it (albeit most could only walk very slowly because of the container's weight). Only very strong fighters, such as Donkey Kong and [[Bowser]], could walk at a relatively normal speed with a Crate in hand.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 Crate.png|frame|left]]
Crates in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|its remake]] are [[Semisolid Platform]]s, with their differences being only aesthetic. Crates are located only in [[airship]] levels.


== Trophy Information ==
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
''A Crate will release lots of items when it's broken open. It's very heavy, so unless your character is strong, you’ll walk slowly while under its burden. You can throw Crates up, down, left or right, but it's hard to hit opponents because the throwing process takes time. Every now and then, a Crate will explode under duress.''
Crates in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its remake]] appear as platforms in the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. They are impassable from all sides.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=01:28|url=youtu.be/kJpQWOPNlMA?feature=shared&t=88|title= Sunken Ghost Ship {{!}} ''Super Mario World'' 100% Cleared|author=hXc Hector|date=February 2, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref>


{{SSB Items}}
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Crates in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]] are objects that can be picked up and thrown, and they can release [[coin]]s upon hitting their target. A specific Crate named the [[Slide Box]] appears on the bridge of the sunken ship in [[Jolly Roger Bay]], and its largest difference from Crates is that it takes away health from the [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. There is another variety, the [[Crazed Crate]], which bounces the player three times before breaking.


[[Category: Super Smash Bros. Items]]
In the remake only, a Crate can be eaten by [[Yoshi]] to produce a cube-shaped [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]].<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/qPr9U6VPSfs?feature=shared&t=28|timestamp=0:28|title=Super Mario 64 Ds<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> - Square Yoshi Egg|date=July 12, 2019|author=Hey_Hey43|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Crates also have a wooden plank texture in the remake, replacing the original cork-like texture.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Crates in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' are solid objects which can be destroyed by hitting them with [[Bob-omb]]s. They appear in the level [[Airship Plunder]], as well as in some Secret Courses. Crates can contain coins: when the crate is destroyed these coins spill out and land in a clump forward from the crate's position. These coins will despawn given time. Items can float in a layer in front of crates, meaning the crate has to destroyed to touch it directly. If the item is a [[Bonus Medal]], [[Purple Coin]], or [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]], then the coin magnetization of [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] can also be used.  Certain courses, including Airship Plunder, have a countdown as crates are destroyed. This countdown displays a red number, similarly to [[Red Coin]]s. When the counter reaches 0, it shows a star icon instead, and a specific [[? Block]] later in the course will contain a [[Super Star]] instead of any other item. In Airship Plunder, the number of crates required for this to occur varies depending on which kind of [[color coin]]s have been selected to appear in the course.

[[Coin]]s and [[Key]]s can be placed in them in the editor, and drop out whenever the crate is destroyed. Crates float on water and lava. Special crates known as '''Builder Boxes''' can also be placed down when the player is in their [[Builder Mario|Builder form]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Crate}}
[[File:CrateUltimate.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
Crates in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] are items appearing in every installment. Since they are container items, crates must be destroyed before the item within them can be used. A crate can be destroyed from  be picked up and tossed in the air, or be attacked repeatedly on the ground. Crates can also be thrown at opponents, although it is difficult to hit other fighters, since throwing a Crate takes a few seconds. Sometimes, Crates explode under enough stress, damaging all nearby fighters. Crates in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' contain one to three items, and are very heavy to the point that only [[Donkey Kong]] can lift them and walk around with them, whilst the other fighters can only pick up the container and throw a Crate without moving. Crates in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' have an increased carrying capacity, containing anywhere from three to five items when broken. Most fighters can now walk around while carrying a Crate, although very slowly since the Crate is still very heavy, and only Donkey Kong can walk at a relatively normal speed with a Crate in hand. Crates in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' can have their aesthetic altered between stages, such as being made of chrome in a stage representing the {{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series}}, and the game also introduces the [[Rolling Crate]], which slides across the floor, and the [[Blast Box]], a dangerous item that can explode upon being thrown. Crates and Rolling Crates in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' return as items, with wooden ones retaining their usual design, although the futuristic Crates have a different appearance with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' symbol, and lids can be seen on the present-like Crates. Crates return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', retaining their design from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''.
 
They represent the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, not the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], indicated not only from the series logo on them but also in [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] descriptions throughout the series.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Crates in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' appear in several levels. Breaking a Crate can cause it to drop paint, [[Coin]]s, or [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Cards]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MKT crates.png|thumb|Two crates on [[London Loop]] in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Crates in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series appear as obstacles on various tracks. They break when hit, releasing an item on the ground, and slows whoever drives into them. Crates in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' appear in [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]], including its reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]], including its reappearances in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Crates have been added to a few courses later on. They appear in [[Toad's Factory]] of ''Mario Kart Wii'', being carried across the track by [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor]]s. Crates in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' are moved around by a baggage carousel right before the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] in [[Sunshine Airport]] and found at the start of [[Toad Harbor]]. Crates in ''Mario Kart Tour'' appear in a small passage between the {{wp|Tower Bridge}} section and the finish line in [[London Loop]] (including its ''{{Booster Course Pass}}'' appearance), where they give bonus points when destroyed.
 
===''Wario Land: Shake It!''===
Crates in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' are uncommon blocks alongside [[stone block]]s and metal panels. They can be destroyed from any attack.
 
===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:DrMarioWorldCrate.png|thumb|right|A crate can be found in four different states in ''Dr. Mario World''.]]
Crates in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' appear as stage objects, starting from [[World 6 (Dr. Mario World)|World 6]]. A crate can be found in four different states, which shows the current durability of the crate. A crate can be whittled down by making a capsule match next to it or by targeting it with a skill or an item. It take up to four hits to fully destroy a crate normally, although certain doctors have skills that can immediately destroy crates. [[Roy Koopa|Dr. Roy]]'s skill involves crates, where in stage mode his skill can immediately destroy up to ten of them in the stage regardless of their state (unless any are locked inside cages), while in versus mode he can send up to eight crates to the opponent's stage, where each crate will normally take two hits to be destroyed. Crates can also appear in certain starting layouts in versus mode.

Crates (also known as Wooden Crates)[1][2] appear in the Super Mario franchise as interactive or environmental wooden boxes that sometimes contain items.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

A crate in Super Mario Bros. 3

Crates in Super Mario Bros. 3 and its remake are Semisolid Platforms, with their differences being only aesthetic. Crates are located only in airship levels.

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Crates in Super Mario World and its remake appear as platforms in the Sunken Ghost Ship. They are impassable from all sides.[3]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Crates in Super Mario 64 and its remake are objects that can be picked up and thrown, and they can release coins upon hitting their target. A specific Crate named the Slide Box appears on the bridge of the sunken ship in Jolly Roger Bay, and its largest difference from Crates is that it takes away health from the Power Meter. There is another variety, the Crazed Crate, which bounces the player three times before breaking.

In the remake only, a Crate can be eaten by Yoshi to produce a cube-shaped Yoshi Egg.[4] Crates also have a wooden plank texture in the remake, replacing the original cork-like texture.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Crates in Super Mario Sunshine are objects which are breakable from a ground-pound, which sometimes reveals a coin. Crates in Delfino Plaza appear within a building with the crate guy, who challenges Mario to destroy all of them within 30 seconds,[5] earning Mario a Shine Sprite if he is successful.[6]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy appearance

Crates in Super Mario Galaxy are objects that contain coins,[7] and some also have Star Bits.[8] Crates can be destroyed from being spun into.[7]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Crates in New Super Mario Bros. Wii are wooden objects that can be broken from a Ground Pound to reveal coins, a power-up, or sometimes even a Star Coin. Crates in Ghost Houses can be broken by Broozers. Crates have an indestructible metal counterpart, Iron Blocks.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Crates in Super Mario Galaxy 2 retain their properties from Super Mario Galaxy. They are featured in the Crate Burning minigame in secret missions for the Rightside Down Galaxy and the Upside Dizzy Galaxy. The goal being to destroy Crates as fast as possible,[9] particularly by Fire Mario within twenty seconds.[10] Crates have similar metal-edged variants that can also be destroyed by a fireball, except it cannot pass through, and these crates can also cost Mario or Luigi an extra life if it crushes them.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Crates in Super Mario 3D Land resemble their design from Super Mario Galaxy. Crates can be broken either from a roll, a tail-whip, a fireball, a boomerang, or invincibility.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Crates in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their port are objects which retain their properties from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The larger and indestructible floating crates[11] appear in Fliprus Lake, and they sink briefly when stood on before bouncing back into place.[12]

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Crates in Super Mario 3D World and its port are objects retaining both their cosmetic and physical properties from Super Mario 3D Land. Some reveal Mini Goombas when broken.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Crates in Super Mario Run are solid objects which can be destroyed by hitting them with Bob-ombs. They appear in the level Airship Plunder, as well as in some Secret Courses. Crates can contain coins: when the crate is destroyed these coins spill out and land in a clump forward from the crate's position. These coins will despawn given time. Items can float in a layer in front of crates, meaning the crate has to destroyed to touch it directly. If the item is a Bonus Medal, Purple Coin, or Pink Coin, then the coin magnetization of invincibility can also be used. Certain courses, including Airship Plunder, have a countdown as crates are destroyed. This countdown displays a red number, similarly to Red Coins. When the counter reaches 0, it shows a star icon instead, and a specific ? Block later in the course will contain a Super Star instead of any other item. In Airship Plunder, the number of crates required for this to occur varies depending on which kind of color coins have been selected to appear in the course.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Crates in Super Mario Odyssey are stationary objects. They glow if they contain a Power Moon,[13] and can be destroyed from a Ground Pound.[13]

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Crates in Super Mario Maker 2 appear as a course element in the Super Mario 3D World style only. They can be picked up, thrown, and destroyed with a Ground Pound or by a Koopa Troopa Car running into it. Coins and Keys can be placed in them in the editor, and drop out whenever the crate is destroyed. Crates float on water and lava. Special crates known as Builder Boxes can also be placed down when the player is in their Builder form.

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Crates in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Crates in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 are objects that can be broken by Ground Pound to release either Stars or a Key. Baron von Zeppelins hold crates in the air, and Yoshi can shoot them down by a Yoshi Egg.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Crate in the game Yoshi's Island DS.

Crates in Yoshi's Island DS retain their behavior as before. This time, they can now be broken by Baby DK's DK Dash Attack; Baby Bowser's fire breath cannot break them, however.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Crate in Yoshi's New Island

Crates in Yoshi's New Island retain their behavior from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. However, Item Balloons no longer hold them in the air. They first appear in Chomp Rock 'n' Roll, with their last appearance being Slime Drop Drama.

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Throughout the Donkey Kong Country series, there are Animal Crates where an Animal Friend can be obtained by Kongs such as Donkey and Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Crates in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest are objects that the player characters can pick up and throw like a Barrel,[14] except Crates break the instant they hit they ground.[15]

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]

A Crate appears in Barrel Drop Bounce of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!,[16] using the same sprite, but does not appear in the remake.[17] It looks and functions the same as before.[18]

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]

Crates in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze appear as functional platforms stacked among Snowmad cargo in Mangrove Cove[19] and Shipwreck Shore.[20] They often display the Snowmad insignia on their front sides. Ground Pounding a Crate breaks it and reveals either a Banana Bunch,[20] a banana,[21] or a Banana Coin.[22]

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

SmashWiki article: Crate
Crate in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Artwork from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Crates in the Super Smash Bros. series are items appearing in every installment. Since they are container items, crates must be destroyed before the item within them can be used. A crate can be destroyed from be picked up and tossed in the air, or be attacked repeatedly on the ground. Crates can also be thrown at opponents, although it is difficult to hit other fighters, since throwing a Crate takes a few seconds. Sometimes, Crates explode under enough stress, damaging all nearby fighters. Crates in Super Smash Bros. contain one to three items, and are very heavy to the point that only Donkey Kong can lift them and walk around with them, whilst the other fighters can only pick up the container and throw a Crate without moving. Crates in Super Smash Bros. Melee have an increased carrying capacity, containing anywhere from three to five items when broken. Most fighters can now walk around while carrying a Crate, although very slowly since the Crate is still very heavy, and only Donkey Kong can walk at a relatively normal speed with a Crate in hand. Crates in Super Smash Bros. Brawl can have their aesthetic altered between stages, such as being made of chrome in a stage representing the Star Fox series, and the game also introduces the Rolling Crate, which slides across the floor, and the Blast Box, a dangerous item that can explode upon being thrown. Crates and Rolling Crates in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U return as items, with wooden ones retaining their usual design, although the futuristic Crates have a different appearance with the Super Smash Bros. symbol, and lids can be seen on the present-like Crates. Crates return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, retaining their design from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

They represent the Super Smash Bros. series, not the Super Mario franchise, indicated not only from the series logo on them but also in trophy descriptions throughout the series.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

A crate as it appears in Paper Mario

Wooden boxes in Paper Mario appear in Boo's Mansion and Bowser's Castle. They can be smashed with a Spin Jump or Tornado Jump, sometimes revealing items such as Apples and Star Pieces.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

Crates in Paper Mario: Color Splash appear in several levels. Breaking a Crate can cause it to drop paint, Coins, or Battle Cards. A crate in The Golden Coliseum contains a Super Star inside of it. Crates must be fully painted before Mario can destroy them.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Crates in Paper Mario: The Origami King are indestructible objects commonly used as a staircase for Mario to reach higher areas.

Wario World[edit]

Crates in Wario World appear in Unithorn's Lair, where a random one contains an Escape Spring, the only way to escape the location.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Two crates
Two crates on London Loop in Mario Kart Tour

Crates in the Mario Kart series appear as obstacles on various tracks. They break when hit, releasing an item on the ground, and slows whoever drives into them. Crates in Mario Kart DS appear in Delfino Square, including its reappearance in Mario Kart Wii, and Airship Fortress, including its reappearances in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour. Crates have been added to a few courses later on. They appear in Toad's Factory of Mario Kart Wii, being carried across the track by conveyors. Crates in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are moved around by a baggage carousel right before the finish line in Sunshine Airport and found at the start of Toad Harbor. Crates in Mario Kart Tour appear in a small passage between the Tower Bridge section and the finish line in London Loop (including its Booster Course Pass appearance), where they give bonus points when destroyed.

Wario Land: Shake It![edit]

Crates in Wario Land: Shake It! are uncommon blocks alongside stone blocks and metal panels. They can be destroyed from any attack.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

Crate from Dr. Mario World
A crate can be found in four different states in Dr. Mario World.

Crates in Dr. Mario World appear as stage objects, starting from World 6. A crate can be found in four different states, which shows the current durability of the crate. A crate can be whittled down by making a capsule match next to it or by targeting it with a skill or an item. It take up to four hits to fully destroy a crate normally, although certain doctors have skills that can immediately destroy crates. Dr. Roy's skill involves crates, where in stage mode his skill can immediately destroy up to ten of them in the stage regardless of their state (unless any are locked inside cages), while in versus mode he can send up to eight crates to the opponent's stage, where each crate will normally take two hits to be destroyed. Crates can also appear in certain starting layouts in versus mode.

How to unlock: Random drop in single-player modes or the Lottery
A Crate will release lots of items when it's broken open. It's very heavy, so unless your character is strong, you’ll walk slowly while under its burden. You can throw Crates up, down, left or right, but it's hard to hit opponents because the throwing process takes time. Every now and then, a Crate will explode under duress.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Item holders. You can destroy these to get at the items they contain, but be careful, because they will sometimes explode when broken. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, crates were uniform in design, but this time around, their appearance will change to match the stages. They'll sometimes look futuristic--other times, they'll look like presents with fancy ribbons.

Throw or attack this crate to bust it open and get the goodies hidden inside. The crate may look different based on the stage you're battling on, but the items inside won't change. Sometimes these things can explode, however, so it's best to be very crateful around them... (American English)
Just throw or attack crates to get at the goodies inside! Their appearance changes depending on the stage, so maybe you'll get a wooden crate, or...maybe you won't. That doesn't change how it is on the inside, though, which is a good life lesson. Also, it may just explode if you attack it - another important life lesson from us to you. (British English)

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Goombario has the following Tattle dialogue regarding wooden boxes.

  • "This box looks sort of fragile, but you can't break it with the power level you have now." (if Mario has the starting Boots)
  • "It's a wooden box. You can break it if you Spin Jump on top of it. There might be something inside. Let's break it open to find out!" (if Mario has the Super Boots)
  • "It's a wooden box. You can break it if you Tornado Jump on top of it. There might be something inside. Let's break it open to find out!" (if Mario has the Ultra Boots)

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Sturdy Crates
  • Collectible Treasure No. 34: "A set of wooden crates, impervious to even the strongest hammer blows. Their stoic form radiates confidence."

Dr. Mario World[edit]

  • Eliminate a piece next to a crate, and it'll break a little bit.
