The '''Metal Box''' ({{ja|緑ブロック|Midori Burokku}}, ''Green Block'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
The '''Metal Box''' ({{ja|緑ブロック|Midori Burokku}}, ''Green Block'') is an item from the {{uv|Mario}} series that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When broken with a physical attack, the Metal Box encases a [[character]]'s body in metal for a short period of time, which affects the character in various ways. Images of each character's metal form can be found [[Metal Box/Character gallery|here]].

[[File:MetalBoxSM64.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A Metal Box, as it originally appeared in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
The Metal Box made its appearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. It is a green {{s|mariowiki|Cap Block}} that materializes after Mario activates its corresponding green {{iw|mariowiki|Cap Switch}} in the {{s|mariowiki|Cavern of the Metal Cap}} area of the {{s|mariowiki|Hazy Maze Cave}} level. After breaking it, the green Cap Block releases a {{s|mariowiki|Metal Cap}} which temporarily transforms Mario into [[Metal Mario]], making him invulnerable (though he's still vulnerable to fall damage), but also extremely heavy.
The {{s|mariowiki|Metal Box}} originates from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' as a green {{s|mariowiki|! Block}} that materializes after Mario activates its corresponding green [[mariowiki:! Switch|Cap Switch]] at the {{s|mariowiki|Cavern of the Metal Cap}}. Upon being destroyed, it releases a {{s|mariowiki|Metal Cap}} that, after grabbing it, encases him in metal. He becomes more powerful, immune to all damage, and can walk underwater, but at the same time, becomes much heavier, sluggish, and unable to swim. These effects are similar the Metal Box's effects in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, except that Mario's voice is not suppressed, unless he is submerged underwater.


In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}'', the ! Blocks are replaced by red {{s|mariowiki|? Block}}s that materializes after activating the red {{s|mariowiki|? Switch}} at the [[mariowiki:Tower of the Wing Cap|Rainbow Tower]] level. After breaking it, the ? Block releases a {{iw|mariowiki|Power Flower|Super Mario 64 DS}}, which has different effects on each of the game's four playable characters. If the player collects the Power Flower as [[Wario]], then he transforms into Metal Wario, which features the same effects as the Metal Cap.
All green, red, and blue ! Blocks are replaced by red {{s|mariowiki|? Block}}s in the Nintendo DS remake of the game, ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}''. After activating them with the red {{s|mariowiki|? Switch}} at the [[mariowiki:Tower of the Wing Cap|Rainbow Tower]], they can be broken to release the [[mariowiki:Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]], which has different effects on each of the game's four playable characters. This power-up exhibits the same effects as the Metal Cap when picked up by [[Wario]].{{clr}}

==Overview==
==Overview==
===As an item===
The Metal Box encases the character's body in metal when broken with a physical attack. When broken by [[Rosalina]] in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', her [[Luma]] is also metalized. However, when broken by [[Olimar]], his {{b|Pikmin|species}} are not affected. In addition, only one [[Ice Climber]] can hit the box first, so only one can be metalized per box. Finally, [[Giga Bowser]], [[Wario-Man]], [[Mega Lucario]], and [[Giga Mac]] are not affected by breaking Metal Boxes.  
[[File:Metal Box Melee.png|thumb|200px|The Metal Box in ''Melee''.]]
The Metal Box item debuted as a transforming [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. However, the basic concept for the Metal Box, that being making the character a voiceless, [[armor]]ed [[heavyweight]], originated in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', with [[Metal Mario]] as a boss character in [[1P Game]]. The effects of the Metal Box differ from ''Super Mario 64'', including the character taking damage and falling faster.


The Metal Box transforms the player's fighter who breaks it into a [[Metal]] fighter. Metal fighters make different metallic sounds while walking, running, and landing, depending on their weight for the most part. All lightweight fighters except {{SSBM|Zelda}}, {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} make a faint "tinging" sound; all middleweight fighters make a standard "clanking" sound; and all heavyweight fighters except {{SSBM|Samus}}, {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSBM|Link}} make a much more noticeable "crunching" sound. Most of the aforementioned exceptional characters make the standard middleweight sound in spite of their weight. Mewtwo doesn't make any sounds, even when landing, and Mr. Game & Watch's footsteps and landing sounds are always electronic beep noises.
In all five games, breaking the Metal Box has the following effects:


When used by [[Rosalina]] in ''[[Smash 4]]'', her [[Luma]] also transforms into metal. When she uses it in ''[[Ultimate]]'' however, her Luma is not affected. When used by [[Olimar]]/[[Alph]], however, his {{b|Pikmin|species}} are not affected. In addition, only one of the [[Ice Climbers]] can use only one Metal Box and can turn into metal. Finally, controllable [[Final Smash]]es in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''Smash 4'' such as [[Giga Bowser]], [[Wario-Man]], [[Mega Lucario]], and [[Giga Mac]] are not affected by breaking Metal Boxes.
*The effects last 12 seconds, but the time limit decreases as the user takes [[damage]], especially from [[Flame|fire]] attacks like [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]].
*The fighter becomes 4.5× (3× in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'') [[Weight|heavier]] than normal. However, weight independent attacks can ignore the weight boost; this includes any attack that has the [[bury]], [[paralyze]], or [[stun]] effects.
*Slightly increases jump force, although usually not by enough to compensate  for the gravity and fall speed increase. However, it does not affect [[gliding]], [[floating]], or [[Yoshi]]'s double jump.
*Doubles a character's [[falling speed]], making [[recoveries]] harder, and more vulnerable to certain [[chain grab]]s. Certain characters with multiple double jumps will not gain any net vertical distance while under the effects of a Metal Box, as they will fall below where they had began the jump before being able to jump again.
*Increases a character's [[gravity]] slightly.
*Reduces [[walking]] and [[dashing]] speed slightly.
*Increases a fighter's [[knockback resistance]] by subtracting the amount of knockback taken from attacks by 30 units. Weak projectiles such as Link's Arrows, and most jabs, will merely deal damage without causing [[flinch]]ing if they don't deal more than 0 units of knockback. However, some attacks can ignore the knockback resistance, which includes any attack that has the bury effect.
*Mutes the character's voices (although, as sound effects are still retained, [[Duck Hunt]], [[Samus]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Villager]], [[Mii Fighter]]s (in ''SSB4''), [[Mega Man]], wireframe [[Little Mac]], [[Pac-Man]], [[Isabelle]], and [[Dark Samus]] are unaffected by this). However, getting knocked beyond the blast line of any stage will make the character scream as usual, except for in ''SSB4''.
*Characters make metal sound effects when hitting a surface upon taking a step. However, the sound more closely resembles that of a thin sheet of metal, suggesting that the character isn't turned into metal, just covered with it.


In ''Melee'', if the Metal Box is broken by disjointed attacks like {{SSBM|Pikachu}}'s forward smash or any attack from a sword-wielding character, they will still transform them into a Metal fighter. Interestingly, [[Ness]]' dash attack is the only disjointed attack that doesn't turn him metal. Also, if the Metal Box is hit by a projectile, it will disappear. Also, fighters can battle Metal Mario and/or [[Metal Luigi]] in [[Adventure Mode]]. In addition, they also fight a random metal character in [[Classic Mode]].
Metal characters fought in Classic Mode remain metal for the entirety of the battle. In ''Melee'', their [[stock]] icon has a distinctly darker, metallic look.


In ''Brawl'', the Metal Box, which now has an original, more realistic, and shinier texture, cannot be broken when hit by projectiles, and the metallic walking sound effect no longer changes depending on the characters' weights, so everyone has the same sound when walking. It also features an effect on the new ability to [[swim]]; while characters will not sink as Metal Mario did in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', they will submerge deeper after falling into the water. This technique is used to reach a secret area in the [[Glacial Peak]] level of the [[Subspace Emissary]]. In Classic Mode, the player must also battle a random metal character.  
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
The Metal Box does not appear in ''SSB'', but [[Metal Mario]] appears as a foe the player must battle in [[1P Game]]. Metal Mario here can take well over 300% damage before being sent flying off-screen.


In ''Smash 4'', the transformation duration can no longer be extended by picking up additional Metal Boxes. In the ''3DS'' version, the metal is translucent rather than opaque, but in the ''Wii U'' version, the metal texture is both opaque and reflective, with the current stage being reflected on the character's body.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
[[File:Metal Box Melee.png|thumb|200px|The Metal Box in ''Melee''.]]


In ''Ultimate'', the Metal Box's effect appears to slowly take over the character rather than immediately, similar to [[Inkling]]'s {{b|ink|status}}.
The Metal Box makes its ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut in ''Melee''. If it is hit by a projectile, it will disappear. Disjointed attacks like Pikachu's forward smash or any attack from a sword-wielding character will still grant the attacker the metal status. Interestingly, [[Ness]]' dash attack is the only disjointed attack that doesn't turn him metal.


The Metal Box cannot appear in [[Golden Plains]].
Metal characters make different metallic sounds while walking, running, and landing, depending on their weight for the most part. All lightweights except {{SSBM|Zelda}}, {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} make a faint "tinging" sound, all middleweights make a standard "clanking" sound, and all heavyweights except {{SSBM|Samus}}, {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, and {{SSBM|Link}} make a much more noticeable "crunching" sound. Most of the aforementioned exceptional characters make the standard middleweight sound in spite of their weight. Mewtwo doesn't make any sounds, even when landing, and Mr. Game & Watch's footsteps and landing sounds are always beeps.


The {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Metal Slash]] ability will [[Instant KO|instantly KO]] any metal characters that it hits, and his [[Kaclang]] ability is able to turn him metal, being the only special move to do so.
Characters can fight Metal Mario and/or [[Metal Luigi]] in [[Adventure Mode]]. In addition, they also fight a random metal character in Classic Mode. The Metal Box also appears as a collectible trophy.


Metal fighters can also be battled in the series' [[Classic Mode]] under the permanent effects of the Metal Box. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the Metal Box does not appear as an item; however, Metal Mario, the opponent of the ninth stage of the [[1P Game]] features the effect of the Metal Box. In ''Melee'' can battle Metal Mario and/or [[Metal Luigi]] in [[Adventure Mode]].

:''First spotted in Super Mario 64, the Metal Box holds the power to turn your character briefly into heavy metal. Your mass is exponentially greater while metallic, making it difficult for others to throw you. Be careful, though: not only will you move a bit slower, but you'll also fall much more quickly than you ordinarily would.
:''Super Mario 64'' 9/96
{{clrl}}


Metal battles appear as a feature in ''Brawl's'' [[Special Brawl]] and in later games onward, where all fighters become metal under the permanent effects of a Metal Box. Also, in ''Ultimate's'' spirit battles, players can battle a puppet fighter that is either entirely made of metal or shifts into metal.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
The Metal Box appears again in ''Brawl'' with the nearly same properties it had in ''Melee'', although it will not break when hit by projectiles. It also has an effect on the new ability to [[swim]]; while characters will not sink as Metal Mario did in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', they will submerge deeper after falling into the water. This technique is used to reach a secret area in the [[Glacial Peak]] level of the [[Subspace Emissary]] mode. In Classic Mode, the player might also fight a random metal character. The walking sound effect no longer changes depending on the characters' weights, so everyone has the same sound when walking.


In all of its appearances, breaking the Metal Box feature the following effects:
A "Metal" option exists in [[Special Brawl]], which gives every player a permanent Metal Box effect. Lastly, the Metal Box appears again as a collectible trophy.


*The effects last 12 seconds, but the time limit decreases as the fighter takes [[damage]], especially from [[Flame|fire]] attacks like [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]].
===Trophy===
*Increases the fighter's [[weight]] (3.0× in ''[[Melee]]''; 4.5× in ''[[Brawl]]'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'') than normal; however, weight independent attacks can ignore the weight boost; this includes any attack that has the [[bury]], [[paralyze]], or [[stun]] effects.
[[File:Metal Box - Brawl Trophy.png|thumb|left|100px|The Metal Box trophy in ''Brawl''.]]
*Increases the fighter's jump force (1.55× in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; 1.35× in ''Smash 4''; 1.2× in ''Ultimate''), although usually not by enough to compensate for the gravity and fall speed increase; however, it does not affect [[gliding]], [[floating]], or [[Yoshi]]'s double jump.
;Metal Box
*Increases the fighter's [[falling speed]] (2.0× in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; 1.7× in ''Smash 4''; 1.4× in ''Ultimate''), making [[recoveries]] harder, and more vulnerable to certain [[chain grab]]s. Certain characters with multiple double jumps will not gain any net vertical distance while under the effects of a Metal Box, as they will fall below where they had began the jump before being able to jump again.
:''A green box that transforms whoever attacks it into metal. In metal form, you're a lot heavier than normal, so middling and even strong attacks don't move you too much, and standard attacks won't even make you flinch.

*Increases the fighter's [[gravity]] slightly (2.0× in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''; 1.7× in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'').
:{{Trophy games|console1=N64|game1=Super Mario 64}}
*Decreases the fighter's [[walking]] speed slightly (0.7× in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4''; 0.8× in ''Ultimate'').
*Increases the fighter's [[knockback resistance]] by subtracting the amount of knockback taken from attacks by 30 units. Weak projectiles such as [[Link]]'s Arrows, and most jabs, will merely deal damage without causing [[flinch]]ing if they don't deal more than 0 units of knockback. However, attacks that have the bury effect, or deal fixed knockback (in ''Ultimate'' only), will ignore the knockback resistance.
*Mutes the character's voices (although, as sound effects are still retained, [[Duck Hunt]], [[Samus]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Villager]], [[Mii Fighter]]s (in ''SSB4''), [[Mega Man]], wireframe [[Little Mac]], [[Pac-Man]], [[Isabelle]], [[Dark Samus]], [[Piranha Plant]] and [[Steve]] are unaffected by this); however, getting knocked beyond the blast line of any stage will make the character scream as usual, except for in ''SSB4''.

The Metal Box returns as an item. Its properties mostly remain the same as in previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. However, its duration can no longer be extended by picking up additional Metal Boxes. In the 3DS version, the metal coating is translucent rather than opaque, but in the Wii U version, the metal texture is both opaque and reflective, with the current stage being reflected on the character's body.
The Metal Box appears as a red trophy item in [[Smash Tour]]. When used, it allows the player's fighter to start a battle in metal form.
 
{{clrl}}
In Classic Mode, the player must also fight a random metal character. The Metal Box is also available as a red item in [[Smash Tour]], giving players the ability to start a battle in metal form. The "Metal" option reappears in [[Special Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. Lastly, the Metal Box appears again as a collectible trophy.

While the Metal Box itself does not have a [[spirit]], several spirits will allow the player to start a battle in metal form.
While the Metal Box itself does not have a Spirit, the ability it grants appears as an ability for the Primary Spirit Octobot King.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the metal effect ignores transparency, meaning that parts that should be transparent become opaque while the effect is active. This is most visible with [[Olimar]] in ''Brawl''; his entire helmet becomes encased with metal. Other examples include [[Donkey Kong]]'s fur and [[Ivysaur]]'s leaves. In ''SSB4'' onwards, transparency is taken into account; Olimar's face becomes metal while his helmet remains untouched.
