Snake must often sneak around enemy territory undetected in the ''Metal Gear'' series.

One reoccurring way to avoid detection by guards in industrial areas is to hide under a cardboard box in order to not catch their attention, as well as potentially sneak past them or covertly subdue them. However, Snake must be careful not to be caught moving while under the box. Its first appearance was in ''Metal Gear'' and calling Big Boss while within the room where the player obtains the box leads to him mockingly asking if the player is moving house. Ironically, Big Boss himself had made use of it during ''Snake Eater'', back when he was known as Naked Snake. | ||
The design of boxes in the ''Metal Gear'' series varies depending on their location. As a result, the box in ''Brawl'' was given no real origin and is instead composed entirely of meta-elements: it has the [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Super Smash Bros.'' logo]] with "Smash Bros." printed on the long sides and a "!" on the short sides. Interestingly, these elements are printed upside-down (so they appear rightside-up as Snake wears the box upside-down). | The design of boxes in the ''Metal Gear'' series varies depending on their location.
