Cubes are transparent containers that appear in the Subspace Emissary. There are two varieties of these cubes, both of which are opened when attacked to release items. Cubes can be stood on until broken, which may help in rooms where there are falling platforms.
Turquoise cubes
Turquoise cubes are light in color and appear every time the player enters an area. They may contain items, collectibles, healing items, or Stock Balls. This cube will contain the same variety of items each time, but the specific item(s) inside may vary. For example, a turquoise cube may always release shooting items. When it contains healing items, it may have multiple varieties of food (like a Party Ball), two Maxim Tomatoes, or two Heart Containers. The quality of the item(s) depends on the difficulty level, stickers attached to the character, and whether continues have been used while playing.
Orange cubes
An orange cubes appears on a level only until the player breaks it the first time. They only contain collectibles, as to increase the Clear %. They typically are tucked away in hidden rooms or alcoves. If there are still orange cubes inside of a stage after it has been cleared, a flag will appear on the level in the world map. For an orange cube to count, it not only has to be broken, but the contents must be collected.
