{{Infobox Item
The '''Cardboard Box''' is used in all of [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s [[taunt]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The Cardboard box was first introduced in the E3 2006 trailer, whereas Snake was hiding in it. It also has its own [[trophy]]. Before it was confirmed to be a  taunt, it was thought to be his shield or his Down B. The box can be grabbed like an item, ending the taunt. In the Metal Gear games, Snake uses the box on his missions to sneak around without being spotted by guards. The fan community (especially in fanfiction) greatly enjoys making fun of Snake's affinity for the box, portraying him as a hobo or overly protective of his box.

The '''cardboard box''' is an [[item]] that is spawned by all of [[Snake]]'s [[taunt]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. By using any of his taunts, Snake crouches under a cardboard box, which he removes either after another input is pressed, or after a set period of time.
 
==Overview==
[[File:Cardboardbox 1.jpg|thumb|As it appears in ''Brawl''.]]
[[FIle:Cardboardbox_2.jpg|thumb|The cardboard box can be used to damage an opponent.]]
The cardboard box can uniquely deal minimal damage (1%-2%) and low knockback if it hits opponents, making Snake one of four characters that can damage opponents with his taunt, alongside [[Luigi]], [[Greninja]], and [[Kazuya]]. Any character can pick up the box before Snake removes it; they will lift the box like a heavy item, but they will automatically throw it when it is picked up. [[Donkey Kong]]'s unique heavy-item mechanics, however, can allow him to carry the box around and throw it at will, while Villager and Isabelle can pocket it for later use, Kirby can also do this if he copies either one of those characters. Unusually, removing the box does not interrupt the taunt's duration.
 
A [[Cardboard box glitch|glitch]] exists where a player can generate an infinite number of boxes at once using the [[Stage Builder]].

The Cardboard Box appears in [[Halberd|Halberd's]] cargo hold before [[Solid Snake (SSBB)|Snake]] is revealed to be in it. In a later cut scene, Snake sheds the box saying "Kept you waiting, huh?" Later, while he is sneaking around the ship, he hides under the box again to avoid detection by [[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]] and [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]]. However, Lucario uses his Aura to see Snake and removes the Cardboard Box, resulting in the trademark ! to appear.

==Origin==
[[File:CardboardBoxOrigin.jpg|thumb|Solid Snake sneaks up to an enemy with a cardboard box in ''Metal Gear Solid 2''.]]
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 ''Smash'' has 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.

==Trophy Description==
==Trophy==
''A common, run-of-the-mill cardboard box that is somehow very effective at preventing detection by enemies. Hide inside it and enemies will walk on by. But put it somewhere too odd and you'll be discovered. You can move while in the box, but if anyone sees the box moving, you're in trouble. Both Liquid and Solid Snake have a deep affection for cardboard.''
