BrawlBox is used to open and edit various ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' files. While most well-known for texture and stage hacks, the program's development has blossomed into an armature editor, a model editor and, in future, a moveset editor similar to Project Smash Attacks or Open SA.


===History===
BrawlCrate (formerly known as StageBox) is a tool built off of the program BrawlBox (formerly known as SmashBox) and is used to open and edit various ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' files. While most well-known for texture and stage hacks, the program's development has blossomed into an armature editor, a model editor, and much more.
{{incomplete|It might be a good idea to expand on different updates to give this section some fluff}}
 
BrawlBox was originally created by Kryal in 2009. Sometime after that, BlackJax96 took over development until he discontinued it in 2013. Today, libertyernie and Sammi Husky serve as BrawlBox's development team.
===SmashBox===
On June 28th, 2009, the original version of the program SmashBox – SmashBox v0.50 – was released by the user Kryal. The amount of features included with SmashBox were significantly less than the modern adaptations of the program, being restricted to only viewing & modifying the game’s textures, and viewing the statistics for a minimal amount of data.
 
===BrawlBox===
On September 29th, 2009, when SmashBox was at the version 0.58, the program’s name was changed to BrawlBox. On August 31st, 2011, when BrawlBox reached version 0.64d, development of the program was taken over by the user BlackJax96. By the release of BrawlBox version 0.72, the title of lead programmer was given to the user libertyernie. The final version of BrawlBox – BrawlBox version 0.78 – was released on March 20th, 2017.
 
The final product of BrawlBox introduced many new features that were absent in SmashBox, such as (but not limited to) model viewing & importing, animation viewing & editing, audio editing, stage collision editing, viewing movies, and modifying [[Classic Mode]] / [[All-Star Mode]] / [[Event Match]] data. BrawlBox originally included an integrated moveset editor in version 0.67, but was removed in version 0.68c.
 
===StageBox===
Following the discontinuation of BrawlBox’s production, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' modder soopercool101 (along with other members of the modding community) started to work on the program StageBox, which was built off of the latest version of BrawlBox. On April 8th, 2018, the original version of the program StageBox – StageBox v0.1 Beta – was released. While the functions from BrawlBox were still present, this program was created with the intention to focus more on modifying stages.
 
StageBox provided major improvements to things such as updates to stage collision & stage boundary editing, while also making adjustments to other previously existing BrawlBox tools. It also included support for character and stage expansion codes.
 
===BrawlCrate===
On August 30th, 2018, when StageBox was at the version 0.10, the program’s name was changed to BrawlCrate. The purpose of BrawlCrate resumed the original direction of BrawlBox, and is used to work in many different manners.  
 
BrawlCrate included many enhancements to previous StageBox tools, along with generating new metal / invisible textures for models, support for color expansion, texture file size compressing, and other quality of life edits. A complete changelog for BrawlCrate (which includes the changelogs from the previous iterations of the program) can be found [https://github.com/soopercool101/BrawlCrate/blob/master/BrawlCrate/Changelog.txt here].
