A crate, as they appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

A Crate is an item that has appeared in the entire Super Smash Bros. series.

Overview

Crates are containers which can hold various different items. When you pick up a Crate, because they are so heavy, you will not be able to jump, attack, and you will move very slowly while holding it. After you have picked up a Crate, you can throw it up, forward, or down. Interestingly, Donkey Kong can move much faster than the rest of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee when he his holding a Crate.

Also in Melee, crates may contain an enemy, such as a ReDead or an Octorok. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18 to 22% damage and good knockback.

Crates are very similar to Barrels.

Exploding Crates

Exploding Crates are crates that explode when destroyed and do not contain items. These crates appear in all three games. One out of eight crates are exploding crates. Exploding crates deal around 49% damage strong knockback.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Rolling Crate in action.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Crates, along with barrels, will have a different appearance depending on what stage you are playing on. For example, on a space stage, futuristic appearance, and on Yoshi's Island, they look like wrapped up presents. Players can also stand on top of Rolling Crates in Brawl.

Trophy Description

Item holders. You can destroy these to get at the items they contain, but be careful, because they will sometimes explode when broken. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, crates were uniform in design, but this time around, their appearance will change to match the stages. They'll sometimes look futuristic-- other times, they'll look like presents with fancy ribbons.

Rolling Crates

Rolling Crates are a new type of crate that appears in Brawl. These crates are identified by their tiny black wheels on the bottom. If a player hits this crate it will start sliding in the direction it was hit. Characters hit by the sliding box will take damage. Since characters can stand on top of them, players can take a ride on a Rolling Crate if its hit.

Trophy Description

Special crates that look like normal ones but have four wheels attached to the undersides. Try to destroy these and they will go rolling along, smashing everyone in their path. When a rolling crate is destroyed, it will reveal the same sorts of items found in normal crates. You can also jump on a rolling crate for a fun ride.
