Crate.

A Crate is a container item that is exclusively in in both SSB and SSBM and can be picked up and thrown or hit to be opened. While holding a crate, a character's speed is drastically decreased, and they will not be able to jump or attack.

• May store an enemy.
• If thrown and hits an opponent it does 18-22% damage and little knockback.
• If thrown, hits an opponent, and then explodes, it does 49% damage and has a lot of knockback
• Another way to open the crate is to hit it until it reaches the equivalent of 30%.
• DK can pick up a crate and move with it, he can throw it down (more damage) and also left and right, he is the only character who can do this.

Crates return in SSBB, and now look different depending on the stage they're on. A crate on the Yoshi's Island stage will look like a present box, and so forth. Also introduced are crates with wheels on them, called "Sliding Boxes", which will slide down slanted platforms and probably move when hit instead of remaining stationary.
