The Metal Box originated from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' as [[mariowiki:! Block|Green Blocks]] that materialize after Mario activates a [[mariowiki:! Switch|Green "!" Switch]]. Once Mario destroys it by jumping from beneath, it releases a {{s|mariowiki|Metal Cap}} that, after grabbing it, encases him in metal. He becomes more powerful, immune to all damage, and can walk underwater, but at the same time, becomes much more heavier, sluggish, and unable to swim. These effects are similar the Metal Box's effects in ''Super Smash Bros.'' except that Mario's voice is not suppressed, unless he is submerged underwater.
The {{s|mariowiki|Metal Box}} originates from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' as a green {{s|mariowiki|! Block}} that materializes after Mario activates its corresponding green [[mariowiki:! Switch|Cap Switch]] at the {{s|mariowiki|Cavern of the Metal Cap}}. Upon being destroyed, it releases a {{s|mariowiki|Metal Cap}} that, after grabbing it, encases him in metal. He becomes more powerful, immune to all damage, and can walk underwater, but at the same time, becomes much more heavier, sluggish, and unable to swim. These effects are similar the Metal Box's effects in ''Super Smash Bros.'' except that Mario's voice is not suppressed, unless he is submerged underwater.


Although the Metal Boxes do not appear in the Nintendo DS remake of the game, ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the newly introduced Power Flower power-up turns [[Wario]] metal and has the same effects as the Metal Box. In spite of this, the {{forwiiu}} trophy lists one of the box's appearances as ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
All green, red, and blue ! Blocks are replaced by red {{s|mariowiki|? Block}}s in the Nintendo DS remake of the game, ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}''. After activating them with the red {{s|mariowiki|! Switch}} at the [[mariowiki:Tower of the Wing Cap|Rainbow Tower]], they can be broken to release the [[mariowiki:Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]], which has different effects on each of the game's four playable characters. This power-up exhibits the same effects as the Metal Cap when picked up by [[Wario]].{{clr}}

*In ''Brawl'', turning [[Olimar]] metal encases his whole helmet with metal. However, in ''SSB4'', his face is metalized while his helmet remains untouched.

*In {{forwiiu}}, while the metal texture reflects the actual stage, it does not reflect it in real-time, instead reflecting a screenshot of the stage. For example, the metal texture will only show a reflection of the [[Boxing Ring]]'s ''Smash Bros.'' variant, as opposed to the default ''Punch-Out!!'' theme.
