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 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.

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}}
