The '''Cardboard box''' is an item that appears in all three of [[Solid Snake|Snake]]'s [[taunt]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. By using any of his taunts, Snake crouches under a cardboard box, which he removes after a few seconds, or when a button is pressed. If the box hits an opponent after being removed, it does miminal damage (1%-2%). Any character can pick up the box before Snake removes it; the character lifts the box like a heavy item and automatically throws it forwards (unless another direction is specified). Removing the box does not interrupt the taunt's duration.


The '''cardboard box''' is an [[item]] that is spawned by all of [[Snake]]'s [[taunt]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. By using any of his taunts, Snake crouches under a cardboard box, which he removes either after another input is pressed, or after a set period of time.
While most characters cannot hold onto the box without automatically throwing it, {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}'s unique heavy-item mechanics allow him to carry the box around and throw it at will. Due to the box's extremely weak knockback, a gimmick strategy for team play is to have Snake supply DK with a box in order to [[gimp]] recovering opponents.


==Overview==
[[Cardboard box glitch|A glitch]] exists where a player can generate infinite amounts of boxes at once using the [[Stage Builder]].

The cardboard box can uniquely deal minimal damage (1%-2%) and low knockback if it hits opponents, making Snake one of four characters that can damage opponents with his taunt, alongside [[Luigi]], [[Greninja]], and [[Kazuya]]. Any character can pick up the box before Snake removes it; they will lift the box like a heavy item, but they will automatically throw it when it is picked up. [[Donkey Kong]]'s unique heavy-item mechanics, however, can allow him to carry the box around and throw it at will. Villager and Isabelle can pocket it for later use, and Kirby can also do this if he copies either one of those characters. Unusually, removing the box does not interrupt the taunt's duration.

The cardboard box appears inside the [[Halberd]]'s cargo hold before [[Snake]] is revealed to be in it. In a later cutscene, Snake sheds the box, saying "Kept you waiting, huh?" Later, while Snake is sneaking around the ship, he hides under the box again to avoid detection by {{SSBB|Lucario}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. However, Lucario uses its aura powers to detect Snake and removes the cardboard box, resulting in the trademark "!" appearing.

[[File:CardboardBoxOrigin.jpg|thumb|Solid Snake sneaks up to an enemy with a cardboard box in ''Metal Gear Solid 2''.]]
Snake must often sneak around enemy territory undetected in the Metal Gear series. One way to avoid detection by wandering guards is by hiding inside boxes. Guards rarely realize that infiltrating mercenaries are hidden under somewhat-conspicuous boxes, but Snake must be careful to avoid being spotted crawling while covered.
Snake must often sneak around enemy territory undetected in the ''Metal Gear'' series. One reoccurring way to avoid detection by guards in industrial areas is to hide under a cardboard box in order to not catch their attention, as well as potentially sneak past them or covertly subdue them.  However, Snake must be careful not to be caught moving while under the box. Its first appearance was in ''Metal Gear'' and calling Big Boss while within the room where the player obtains the box leads to him mockingly asking if the player is moving house. Ironically, Big Boss himself had made use of it during ''Snake Eater'', back when he was known as Naked Snake.


The design of boxes in the ''Metal Gear'' series varies depending on their location. As a result, the box in ''Smash'' has no real origin and is instead composed entirely of meta-elements: it has the [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Super Smash Bros.'' logo]] with "Smash Bros" printed on the long sides and a "!" on the short sides.

As a result, the box in Brawl has no real origin and is instead composed entirely of meta-elements: it has the [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] with "Smash Bros." printed on the long sides and a "!" on the short sides. Interestingly, these elements are printed upside-down (so they appear rightside-up as Snake wears the box upside-down).
