'''Exploding Crates''' are "dud" Crates that do not contain items and explode when destroyed, delivering strong damage and knockback to players caught in the explosion, even to the player who threw the crate. In all five games, every crate has a one in eight chance of being an exploding crate.

Rolling Crates are a type of Crate that first appeared in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. These Crates are identified by their tiny, black wheels on the bottom, and can oftentimes go unnoticed. They also always spawn at the same angle, unlike normal crates. If a player hits this Crate without destroying it, it will start sliding in the direction it was hit. Characters hit by the Rolling Crate will take damage and knockback depending on the speed of the Crate, and the Crate normally breaks. Characters can stand on them, even when in motion.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==

In the original game, a character who has picked up a crate will not be able to move at all (in addition to being unable to jump or attack). However, {{SSB|Donkey Kong}} exclusively has a special ability allowing him to move and jump freely while holding a Crate.

In this game, Crates have a small random chance of containing an enemy from [[Adventure Mode]], such as a [[ReDead]], [[Goomba]], or an [[Octorok]]. When they are thrown at opponents, they can deal 18%-22% damage and have a decent amount of knockback.<!-- Uh, does this sentence apply to the Crates or the enemies? -->

 

Crates, along with [[Barrel]]s, can now have a different appearance depending on the stage played on. On futuristic stages such as [[Lylat Cruise]], they take on a futuristic appearance. On more fantasy-based stages such as [[Yoshi's Island (SSBB)|Yoshi's Island]], the crates will look like wrapped-up presents.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/item03.html |title=Crates and Barrels |date=2007-06-14 |accessdate=2007-11-09 |work=[[Smash Bros.

|name=Crates

|desc-ntsc=Throw or attack this crate to bust it open and get the goodies hidden inside. The crate may look different based on the stage you're battling on, but the items inside won't change. Sometimes these things can explode, however, so it's best to be very crateful around them...

|desc-pal=Just throw or attack crates to get at the goodies inside! Their appearance changes depending on the stage, so maybe you'll get a wooden crate, or...maybe you won't. That doesn't change how it is on the inside, though, which is a good life lesson. Also, it may just explode if you attack it – another important life lesson from us to you.

 

|name=Rolling Crates

|desc-3ds-ntsc=A normal-looking box, this one actually has wheels on the bottom. Just give the box a little nudge—its own weight will turn it into a rolling weapon. It's possible to ride on top of it, but you certainly aren't traveling in style. Be sure to stop the box or jump off before it hits something!

|desc-wiiu-ntsc=These normal-looking boxes actually have wheels on the bottom. Just give one a little nudge, and its own weight will turn it into a rolling weapon. It's possible to ride on top of it, but you certainly won't be traveling in style. Be sure to jump off of the box before you roll off of the edge of the stage!

|desc-pal=These boxes look perfectly normal until you notice the wheels underneath. Or until you put one on a slope and watch it roll away! You can attack a rolling crate for the items inside, or send it hurtling towards your enemies. You can even jump on top and go for a ride – just make sure you get off again before you hit something!

 

Crates and Rolling Crates return in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', using their designs from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

==Origin==

The {{iw|wikipedia|crate}} is a common real world item, which the ''Smash'' version is directly based off. Usually made of wood or metal, the crate is primarily used as a shipping container for particularly large objects that could easily be damaged outside of an enclosed space.

*In {{forwiiu}} in update 1.1.0, rarely when a crate is broken, certain items will briefly float in mid-air before falling on the ground.

*In ''Brawl'' and both versions of ''SSB4'', it is possible for a fighter to momentarily perform their "crate pick-up" animation without actually picking the crate up. This only seems to happen if they are a slight distance away or in front of the actual crate.

*On the image for [[Milestones]] in {{forwiiu}}, blue and green present crates are shown, despite only red presents being usable.

*In both versions of ''SSB4'', if a character gets grabbed when turning around while carrying a crate or another heavy item, they will face the background instead of the screen. This is known as the '''Backwards Glitch''' and it was first found by DeadDraco[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2QgO_8xOWg]. This only works with playable characters whose positions get mirrored when turning around, so they can face the screen regardless of whether they're facing right or left.

**The characters who can perform this glitch are: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Wario, Kirby, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Greninja, Duck Hunt, R.O.B., Dr. Mario, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Sonic, Mii Brawler, Mewtwo and Ryu.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRGVHrJWb_E] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9E60pvw8n4]

*A destroyed crate shares its animation with the [[Barrel]], showing a large smash symbol, even though it's small on the [[Barrel]]. <ref> [https://youtu.be/wzVT7w9JB04 Can Guile MISINPUT Flash Kick? -- Random Smash Ultimate Facts] </ref>
