A '''Crate''' ({{ja|箱|Hako}}, ''Box'') is an [[item]] that has appeared in every game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Crates are containers which can hold various different items or up to three of the same item. Because Crates are very heavy, a character who has picked up a Crate will not be able to jump or attack at all while holding it, and they cannot be picked up in mid-air. After being picked up, a Crate can be thrown in any regular direction (up, forward, backward, or down). Crates are very similar to [[Barrel]]s.

'''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.

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.

|desc=Item holders. You can destroy these to get at the items they contain, but be careful, because they will sometimes explode when broken. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, crates were uniform in design, but this time around, their appearance will change to match the stages. They'll sometimes look futuristic--other times, they'll look like presents with fancy ribbons.

|image=Rolling Crates - Brawl Trophy.png

|desc=Special crates that look like normal ones but have four wheels attached to the undersides. Try to destroy these and they will go rolling along, smashing everyone in their path. When a rolling crate is destroyed, it will reveal the same sorts of items found in normal crates. You can also jump on a rolling crate for a fun ride.

==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.

==Trivia==

*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.

*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>
