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.

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

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

Snake must often sneak around enemy territory undetected in the Metal Gear series. One way to avoid detection by guards in industrial areas is to hide under a cardboard box in order to not alert their attention.  However, Snake must be careful not to be caught moving while under the box. Its first appearence 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 Naked Snake.

The design of boxes in the Metal Gear series varies depending on their location. 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).

''A common, run-of-the-mill cardboard box that is somehow very effective at preventing detection by enemies. Hide inside it and enemies will walk on by. But put it somewhere too odd and you'll be discovered. You can move while in the box, but if anyone sees the box moving, you're in trouble. Both Liquid and Solid Snake have a deep affection for cardboard.''
