The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

The cardboard box can be used to damage an opponent.

The Cardboard box is an item that appears in all three of Snake's taunts in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and it was first introduced in the E3 2006 trailer, with Snake hiding in it. It also has its own trophy. The box can be grabbed like an item, ending the taunt. In the Metal Gear games, Snake uses the box on his missions to sneak around without being spotted by guards.

In taunts

All three taunts involve Snake crouching under, then lifting the cardboard box off his body. The box Snake uses in Brawl has a Smash Ball icon with the words "Smash Bros" printed by the side and the infamous "!" from the metal gear franchise on the front and the back underneath the handles. Unlike in most of the MGS series, it has no bottom flaps. The Cardboard Box deals 1%-2% damage if it hits anyone - all three of Snake's taunts can damage. The only other damaging taunt in the game is Luigi's. If the box is picked up by another player, it will instantly be thrown in the direction that was held, much like performing a grab on most enemies in the Subspace Army. The box cannot be carried by any character except Donkey Kong. Contrary to his games, Snake can still be detected by the searchlight on the Shadow Moses Island stage while in his box.


The fan community greatly enjoys making fun of Snake's affinity for the box.

Role in Subspace Emissary

The Cardboard Box appears in Halberd's cargo hold before 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 and Meta Knight. However, Lucario uses his Aura to see Snake and removes the Cardboard Box, resulting in the trademark ! to appear.

Trophy

Solid Snake can be seen inside of the Cardboard Box trophy.

Description: 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.

First Game: Metal Gear, 1987
