Crates and Barrels
The crates and barrels have appeared since the first Super Smash Bros. Barrels from all Smash Bros. have had various amounts of different items inside each. You can get the items by throwing the box or crate, beating it up, or pushing it off a higher area to a lower area. Some added features in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is that the basic box style changes for each level, so you can have space boxes in a Star Fox level, or have presents in a Yoshi's Island level. Another added feature in Brawl is that boxes will slide downhill.
