The Cardboard Box trophy The Cardboard Box is one of Solid Snake's taunts in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is notable for being the only taunt Snake can use other than the one in the Shadow Moses Island where he can communicate with Colonel Campbell, Mei Ling or Otacon. When he performs the taunt, he hoists his box over his head and hides inside it. Quickly, he will take off the box and throw it aside. If the box hits an opponent when it is thrown, the opponent will take damage. Other players can also pick up the box while Snake is hiding inside it. The Cardboard Box that Snake uses has the "Smash Bros. Emblem" on it with the text "Smash Bros." on it as well as an exclamation mark. Aside from a taunt, it also makes other various appearances in the game for example, it appears as a trophy in the game. Solid Snake emerging from the Cardboard Box In the Subspace Emissary, the box is first seen after the cutscene where Link and Yoshi chase the Halberd but reach a cliff which stops them. The scene then changes to inside the Halberd, where the box starts moving a bit. However, it isn't until much later that Snake finally comes out of his box and comments that he's been waiting too long. He then travels through the Halberd but he then hides in his box again, trying to hide from Lucario and Meta Knight who just passed by him. Lucario uses the Aura and spots Snake so he takes the box off him and throws it away. The Cardboard Box also appears in the E3 Trailer at the end of the movie. After Colonel calls Snake, Colonel asks him if he's familiar with Smash Bros. Colonel then tells him he has an invitation to join. However, as it turns out, Snake is already in the Battlefield hiding in his box watching his opponents (Link, Mario and Kirby) fight. After a few seconds, he comes out of his box and says "It's show time!" Trophy description Name Image Game Description Cardboard Box Metal Gear Solid 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. GCN Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Trivia Solid Snake can be seen inside of the Cardboard Box trophy. The Cardboard Box deals 1%-2% damage if it hits anyone, meaning all three of Snake's taunts can do damage. The Cardboard Box has the Smash Bros. icon with the words "Smash Bros." printed on the side, as well as the "!" symbol from the Metal Gear franchise on the front and the back, underneath the handles. If the box is picked up by another fighter, it will instantly be thrown, meaning the box can't be carried. However, if Donkey Kong picks up the box, he can carry it around in the same manner as a Barrel or a Crate.
