'''Crates''' (also known as '''Wooden Crates''')<ref>(June 10, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980610064548/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/5-7.html Course 5 - Star 7: Collect 100 Coins].

They mostly appear in these games as obstacles and objects, and occasionally contain items inside.

Crates first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In this game, they appear only in [[airship]] levels. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can stand on them, and they act as a type of [[Semisolid Platform]].

 

Crates reappear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. They once again act as platforms, though they are now impassable from all sides.

Crates, this time looking to be made out of a cork-like material, reappear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are smaller versions of the game's [[Block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s that can be picked up and thrown at an enemy, usually containing [[coin]]s. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they appear to be made of wooden planks and are somewhat less common. If [[Yoshi]] swallows a Crate, he can produce a cube-shaped [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]. A different, specific Crate appears in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] on the bridge of the sunken ship. This specific Crate, known as a [[Slide Box]], is larger and has a darker shade of color, with a picture of a skeleton on the front and back. It slides on the bridge of the sunken ship. Unlike other Crates, the Slide Box cannot be picked up or thrown, as it is indestructible. Being hit by the Slide Box causes the player to lose a slice from their [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. This game also has another Crate called the [[Crazed Crate]], which bounces the player three times before breaking.

Crates also appear on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They can only be destroyed by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing them, which typically reveals a coin. In addition, there is a man in [[Delfino Plaza]] called the [[crate guy]], who has crates stacked in various patterns. If Mario walks into his building, the player can talk to him and is given the option to play a [[minigame]], which involves destroying all the crates in the room in thirty seconds. Doing so successfully reveals to the player a [[Shine Sprite]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====

Crates also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. The wood ones are breakable with [[Ground Pound]]s. They reveal coins, power-ups or even [[Star Coin]]s when destroyed. The metal variant, known as [[Iron Block]]s, are indestructible. There are also crates found in [[Ghost House]]s that can be broken by [[Broozer]]s.

Crates appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they serve as stationary items that can be broken using [[Cappy]]. They first appear in the [[Cap Kingdom]]. Occasionally, a [[Power Moon]] can be found in a crate, causing it to glow.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===

Throughout the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, there are [[Animal Crate]]s where an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] can be obtained.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====

A Crate is an item container featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Like all other containers, the Crate must be broken before the items inside can be used in battle. To break the carrier, the wooden Crate can either be picked up and tossed in the air, or be attacked repeatedly on the ground. Crates can also be thrown at opponents, although it is difficult to hit other fighters, as throwing the container takes a long amount of time. Sometimes, Crates explode under enough stress, damaging all nearby fighters. In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', the Crate holds one to three items, and is also extremely heavy. In fact, only [[Donkey Kong]] can lift up the Crate and walk around with it; all the other fighters can only pick up the container and toss it while they stay still.

===''Wario World''===

Throughout the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, crates appear as obstacles found on tracks. They will break when hit, releasing an item on the ground, but will also slow down any racer that drives into them. They first appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', in [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]] and [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]]; the former course returns in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' while the latter course returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

 

Crates reappear in ''Mario Kart Wii'' in [[Toad's Factory]], where they are carried across the track by [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor]]s.

 

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', they are moved around by a baggage carousel right before the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] in [[Sunshine Airport]] and found at the start of [[Toad Harbor]].

 

In ''Mario Kart Tour'', they are found in a small passage between the {{wp|Tower Bridge}} section and the finish line in [[London Loop]] and give bonus points when destroyed.

 

Crates are uncommon blocks alongside [[stone block]]s and metal panels. Like stone blocks, they can be destroyed by any attack, but unlike them, are affected by gravity.
