Steel Crates[1] are obstacles in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are large crates with steel frames that are stronger than their normal counterparts. They appear only in Rightside Down Galaxy and Upside Dizzy Galaxy. Unlike with normal crates, Mario (or Luigi) cannot destroy a Steel Crate with a spin or Ground Pound; instead, they can be destroyed only by a Fireball from Fire Mario. When a Fireball impacts a Steel Crate, it will disappear, unlike normal crates, where a single Fireball can destroy multiple of them. When a Steel Crate is destroyed, the one above it will fall to the ground. If Mario gets under a Steel Crate while it falls, he will get crushed by it, losing a life. Upon being destroyed, a Steel Crate can reveal a coin, 1-Up Mushroom, or orange Warp Pipe inside it. Steel Crates appear mainly in 2-D areas, blocking the path and requiring the player to destroy them. To complete the secret missions: The Great Crate Incinerator and Burning Upside Dizzy, the player needs to enter bonus rooms where a large group of Steel Crates appears. They must find a orange Warp Pipe by destroying as many Steel Crates as they can to reveal the hidden pipe before the transformation is over.
