In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the three colored ! Blocks are reduced to one red [[? Block]], which is simply referred to as such. Red blocks contain either [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]s, which give different abilities depending on which character obtains them, or [[Wing Cap|Wings]] in certain levels for Mario. If anyone other than [[Yoshi]] hits a red block without his cap, however, a [[Bob-omb]] will come out instead.

Every game in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that features [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] has one of the Metal Boxes. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the trophy erroneously states the Metal Box appears in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', which replaced the colored caps with multiple characters, their Power Flowers all being found in red blocks.

The time you spend in metal form decreases with the damage you take. In Super Mario 64, the weight of the metal form allowed you to walk underwater.

|desc2=Whack this box to turn into a metal you! You won't flinch when attacked - even in mid-air - and you'll be harder to launch. Now, the downsides: you'll move slower, fall faster, and recovering when you fall off a stage will be a nightmare. Also, it's only temporary, or lasts until you've taken a certain amount of damage.
