Much like in ''Super Mario 64'', this item causes characters to become coated in metal for a short period of time. Unlike in ''Super Mario 64'', they have to simply grab the box to become metal, as opposed to [[jump]]ing under it and causing the Metal Cap to emerge from it.

Getting hit will cause the duration of the power-up to shorten. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' characters/forms [[Giga Bowser]], [[Wario-Man]], [[Mega Evolution (Lucario)|Mega Lucario]], and [[Giga Mac]] are completely unaffected by Metal Boxes. Also, when a character becomes metal, their voice, for unknown reasons, is removed. | ||
