The barrels and crates of Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Oh the (video game) cliche. They might be a cliche, but Super Smash Bros. Brawl from Nintendo does find a some creative uses for its barrels and crates.

Aside from getting items from inside these wooden boxes, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii adds a new spin to the said containers. They’ll blend in with the environment: for example, in a sci-fi environment, they’ll be shiny and have a cool glow in the dark effect. They’ve also come up with sliding boxes – strategically placed so all you need to do is give them a slight nudge to send your enemies to the bottom of an abyss.

Anyway, as you’re probably thinking up strategies to use with the barrels and crates, you might as well check out the screenshots for some pointers.
