Today's dose of SSBB goodness from the official site tells us about crates and barrels.
When you break these things open, a number of items can fly out. As seen below though, barrels and crates don't always look their wooden selves. Depending on the stage they can change in appearance to suit the surroundings.

Crate and barrel of the future!

Never look a gift crate in the mouth.

Crate today...

Gone tomorrow.

That's awesome. I read the site and I'm not 100% sure, but the crates have different looks for certain maps, there are also item crates, and crates that slide around without items?
Wii Freak said:
It could actually change.

Awesome! I wonder if you can slide on the present and metal crate too. If you look closely, you can see that the wooden one has wheels.

Yes! I was getting so tired of the normal crates.

It looks like they have upgraded the physics engine since the crate is sliding down the incline. Nice touch with the crates and barrels. Maybe the Metroid stage will have Ing pods as crates and barrels or even the confetti ball!
Chaos said:
The themed crates and barrels are an awesome new addition. The thought of the carnage a crate with wheels could cause makes me laugh out loud.

That's a pretty cool way of doing that. The map on the bottomlooks amazing.

You can't have a REAL video game without crates and/or barrels.

The rolling crates look annoying.

A pikachu is over the crate! That's a big advance. I was prying into this game, but the different crates is a total surprise, better than before! Dismissed.
B Darius said:
Yo, that is so cool! I can't wait to see what they'll look like for all the other stages.
Want said:
More wanting! Maybe Zelda levels should have vases.

I bet anything that the 3rd and 4th screenshots will be Hyrule Temple.

That's awesome! It looks like they are improving on the little details.
Sonic Fan said:
Cool. Some of the crates look like christmas presents.

This just proves that Nintendo can be detailed not just Microsoft and SONY.

I don't know why, but this was the most interesting to me. Running pikachu over with a box = priceless.

Ahah, nice crates. Dr Freeman- you're doin' it wrong!
