Crate Expectations	comment	The crate is extremely common in video games, even if you rarely see them in real life. Some games have entire warehouse levels filled with these crates. And for a good reason: they're so convenient and multipurpose they are literally building blocks for lots of gameplay elements and even entire genres. Crates may allow players to hide from patrolling Mooks or shelter from enemy fire. Crates can often be broken open to reveal a Power-Up or treasure, though usually only one per crate and much smaller than the crate itself. (It's a mystery why even small objects get a whole crate and surprising that most of the items manage to stay at the center of the crate. It is never explained why the item is always in perfect condition no matter how fragile it is and how violently you smashed open the crate.) Finding money and items in a nearby crate can help defuse the Money Spider problem: players wonder why the giant spider was carrying 31 gold pieces, lacking such amenities as pockets, but are often happy to loot the crate in its lair. Crates are sometimes filled with explosive, blowing up in the face of players conditioned to bash everything breakable with a crowbar. Such crates can be quite helpful, however, if shot while an enemy is standing next to them. Crates are often arrayed to form a Container Maze, or feature in Block Puzzles, where they must be slid or carried into place, to hold switches down or to form a staircase to otherwise inaccessible areas. Wreaking Havok often involves throwing crates around. Crates are easy to render in 3D: six flat sides that can take a flat texture without causing too much comment (their simplicity also makes them one of the first objects 3D modelers-in-training learn to make, if not the first). When standing up, crates are likewise easy to create in 2D graphics: their proportions can be scaled to a predetermined tile size, and hit detection is simple for rectangular objects. This adds to their popularity with game developers since the earliest days of computer gaming. They are generally popular with players, too, who are willing to overlook such things as big crates behind small doors and a general absence of pallets and forklifts. Plus, it gives them something to smack around with their melee weapon besides enemies. A common type of crate in fiction is made of wood that is trimmed on edges and has one (or less commonly-two) diagonal reinforced wooden bars on at least one of its faces. Such type of crate is not very common in real life. In real life, more common type is a wooden crate that is not fully enclosed, having spaces between individual planks. Usually, cardboard or metal is preferred to fully enclose desired object instead. In some games (particularly pirate-themed ones), rectilinear crates are replaced with old-fashioned wooden barrels. The curvature of barrels makes them a bit less space-filling and more amenable to being rolled than being pushed around, but they're just as good for containing items, loading with explosives or tossing at enemies. In short, crates satisfy three of our basic monkey drives: climbing, finding things to eat, and breaking things. They are so widely used that humor website Old Man Murray coined the term "Start-to-Crate", referring to the length of time between starting a game and encountering the first crate or barrel - most games don't rate especially high. Tropes Are Tools: crates have too many gameplay uses to ever die. Outside of video games, films, TV shows and animation also use crates. The Syndicate or La Résistance use crates for their Venturous Smugglers to hide illegal weapons, Black Market goods, and items that Fell Off the Back of a Truck. They also appear in military and science fiction settings where our heroes are on an expedition; any Bleak Border Base, remote Antarctic facility, or desolate planet's base will have crates scattered around. Some crates may hold a mysterious, priceless MacGuffin, and everyone may be searching for that one crate. In action movies, crates are an inexpensive set dressing for the obligatory Abandoned Warehouse chase, fight and shootout sequences. See also Die, Chair, Die!, Inexplicable Treasure Chests, or Rewarding Vandalism.

And they contain ammo and health. Other areas have non-crate storage items with these and a few offer justification when scanned as to why they don't always have items inside. There are also forms of "living crates", which are plants, cocoons, or even balls of premature nightmare monsters, which act exactly the same as crates except for the fact that they're not cubes.

They'll absorb a few rounds before they break (which obviously can be useful during firefights), and in the first game the standard wooden box will occasionally have some goodies inside, but you're more likely to find useful gear in indestructible lockers or boxes. There are also metal boxes that almost always have ammo or healing items inside, but they're more rare. You can't pick up any of them or move them around except by running into them, though.

Many of the series' platforming elements are built around a variety of different types of crates, from the normal crates, to bouncy crates, to time-delayed TNT crates, to Nitro Crates. They're so iconic to the series that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled actually made a crate playable.

As of Half-Life 2, the ones containing stuff have a distinct appearance (and are much smaller), and both kinds (among other items) can also be thrown at enemies with the Gravity Gun, not to mention be used as platforms to float on. Half-Life's copious amounts of crates make sense, considering the game's signature weapon is a crowbar. Which you use to bludgeon the crates open, Gordon being a busy man. Interestingly, Half-Life 2 also features a lot of pallets, but the crates are never actually placed on the pallets - suggesting the designers realize crates and pallets have something to do with each other, but aren't familiar with their exact relationship.

They come in two varieties— disposable wooden crates and stackable metal ones. All small enough for a chipmunk to lift.

You get barrels and bags with items you buy in the expedition planner, or just get barrels for the sake of getting barrels, and part of the game's recursive Inventory Management Puzzle involves the construction of barrels, bins, and bags to organize the endless clutter you will produce. Crates and bins are simply very useful, but barrels are essential for a fortress. Any player who does not take getting barrels seriously is in for a world of Fun. Without enough barrels, no excess food will be stockpiled, and no alcohol can be brewed. A lack of either can literally mean the death of your fortress. The player can save on the wood that would be needed to make barrels by making stone pots (which can also contain food and booze) instead. After all, if you're in a biome with few trees, you'll need the wood to make beds, as your dwarves apparently can't make beds from anything else.

The crates got a sci-fi redesign in Tiberian Sun and are also seen in Tiberium Wars; they also made it possible to select a crate and tell what it would give you. However, Red Alert 3 not only reverted the design to a more classic look, it also made it easy to tell what type of crate it was at a simple glance, and made it so you had to specifically order a unit to grab a crate.

Crate Expectations / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: This series mostly splits the crate trope into two parts. Breakable spheroid pots containing health, money, or ammo are ubiquitious in almost every game; dungeons often contain cubical objects for Block Puzzles, which are usually made of unbreakable stone. But there are a few straight examples. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one crate in Kakariko contains a Cucco. And then there's the boxes inside Lord Jabu Jabu (the giant whale-god of the Zoras) that you can break open to get hearts and other items. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker notably contains crates (with Triforce logos) in the Tower of the Gods, one of the game's dungeons. It makes you wonder if the Hyrulean gods are really the executives of a shipping company. Link comes across randomly located crates in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which he can destroy with his sword (or, if you're a wolf, your claws) to reveal hearts and Rupees. These crates are found all over the place; there are even crates, for no discernible in-game reason, on small islands in the middle of Lake Hylia. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has them scattered throughout the enormous overworld. While usually found next to enemy camps, they're also occasionally inside ruins or near NPCs, and are a good source of arrows and apples. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, crates are also found throughout the overworld, as well as the depths and sky islands. Like many other objects, they can be freely manipulated for different purposes by Link using the new abilities: Ultrahand, Fuse, Recall, etc.

The wooden ones that appear in the airship levels of New Super Mario Bros. Wii and U can be broken with a Ground Pound, and have coins and poweups within. Super Mario Sunshine has a fair few crates. They can be broken with a ground pound. Two of the game's 120 Shines require the player to break an arrangement of crates within a time limit (and both Shines are acquired through the exact same minigame, but in the second play there are more and have a more difficult arrangement as well). Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: There are crates in several levels, which can be broken up with spin attacks or fireballs (via Fire Mario). In the second game, there are two minigames in which Mario and Luigi use fireballs to break crates under a time limit. Crates appear in Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World, and are easily breakable. This extends to their inclusion in the 3D World game style of Super Mario Maker 2 (which, in turn, also has an unlockable powerup that allows Mario and his friends to create their own wooden boxes). Super Mario Odyssey uses wooden crates to hide coins, small hideouts, and on rare occasions Power Moons. Fortunately, Cappy can be thrown to break them.

Crate Expectations / int_9a8bf274	comment	Crates are a mainstay in Command & Conquer, although they aren't very common. When moving a unit over it, the owner receives money or bonus units, or other effects such as improving the units speed, defense or level (after Tiberian Sun). However, there is also a chance for them to explode. The crates got a sci-fi redesign in Tiberian Sun and are also seen in Tiberium Wars; they also made it possible to select a crate and tell what it would give you. However, Red Alert 3 not only reverted the design to a more classic look, it also made it easy to tell what type of crate it was at a simple glance, and made it so you had to specifically order a unit to grab a crate. Command & Conquer: Generals does not have these "powerup" crates, but the main resource of the game were crates. The game never details what's in those crates, the content directly translates into money. It also had crates that had U.N. stamped on them that represented foreign aid supplies that gave you a nice cash boost. One of the funner GLA missions had you attacking towns being supplied by U.N. convoys to reach a certain amount of money; you're specifically told to kill the people and destroy their houses to get the supplies hidden there. The GLA also adhere more to this trope than expected: destroyed enemy vehicles leave crates behind, which can be looted to upgrade your own vehicles with better weapons. This mechanic was then applied to more units in the Expansion Pack Zero Hour.

Crate Expectations / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The series in general typically averts the standard format of this trope in several ways. Crates are never breakable or mobile, they typically only store realistic amounts of stuff, and you can put things into them as well as take them out. They're also not usually very useful for platforming. That said, they are still visually presented as the classic "sealed packing crate", perhaps so players recognise them on sight. In Morrowind, crates, barrels, urns, and all sorts of other containers are found throughout the game. They can contain anything from low-end Shop Fodder to consumables to items of real value and weapons and armor. Unlike most examples, they aren't breakable, cannot be moved, and are rarely used as climbing platforms. In fact, the game doesn't give you time to orient yourself before you see your first crate; you wake up in a ship's cargo hold. The game also But Thou Musts you into interacting with a barrel just a few minutes later during character creation. The Market District of Oblivion's Imperial City is packed with crates. Skyrim: Every building seems to have a basement filled to the brim with crates and barrels full of vegetables. Inverted during a certain Thieves' Guild quest, when you get to kill someone by placing poisoned fruit in a barrel. There is a mod that allows you to assemble simple chests, ornate chests, drawers, closets, barrels, safes... And crates. While all of these allow you to store items, crates can be stacked and then used as makeshift stairways.

Crate Expectations / int_9ef055f4	comment	All of the games in the Ratchet & Clank series had dozens of crates that were usually there to be broken for bolts. The game also featured red exploding crates, that counted down when Ratchet so much as touched them, ammo crates that were full of ammo, Nanotech crates that contained health, and metal crates, which could only be broken by explosives (or the Walloper). The third game introduced the multiplier crate, which for a short while doubled the amount of bolts Ratchet got from other crates, enemies, and the environment in general, and the Inferno crate, which turned Ratchet into an unstoppable dual-wrench-wielding engine of destruction. In Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, there's the camo crate, which was almost invisible, and had more bolts than average crates. It should be noted that crates went through a huge graphical update during the transfer to HD, especially the rubble they leave around, so this is hardly due to laziness on the part of the graphic developers. This trope is given a huge lampshading in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, when the main characters come across a crate factory in their travels. As the Mission Control says, "They have to come from somewhere!"

Made even funnier when objects such as robots and ancient stone towers can be taken down with a simple wooden crate. Even Sonic Adventure had some.

In the second game, there are two minigames in which Mario and Luigi use fireballs to break crates under a time limit.

They can give weapons, tools or health, and explode if you shoot them.

This particular Valve hero didn't get a crowbar, so we don't know what what was in them - except that one of them was probably full of love for you. The sequel's cooperative play ups the ante with the "Aperture Science Edgeless Safety Cube", which the untrained observer might mistake for a sphere.

Crate Expectations / int_f6a54e75	comment	The various Kingdom Hearts games contain crates, of the jump-upon and break-for-lootz varieties. The level that gives the strongest Fridge Logic is Monstro, set inside the giant whale himself. Monstro has intact crates strewn through all of his major organs. Having intact ones in his stomach is even a stretch. Kingdom Hearts coded and Re:Coded are particular examples in that pretty much everything breakable is a crate. Some bosses even require crate breakage to be beaten. Oddly, the wooden crates blocking paths in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]'s version of Traverse Town can't be broken by attacking them in a conventional fashion, instead having to launch something at them with a reality shift. There are also a lot of wooden barrels in Olympus Coliseum. Breaking them is part of a timed obstacle course, and you also have to throw them at Hercules when you're fighting him.

The default MacGuffin when on a "find X" mission is a glowing crate most of the time, at least at the lower levels. Unlike their counterparts in many other games, though, COH crates are invulnerable to all damage and superglued to the floor. City of Heroes used to give several Cosmetic Awards depending on the number of times a character clicked on or destroyed a glowing crate (or barrel, or computer, etc) in its Mission Architect. As of issue 15, this was downgraded to giving one badge per type of action (clicking/destroying).
