Barrel

Barrels are a container item that appear in every Super Smash Bros. game. They are similar to Crates but have the ability to roll along inclines. When thrown onto the ground or another fighter, one to four items are released from the barrel. Like other container items, barrels may explode upon hitting the ground.

Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are two other types of barrels — metallic and green present wrap — although they are no different in function. Barrels' design depends on the stage in which they appear; for instance, Present Barrels appear in the Yoshi's Island stage.

A trophy of all three types of barrels appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In the latter game, the trophy can only be obtained in Trophy Rush mode.
