AContainer refers to any number of breakable objects in theKirby series which may yield items when destroyed. Containers typically take the form ofBarrels orCrates. These objects are typically made of wood, and can be busted open using any number of strikes, including anyCopy Ability attack, aStar Bullet,Air Bullet,Water Gun,Slide, etc, usually being broken in a single hit. Containers can also be stood upon and will fall if the supporting ground beneath is removed, though they cannot harmKirby or any other playable characters when falling, instead merely pushing them out of the way.

While typically containers only appear as crates or barrels, their color scheme and decorations can vary based on the themes of the stages they are found in. Containers can also be used to hide other objects, such asDoors, or to merely act as a hindrance to Kirby and his friends.

InKirby Air Ride[edit]

Boxes serve a special role in theCity Trial game-mode ofKirby Air Ride. They come in three different colors, which determines what kind of items will appear inside. Boxes can be broken by ramming into them, performing aQuick Spin while touching them, or hitting them with aCopy Ability or other weapon. Most boxes will vanish if left alone for too long - blinking out of existence to warn racers when this is about to happen - but this can be stopped momentarily by damaging the box.

The following are three lists of items that can be found in City Trial boxes:

Found in Blue Boxes[edit]

Items found in Blue Boxes
Picture	Name	Description
	Food	Replenishes a small amount of the machine's HP. Some food items heal slightly more than others.
	Energy Drink	Replenishes some of the machine's HP.
	Maxim Tomato	Replenishes all of the machine's HP.
	Boost Patch	Increases the machine's boosting power after a charge-up and prevents sliding during a charge. Also increases acceleration (The Japanese term for the Boost stat is actually カソクacceleration).
	Top Speed Patch	Increases the machine's top speed. May be a detriment if too many are collected.
	Turn Patch	Increases the machine's handling. May be a detriment if too many are collected.
	Charge Patch	Increases the machine's charging rate, allowing it to build up boost power faster.
	Glide Patch	Increases the machine's gliding capabilities. Increases the jump height of machines which cannot glide. The more Glide points the machine has, the more damage it takes, and vice versa.[1]
	Weight Patch	Increases the machine's weight, preventing the machine from levitating upwards. Also helps the machine fare better during collisions and slightly improves speed. The more Weight points the machine has, the less damage it takes, and vice versa.[1]
	Offense Patch	Increases the machine's offensive capabilities, which includes collision damage,Quick Spin, and damage output of items and abilities.
	Defense Patch	Increases the machine's defensive capabilities, reducing all forms of damage taken.
	HP Patch	Increases the machine's HP level. There is no fake, or gray, version of this Patch. Any HP Patches found in blue boxes is just one Patch instead of 2 or more, unless an event occurs.
	All Up Patch	Increases all the machine's abilities by 1 point. This rare Patch is usually found in events such as the UFO, or very rarely in blue boxes, or simply appearing. There are no fake or gray versions of this Patch. This patch cycles through all the colors of the other patches, rather than having any one specific color. These Patches appear normally (by appearing or being found in blue boxes) more often when the player playsStadium:VS. King Dedede, but they are still rare.

Found in Red Boxes[edit]

Items found in Red Boxes
Picture	Name	Description
	Bomb Panel	A bomb appears in Kirby's hands. The longer the player holds A, the farther Kirby throws it. The explosion does small damage but covers a large radius that slowly increases in size until it disappears.
	Fire Panel	This ability allows Kirby to toss fire balls that stay on the ground. It damages any opponent that drives over the flames. The Fire ability also makes Kirby's body damaging to touch.
	Freeze Panel	When Kirby obtains this ability, he is able to create a surrounding, short-ranged projectile of Ice that protects himself and freezes other enemies that touch it.
	Mike Panel	The Mike ability gets activated automatically when Kirby obtains it. Kirby sings and does slight damage to anyone over a huge range.
	Needle Panel	Not too different from the Freezing ability, the Needle ability allows Kirby to extend Needles that protect him and damage any opponent near the spikes. It can also damage when Kirby simply touches opponents without activating the ability.
	Plasma Panel	Very much like inKirby Super Star, Kirby can charge up his energy levels when the player wiggles the control stick back and forth. This ability's duration depends on how much the player uses it and how much power it uses up. Level 1: Kirby punches several small beams Level 2: Kirby punches more small beams Level 3: Kirby shoots out three, straight moving sparks Level 4: Kirby shoots out a single, homing spark Level 5: Kirby kicks a huge, homing ball of electricity
	Sleep Panel	The Sleep ability causes Kirby to sleep, which makes him lose control of his vehicle and makes other opponents fall asleep if they touch him. He can be woken up quicker if the player wiggles the control stick back and forth.
	Sword Panel	The Sword ability lets Kirby automatically swing his sword at any nearby opponents.
	Tornado Panel	The Tornado ability grants Kirby a powered-upQuick Spin that can be performed in midair. When Kirby first gets this ability, any nearby opponent gets affected by the start-up attack.
	Wheel Panel	This copy ability turns Kirby into a wheel. It is quite fast, touches the ground by default (so it automatically activates anyswitches on the ground), and damages any opponents that touch it.
	Wing Panel	When Kirby gets the Wing ability, he temporarily loses his vehicle and flies using the ability. His Quick Spin is slightly different than the regular Quick Spin; it sends opponents flying in the air. Opponents cannot draft him, but he cannot draft opponents either when he has this ability.
	Dragoon Parts	These are parts for the legendary Air Ride machine, theDragoon. The red boxes holding these parts may be found in sections of the map where boxes are not normally found. Boxes containing these parts will also not vanish and will not be affected by the 'Same Items' event.
	Hydra Parts	These are parts for the legendary Air Ride machine, theHydra. The red boxes holding these parts may be found in sections of the map where boxes are not normally found. Boxes containing these parts will also not vanish and will not be affected by the 'Same Items' event.

Found in Green Boxes[edit]

Items found in Green Boxes
Picture	Name	Description
	Gold Spike	Kirby receives threeGordos to throw when he grabs this item. When thrown, the Gordos grow to huge sizes. These Gordos inflict heavy damage to machines if any machines collide with them. If the Gordo is dropped, such as when Kirby is attacked, Kirby cannot throw any more Gordos, and the dropped Gordo remains small.
	Sensor Bomb	Kirby can set this bomb in a spot. After it has set, the bomb shows its location by flashing rings that disappear eventually, concealing the location afterward. If a Kirby (on foot or on a machine) happens to be on this spot, the bomb suddenly explodes, damaging that Kirby or the machine. After a set amount of time, the bomb automatically detonates.
	Panic Spin	When Kirby receives this, his machine automatically and continuously quick-spins for a set amount of time. This can be stopped prematurely if Kirby is attacked.
	Fireworks	This items allows Kirby to automatically shoot fireworks out of a cone-like cannon for a set amount of time. If Kirby is attacked, he stops using this item.
	No Charge	Temporarily removes the machine's charge and slows the machine. If Kirby is riding aBulk Star or aHydra when he receives this, the machine does not move.
	Speed Down	Temporarily slows the vehicle.
	Attack Up	Temporarily boosts the machine's offensive capabilities. This can be stacked with Defense Up and Speed Up.
	Defense Up	Temporarily boosts the machine's defensive and speed capabilities. This can be stacked with Attack Up and Speed Up.
	Speed Up	Temporarily boosts the machine's top speed. This can be stacked with Attack Up and Defense Up.
	Super Charge	Temporarily makes the player's machine engine go into overdrive. Boosts the machine at very high speeds, and is basically uncontrollable. Players riding on the legendaryHydra, however, must recharge after the duration ends.
	Invincible Candy	Grants a machine temporary invincibility.
