A '''Container''' refers to any number of breakable objects in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series which may yield items when destroyed. Containers typically take the form of '''Barrels''' or '''Crates'''. These objects are typically made of wood, and can be busted open using any number of strikes, including any [[Copy Ability]] attack, a [[Star 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 harm [[Kirby]] 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 as [[Door]]s, or to merely act as a hindrance to Kirby and his friends.

==In ''Kirby Air Ride''==
Boxes serve a special role in the [[City Trial]] game-mode of ''[[Kirby 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 a [[Quick Spin]] while touching them, or hitting them with a [[Copy 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===

===Found in Red Boxes===

!colspan=3|Items found in Red Boxes &nbsp;
|-

!Description
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BombPanel.png|25px]]
|[[Bomb]] Panel
|A bomb appears in Kirby's hands. The farther 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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:FirePanel.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:FreezePanel.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:MikePanel.png|25px]]
|[[Mike]] Panel
|The Mike ability gets activated automatically when Kirby obtains it. Kirby sings and does slight damage to anyone over a huge range.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:NeedlePanel.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:PlasmaPanel.png|25px]]
|[[Plasma]] Panel
|Very much like in ''[[Kirby 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
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SleepPanel.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SwordPanel.png|25px]]
|[[Sword]] Panel
|The Sword ability lets Kirby automatically swing his sword at any nearby opponents.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:TornadoPanel.png|25px]]
|[[Tornado]] Panel
|The Tornado ability grants Kirby a powered-up [[Quick Spin]] that can be performed in midair. When Kirby first gets this ability, any nearby opponent gets affected by the start-up attack.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:WheelPanel.png|25px]]
|[[Wheel]] Panel
|This copy ability turns Kirby into a wheel. It is quite fast, touches the ground by default (so it automatically activates any [[switch]]es on the ground), and damages any opponents that touch it.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:WingPanel.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
|align="center"|[[File:DragoonPart 1.png|25px]]<br>[[File:DragoonPart 2.png|25px]]<br>[[File:DragoonPart 3.png|25px]]
|[[Dragoon]] Parts
|These are parts for the legendary Air Ride machine, the [[Dragoon]]. 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.
|-
|align="center"|[[File:HydraPart Left.png|25px]]<br>[[File:HyrdaPart Center.png|25px]]<br>[[File:HydraPart Right.png|25px]]
|[[Hydra]] Parts
|These are parts for the legendary Air Ride machine, the [[Hydra]]. 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.

|[[Gordo Ball|Gold Spike]]
|Kirby receives three [[Gordo]]s 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.
|-
|align="center"|[[File:SensorBomb KAR.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
|align="center"|[[File:PanicSpin KAR.png|25px]]
|[[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.
|-
|align="center"|[[File:FireWorks KAR.png|25px]]
|[[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.

|[[Speed Down]]
|Temporarily slows the vehicle. 
|-
|align=center|[[File:AttackUpKAR.png|25px]]

|align=center|[[File:DefenseupKAR.png|25px]]
|[[Patch|Mach Guard]]

|-
|align=center|[[File:KAR Speed-Up Patch.png|25px]]

|-
|align=center|[[File:BatteryChargeKAR.png|25px]]
|[[Rowdy Charge Tank]]
|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 legendary [[Hydra]], however, must recharge after the duration ends.

In the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' games]], blue containers resembling those from City Trial in ''Kirby Air Ride'' appear randomly during battles. Unlike its previous iteration, these containers always contain only one item. They can be broken by fighters' attacks, along with stage hazards such as the [[Springy Hand]]s in [[Springy Hand Land]].

Containers can hold any other item except the following:
*Other Containers
*[[Buddy Star Blaster]] piece
*[[Ice Container]]
*[[Team Cannon]]
