'''''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!''''' is a puzzle platformer video game developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the Nintendo Switch system on April 26, 2019. It is the first mainline ''[[BOXBOY! (series)|BOXBOY!]]'' game on a device other than the 3DS, and is heavily focused on two-player. The game has the most stages of any in the series, with 270 between the 3 campaigns.

The game will be backwards-compatible with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console that will launch in 2025, making this the first game in the series to be backwards-compatible with another console.<ref>https://x.com/NintendoCoLtd/status/1853972163033968794</ref>

== Description ==

=== English (US) ===
Think outside the box to save a world in peril! As Qbby or Qucy, you'll create boxes and use them to surmount more than 270 puzzling stages—the most in the series to date! The box planet is plagued with obstacles, so jump, climb, drift, ride, and warp your way past them in three modes, complete with their own stories, stages, challenges, and techniques. You can even team up for a 2-player adventure starring both star-crossed boxes!

A Tale for Two is a new mode in which—for the first time in the series—two players can work together to solve puzzles... Or one brave player can alternate between Qbby and Qucy! On top of that, there's a third adventure starring Qudy, the tall one, and thanks to his extra-tall boxes, you'll even have to think outside the rectangle! As you beat stages, you'll uncover more, and if you're efficient, earn medals you can use to score everything from boxy accessories to simple comics to helpful items at the in-game shop. Got your eye on a sweet sailor costume? Then try Balloon Challenge: if you get all ten balloons before the time runs out, you'll score extra medals!

=== English (UK) ===
The fan-favourite 2D puzzle-platformer series comes to Nintendo Switch, in ''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'' Think outside the box – alone or with a friend in co-op – as you help Qbby and his pals solve tricky puzzles across 270 brainteasing stages!

==Plot==
[[Qbby (BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!)|Qbby]] enters through a level door into a green field and sees [[Qucy (BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!)|Qucy]] who is with two [[Qbaby|Qbabies]], one with blue cheeks and one with red cheeks. A meteor falls between the [[Box Baby|red-cheeked Qbaby]] and the others, separating the ground.

After [[Box Dad]] and [[Box Mom]] enter through a level door into a green field, black meteors begin falling from the sky and the ground turns black. They encounter Box Baby, who then joins them. After traversing a few [[worlds]], a chunk of the meteor hits the ground the three are standing on, sending them underground. They find the [[Box Ship]], so Box Mom gives her bow to Box Baby and her and Box Dad sacrifice themselves to power it so that Box Baby can board it and escape the planet.

At the beginning of [[World 5 (BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!)|World 5]], Qbby and Qucy encounter a grey [[Qudy]] and manage to restore him. He then accompanies the group. Qbby, Qucy, Qudy, and the blue-cheeked Qbaby find the Box Ship that Box Baby boarded, and they abduct all four into the Box Ship to help them escape the [[Black Smoke|black smoke]] and meteors falling on the planet. After Qbby, Qucy, and the Qbabies are reunited, the Box Ship's monitor shows that the meteors falling onto the planets are caused by a purple cloud. It sends a giant meteor at the planet, prompting Qbby and Qucy to go onto the surface of the large meteor in order to destroy it before it can make contact with the planet. The Box Ship shoots three drills which connect with the meteor in various places, slowing it down.

Qudy goes back to the surface of the planet in order to destroy the purple cloud. By collecting four fragments from different worlds, Qudy powers a machine that shoots two lasers directly into the purple cloud, substantially weakening it. The Qbabies arrive to take Qudy into the purple cloud so that he can destroy it. A portal opens in space after he partially blows it up and begins sucking the cloud into it, causing him to panic, but he is teleported off-planet and into space, where is he rescued by two boxes who resemble Qbby and Qucy. The Box Ship then veers toward the now-decayed Box Planet.

Meanwhile, Qbby and Qucy travel across the meteor in order to power the drills. They encounter a separate box who sacrifices themselves to power the first drill, which cracks the meteor. Later, Qucy sacrifices herself to activate the second drill, which causes a second crack in the meteor.

====First Ending====
At the end of the last world, if the story is completed without gaining all four [[Miracle Boy|fragments]], Qbby finds that the final drill requires two boxes instead of one. He sits down in the gap and closes his eyes before the smoke covers the entire area. The meteor, undestroyed, crashes into the planet, causing it to fall apart. A grey Qbby then falls onto the broken planet with his eyes shut. The credits then roll. At the end of the credits, a post-credit scene is shown where a white box falls from the sky next to the grey Qbby. At the bottom right screen, the text "To be continued" shows.

While unconfirmed, it is commonly believed that this ending leads to ''[[BOXBOY! (game)|BOXBOY!]]''<nowiki/>'s beginning.

====Second Ending====
If the story is completed after gaining all four fragments (by completing all stories), Qbby arrives at the final drill and notices that it requires two boxes instead of one. He sits in the drill and closes his eyes. The four fragments then combine to create a second box which is glowing. It sits in the other gap of the drill, allowing it to be activated, which subsequently destroys the meteor. The black smoke moves away from the planet and it is green again. The credits roll, showing the Qbabies playing and running around on a green field after the world has been saved. They then look up as the camera pans up to reveal space, where, as the "The End" text appears, four stars glow for a brief moment.

==Characters==
<blockquote>''Main article: [[:Category:Characters|Characters]]''</blockquote>''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'' features 3 playable characters. In single-player mode, the player plays as Qbby or Qucy (switchable using ZR and ZL on the Switch controller), featuring the moves and [[abilities]] from previous games. In two-player, the first player is Box Dad, while the second player is Box Mom. There is no actual difference between them, besides Box Mom's [[Box|boxes]] having a bow on them to prevent confusion. After beating either "A Tale For One" or "A Tale For Two", a bonus campaign featuring Qudy is unlocked. Being taller than the other characters, Qudy's boxes are rectangular and he can turn sideways to make horizontal boxes instead of vertical.

== Game Modes==

===A Tale For One===
''"1 player: A brave youth stands against the danger that threatens the world! The main story"''

A Tale For One is a single player story in ''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!'' where the player controls Qbby or Qucy through various levels. In this game mode, the player can switch between playing as Qbby and Qucy who mechanically have no difference.

=== A Tale For Two===
''"1-2 players: An adventure for two to protect the planet! Work together to reach the goal!"''

A Tale For Two is ''BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!''<nowiki/>'s multiplayer mode where player 1 controls Box Dad and player 2 controls Box Mom. Appearance and gameplay-wise, these characters are identical to Qbby and Qucy.

===A Tall Tale===
''"1 player: The tall one stirs...! A third story to sink your teeth into."''

A Tall Tale is a game mode unlockable by completing one of the other two. Players control Qudy who creates oblong boxes instead of squares.

==Trivia==

*''BOXBOY + BOXGIRL!'' is the first game in the [[BOXBOY! (series)|''BOXBOY!'' series]] which features multiplayer.
*This game is the first (and currently only) ''BOXBOY!'' title available on Nintendo Switch
*This game is the only mainline ''BOXBOY!'' game which has never been [[Hakoboy! Stuffed Box|released physically]] in cartridge form.
**A physical download card which contains a code to download the game from Nintendo eShop was released exclusively in Japan.
*This game has a total of 270 levels across all campaigns combined, making it the ''BOXBOY!'' game with the highest level count as of 2024.
*This game's [[shop]] is completely overhauled from previous entries in the series, not only in obtainable items but also its layout being an area the player can walk in rather than a UI.
*This game is the first mainline game to not include [[Spiky]].
*This game is the first canon game to not take place during the events of the [[BOXBOY! trilogy|''BOXBOY!'' trilogy]].
**The placement of this game is debatable, however - see [[Lore of BOXBOY!|Lore of ''BOXBOY!'']] for further details.
*This game is the first (and only) ''BOXBOY!'' game which can be bought digitally from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humble_Bundle Humble Bundle] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company) Amazon].
*This is the first mainline ''BOXBOY!'' game since [[BOXBOXBOY!]]''[[BOXBOXBOY!]]'' to not contain [[Amiibo]] support.
*This is the first mainline ''BOXBOY!'' game to not be a part of the [[BOXBOY! Trilogy|trilogy]].

*Unlike the previous 3DS entries in the ''BOXBOY!'' series, this game is intended to run at 60FPS rather than 30FPS.
**However, many critics reported in reviews that the game frequently dipped significantly below this frame rate. This was mostly fixed in [[1.0.1 Update (BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!)|a patch]] released one day after the game's launch; however, some levels with bigger or more graphics-intensive areas still suffer from the lag even with the patch installed.
* This game was built using the [[wikipedia:Unity (game engine)|Unity]] game engine as opposed to the custom engine used for the [[BOXBOY! trilogy|trilogy]] and many 3DS ''Kirby'' games.
**This is not the first ''BOXBOY!'' game to use an engine different from the one used in the trilogy; the first is ''[[UNIQLO x BOXBOY! (game)|UNIQLO x BOXBOY!]]'', which uses Cocos2d.
*As of March 27th, 2023, this is the only ''BOXBOY!'' title still available for purchase digitally.
*With the exception of the [[Qucy (costume)|Qucy costume]], this is the first ''BOXBOY!'' game in which Qucy is a playable character.

'''四角いアイツの、大団円!!'''

ハコを出すことができる、四角い体の主人公「キュービィ」を操作して、さまざまな障害物を乗り越える『ハコボーイ！』の第3弾。今回キュービィは、さまざまな惑星をめぐり、星ごとに異なる多彩な仕掛けに挑みます。果たしてハコで宇宙を救うことはできるのか？ひらめきで解き進むパズルアクションゲーム、最終章！
==Plot==
After the events of the [[BOXBOXBOY!|previous game]], [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]], and [[Qudy]] travel through space in the [[Box Ship]] to restore various planets which have been destroyed by the [[Black Smoke]]. On each of the three planets, Qbby encounters a [[Qbaby]] in need of help. Qbby helps the Qbaby and escorts the Qbaby to the World Map, where it stays there.

Once reaching the final World in a planet, Qbaby creates a being similar to [[Planetron]] out of the ground underneath the final World Door, which gives Qbby various special [[abilities]] such as the Rocket Box and Bombox. Upon completing the final World of a planet, the Planetron-like being goes back inside the Qbaby. The Qbaby then sacrifices themselves on the Planet's machine, which removes the black smoke on the planet.

After beating the first three planets, a giant wormhole makes a fourth planet appear, which is covered in more black smoke than the previous ones. The Box Ship fires three machines at its surface, and the black smoke planet fires black smoke projectiles at the machines. Only one machine makes it to the surface, but its top part gets destroyed by one projectile. The black smoke planet loses a significant amount of black smoke, and the Box Ship heads there.

The black-smoke Planet does not contain a Qbaby that needs to be escorted. Rather, once reaching the planet's final main World, an unknown Qbaby-sized box covered in black smoke wakes up temporarily and makes another Planetron-like character out of the ground, then mysteriously disappears in a cloud of black smoke.

Qbby steps out the final World Door, and the fourth Planetron-like being transforms into the top part of the planet's machine which was destroyed. Qbby enters the machine's hole and closes his eyes, but a geyser of black smoke interrupts and attacks Qbby, preventing him from using the machine. Suddenly, various boxes hit the geyser, plugging it. These boxes apparently came from Qucy and Qudy. The machine's hole became a much bigger hole in the process of plugging the geyser, requiring more than one box to activate. Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy jump into the hole (in the exact same pattern as the game's icon) and close their eyes as the machine starts again. The black smoke piles up around them, and their power successfully activates the machine, exploding the black smoke planet and finally bringing peace to the galaxy once and for all - at the sacrifice of Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy.

In a post-credit scene, three of the Qbabies have somehow woken up and arrived on the Box Planet. They run around for a bit before stopping in front of the grayed-out Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy. The camera then zooms in on Qbby, as the game's "The End" text shows on-screen. If one waits long enough on this screen, Qbby opens his eyes, blinks a few times, then closes them again, ending the game and therefore the trilogy.

==Plot==
Picking up where the [[BOXBOY! (game)|last game]] left off, the Box Planet has been returned to its former glory, but at the sacrifice of [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]], and [[Qudy]] through the use of the [[Machine|Machines]]. A grayed-out [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]] and [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]] are shown lying in the final Machine from ''BOXBOY!'' are shown with their eyes shut, presumably unconscious. The Box Planet revives Qbby by making [[Planetron]], who is a green floating being who looks like the Box Planet. The camera zooms into Qbby, as if to imply that the game takes place in Qbby's dreams. Qbby wakes up and the player is taught how to make [[Box|boxes]].

Upon reaching the second level in the game, Qbby gets stuck at a puzzle he cannot solve due to his ability to only make one set of boxes at a time. Just as he is about to give up, Planetron arrives and merges with Qbby. Qbby then gets the ability to make two sets of boxes and completes the puzzle.

Qbby steps out the World Door, and Planetron uses the power gained from beating the level to create a picture of a greyed-out Qucy back on the Box Planet. Throughout the game, the goal is to complete worlds, which gradually restores the images of Qbby and his friends and, once restored, will revive Qucy and Qudy completely. These images can also contain chests, which will give Qbby new items to purchase in the [[Shop]].

Upon beating the last world in the game, Planetron completes the last image, which is of Qbby. He then enters the image. Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy turn into particles, which also enter the image. The credits then play.

In the post-credit scene, the camera zooms out to reveal Qbby, who is back on the Box Planet with Qucy, Qudy, and Planetron. Planetron then explodes into green particles, and Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy get beamed up by the [[Box Ship]], which warps to three black-smoke covered planets, setting up [[BYE-BYE BOXBOY!|the final chapter]] in the [[BOXBOY!

* Interestingly, this game's main World Map is significantly different from the other World Maps in the series, as it is mostly vertical and not horizontal.
* This game's [[Shop]] has the least amount of purchasable items as a result of Challenge Stages being moved in that game to [[World CW (BOXBOXBOY!)|World CW]]. This change only affected this game, and all future entries in the series would revert back to using the Shop as a means of playing Challenge Stages.

'''''BOXBOY!''''' (JP: ハコボーイ!) is a 2D platforming puzzle game developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the first installment of the [[BOXBOY! trilogy|''BOXBOY!'' trilogy]]. It was released on the Nintendo eShop on April 2, 2015.
==Characters==
The player plays as [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], a square-shaped cube that can create boxes. The game also features two non-player characters: [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]] and [[Qudy]].

==Description==

=== English (US) ===
Think outside the box to save a world in peril! Traverse tricky landscapes by creating boxes to help Qbby navigate more than 20 puzzling worlds. Just watch out—tons of obstacles stand in your way, so fortify yourself with a Shielding Afro or other boxy defenses. Then beat some more stages to earn sweet square costumes, like a superhero outfit!

After snaking your way through a plethora of levels, try taking on some challenges. Time attack will have you puzzle-solving your way through an assortment of levels as quickly as possible, giving you the chance to test your skills at creating box-shaped defenses. If that's not enough, Score Attack has you collecting as many tokens as possible within the time limit while using boxes to lift yourself up and maneuver around a huge stage. All the world's a puzzle and you're the only box boy boxy enough to save it!

=== English (UK) ===
Think outside of the box and solve puzzles aplenty in ''BOXBOY!'', available exclusively from Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS family systems! In this 2D puzzle-platformer, use boxes to overcome obstacles and reach the goal at the end of each stage.

Meet Qbby. Qbby's a square character who can't jump very far or very high, but he does have one very special ability – he can create boxes out of thin air. Not only that, but he can generate multiple boxes at once and arrange them in different ways: in straight lines, in a step-like formation, you name it! Created shapes can be placed down or thrown to wherever they're needed. With this skill on his side, no situation can box Qbby in!

The number of boxes that Qbby can create at once changes depending on the stage, so be wary of your limits! Get creative with shapes to beat every stage – and with over 150 stages, you'll really need to box clever! You could build some steps to climb to new heights, string a bridge together to cross a chasm, hook onto things or activate contraptions. If you're walking into a dangerous situation, use your talent to form a shield and slip through safely.

If you're a brainbox, you can pick up a crown in each stage – they'll disappear once you use a set number of boxes, so efficiency is key! Good performances also earn you medals, which can be traded for goodies, such as costumes that can improve your abilities or extra challenges. If you're not happy with an attempt, use the instant reset function and start the stage again, or if you're really stuck, you can use Play Coins to get a hint on how to proceed!

== Plot ==
Qbby falls from what appears to be the sky and lands to the right of a blacked-out box with his eyes shut, beginning the game. The [[World Map]] contains doors to new worlds that are inaccessible because of giant pits of Black Smoke blocking the way. When Qbby completes a World, he gains the power to make a giant box that repairs the pit and allows Qbby to cross over safely.

At the end of [[World 2 (BOXBOY!)|World 2]], Qbby finds a button which he presses, making a [[Box Ship]] in the sky drop [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]]. Upon returning to the World Map, the game camera pans to reveal many doors leading to new Worlds, the [[Projector]], the game's first [[machine]], as well as the game's title card.

At the end of [[World 4 (BOXBOY!)|World 4]], a similar cutscene to the one at the end of World 2 takes place, where the [[Box Ship]] drops Qudy.

Upon completing [[World 7 (BOXBOY!)|World 7]], the Projector can be accessed. A cutscene takes place, revealing that a meteor has crashed into the Box Planet, corrupting the planet with Black Smoke. Upon reaching the first machine in the game, Qudy activates it, causing the world to start tilting. Qbby and Qucy ultimately reach the other side of the planet.

Upon reaching the final [[machine]], Qbby gains power as usual, but a black smoke geyser suddenly breaks out of the ground. He uses his power to quickly create boxes to plug the geyser, turning him black. The geyser is plugged, and Qbby and Qucy activate the final machine. Their power restores the Box Planet to its former, black smoke-free self, ending the game.

'''''BOXBOY!''''' (JP: ハコボーイ!) is a 2D platforming puzzle game developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the first installment of the [[BOXBOY! trilogy|''BOXBOY!'' trilogy]]. It was released on the Nintendo eShop on April 2, 2015.
==Characters==
The player plays as [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], a square-shaped cube that can create boxes. The game also features two non-player characters: [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]] and [[Qudy]].
: ''Main article: [[:Category:Characters|Characters]]''
==Description==

=== English (US) ===
Think outside the box to save a world in peril! Traverse tricky landscapes by creating boxes to help Qbby navigate more than 20 puzzling worlds. Just watch out—tons of obstacles stand in your way, so fortify yourself with a Shielding Afro or other boxy defenses. Then beat some more stages to earn sweet square costumes, like a superhero outfit!

After snaking your way through a plethora of levels, try taking on some challenges. Time attack will have you puzzle-solving your way through an assortment of levels as quickly as possible, giving you the chance to test your skills at creating box-shaped defenses. If that's not enough, Score Attack has you collecting as many tokens as possible within the time limit while using boxes to lift yourself up and maneuver around a huge stage. All the world's a puzzle and you're the only box boy boxy enough to save it!

=== English (UK) ===
Think outside of the box and solve puzzles aplenty in ''BOXBOY!'', available exclusively from Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS family systems! In this 2D puzzle-platformer, use boxes to overcome obstacles and reach the goal at the end of each stage.

Meet Qbby. Qbby's a square character who can't jump very far or very high, but he does have one very special ability – he can create boxes out of thin air. Not only that, but he can generate multiple boxes at once and arrange them in different ways: in straight lines, in a step-like formation, you name it! Created shapes can be placed down or thrown to wherever they're needed. With this skill on his side, no situation can box Qbby in!

The number of boxes that Qbby can create at once changes depending on the stage, so be wary of your limits! Get creative with shapes to beat every stage – and with over 150 stages, you'll really need to box clever! You could build some steps to climb to new heights, string a bridge together to cross a chasm, hook onto things or activate contraptions. If you're walking into a dangerous situation, use your talent to form a shield and slip through safely.

If you're a brainbox, you can pick up a crown in each stage – they'll disappear once you use a set number of boxes, so efficiency is key! Good performances also earn you medals, which can be traded for goodies, such as costumes that can improve your abilities or extra challenges.

Pit your wits against oodles of obstacle-filled levels, including new stages where you’ll need to think outside the box and ensure a safe passage for both Qbby and the adorable Qbabies. Create boxes out of thin air to build bridges, hit switches and reach riches! Whether you’re tracking down crowns, conjuring up laser-beam-blocking barriers or summoning a spike-shielding stairway, there’s always something to keep this clever cube on his toes.

'''四角いアイツの、大団円!!'''

ハコを出すことができる、四角い体の主人公「キュービィ」を操作して、さまざまな障害物を乗り越える『ハコボーイ！』の第3弾。今回キュービィは、さまざまな惑星をめぐり、星ごとに異なる多彩な仕掛けに挑みます。果たしてハコで宇宙を救うことはできるのか？ひらめきで解き進むパズルアクションゲーム、最終章！
==Plot==
After the events of the [[BOXBOXBOY!|previous game]], [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]], and [[Qudy]] travel through space in the [[Box Ship]] to restore various planets which have been destroyed by the [[Black Smoke]]. On each of the three planets, Qbby encounters a [[Qbaby]] in need of help. Qbby helps the Qbaby and escorts the Qbaby to the World Map, where it stays there.

Once reaching the final World in a planet, Qbaby creates a being similar to [[Planetron]] out of the ground underneath the final World Door, which gives Qbby various special [[abilities]] such as the Rocket Box and Bombox. Upon completing the final World of a planet, the Planetron-like being goes back inside the Qbaby. The Qbaby then sacrifices themselves on the Planet's machine, which removes the black smoke on the planet.

After beating the first three planets, a giant wormhole makes a fourth planet appear, which is covered in more black smoke than the previous ones. The Box Ship fires three machines at its surface, and the black smoke planet fires black smoke projectiles at the machines. Only one machine makes it to the surface, but its top part gets destroyed by one projectile. The black smoke planet loses a significant amount of black smoke, and the Box Ship heads there.

The black-smoke Planet does not contain a Qbaby that needs to be escorted. Rather, once reaching the planet's final main World, an unknown Qbaby-sized box covered in black smoke wakes up temporarily and makes another Planetron-like character out of the ground, then mysteriously disappears in a cloud of black smoke.

Qbby steps out the final World Door, and the fourth Planetron-like being transforms into the top part of the planet's machine which was destroyed. Qbby enters the machine's hole and closes his eyes, but a geyser of black smoke interrupts and attacks Qbby, preventing him from using the machine. Suddenly various boxes hit the geyser and plug it. These boxes apparently came from Qucy and Qudy. The machine's hole became a much bigger hole in the process, so Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy jump into the hole and close their eyes as the machine starts working again. The black smoke piles up around them, and as the camera zooms out, the power from them causes the black-smoke planet to explode, ending the black smoke threat once and for all.

In the post-credit scene, three of the Qbabies have somehow woken up and arrived on the Box Planet. They run around for a bit before stopping in front of three boxes, each resembling Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy, which are greyed-out. The camera then zooms in on the box resembling Qbby, as the game's "The End" text shows on-screen. If one waits long enough on the "The End" screen, the box resembling Qbby seemingly opens his eyes for a brief moment before closing them.

==Plot==
Picking up where the [[BOXBOY! (game)|last game]] left off, the Box Planet has been returned to its former glory, but at the sacrifice of [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]], [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]], and [[Qudy]] through the use of the [[Machine|Machines]]. A grayed-out [[Qbby (Trilogy)|Qbby]] and [[Qucy (Trilogy)|Qucy]] are shown lying in the final Machine from ''BOXBOY!'' are shown with their eyes shut, presumably unconscious. The Box Planet revives Qbby by making [[Planetron]], who is a green floating being who looks like the Box Planet. The camera zooms into Qbby, as if to imply that the game takes place in Qbby's dreams. Qbby wakes up and the player is taught how to make [[Box|boxes]].

Upon reaching the second level in the game, Qbby gets stuck at a puzzle he cannot solve due to his ability to only make one set of boxes at a time. Just as he is about to give up, Planetron arrives and merges with Qbby. Qbby then gets the ability to make two sets of boxes and completes the puzzle.

Qbby steps out the World Door, and Planetron uses the power gained from beating the level to create a picture of a greyed-out Qucy back on the Box Planet. Throughout the game, the goal is to complete worlds, which gradually restores the images of Qbby and his friends and, once restored, will revive Qucy and Qudy completely. These images can also contain chests, which will give Qbby new items to purchase in the [[Shop]].

Upon beating the last world in the game, Planetron completes the last image, which is of Qbby. He then enters the image. Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy turn into particles, which also enter the image. The credits then play.

In the post-credit scene, the camera zooms out to reveal Qbby, who is back on the Box Planet with Qucy, Qudy, and Planetron. Planetron then explodes into green particles, and Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy get beamed up by the [[Box Ship]], which warps to three black-smoke covered planets, setting up [[BYE-BYE BOXBOY!|the final chapter]] in the [[BOXBOY! Trilogy]].

==Trivia==

* Interestingly, this game's main World Map is significantly different from the other World Maps in the series, as it is mostly vertical and not horizontal.
* This game's [[Shop]] has the least amount of purchasable items as a result of Challenge Stages being moved in that game to [[World CW (BOXBOXBOY!)|World CW]]. This change only affected this game, and all future entries in the series would revert back to using the Shop as a means of playing Challenge Stages.
*This game is no longer available for purchase digitally as a result of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U consoles' Nintendo eShop closing. It is still redownloadable to those who previously bought it for the foreseeable future, and it can still be obtained physically by purchasing ''Hakoboy! Stuffed Box'' secondhand.
