The effect of the Black Smoke on Qbby.

The Black Smoke is a destructive element found throughout the BOXBOY! series, serving as the de facto antagonist of the BOXBOY! series.

Not much is known about the Black Smoke, but it has been shown to render entire planets completely uninhabitable, and corrupt lifeforms, such as boxes. Once a planet has been infected with the black smoke, the black smoke can only be removed from the planet through the use of a machine. This requires the sacrifice of one or more boxes, turning them black and making them enter "a long sleep".[1]

Throughout all the games in the series (with the exception of BOXBOXBOY!, the primary goal for the main characters is to stop the black smoke's destructive effects on planets.
