Plot

WARNING!! Spoilers abound! If you do not wish to have the game spoiled for you, come back to this section after completing the game.

Qbby enters through a level door into a green field and sees Qucy who is with two Qbabies, one with blue cheeks and one with red cheeks. A meteor falls between the 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 a spaceship, 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, Qbby and Qucy encounter a grey Qudy and manage to restore him. He then accompanies the group. Qbby, Qucy, Qudy, and the Qbaby find the spaceship that Box Baby boarded, and they abduct all four into the spaceship to help them escape the black smoke and meteors falling on the planet. After Qbby, Qucy, and the Qbabies are reunited, the spaceship'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 spaceship 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 the Qbabies.

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 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.

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, however the four fragments then combine to create a second box who is glowing. It sits in the other gap of the drill, allowing it to be activated, and the meteor is destroyed. The black smoke moves away from the planet and it is green again. The credits show the Qbabies on a green field.

Characters

BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! features 3 playable characters. In single-player mode, the player plays as Qbby, featuring the moves and abilities from previous games. In two-player, the first player is Qbby, while the second player is Qucy. There is no actual difference between them, besides Qucy's boxes having a bow on them to keep people from getting confused. After beating either single or two player, a bonus campaign featuring Qudy is unlocked. Because Qudy is taller than the other Boxes, his boxes are rectangular, and he can turn sideways to make horizontal boxes instead of vertical.
