A Happy Box is an item in Mother 3. These mysterious boxes are manufactured by the Pigmask Army and are similar in appearance to televisions or desktop computer monitors. Director Shigesato Itoi has maintained that Happy Boxes are neither televisions nor monitors, explaining, "[They] aren't even displaying anything."^[1] and mentioning that they could even be fish tanks. Happy Boxes also bear the Pigmask insignia found on the Instant Revitalizing Machine and other select devices use by the Army. They are used as a mean of corrupting the residents of Tazmily Village into supporting the infrastructure the Pigmask Army introduces to the islands.

Flint is one of the few residents of Tazmily not to accept a Happy Box, although initially only four people wanted them. This results in his home being a frequent site for lightning strikes which the villagers see as an omen, despite that in reality this damage is caused deliberately by the Pigmask Army's own Thunder Tower.

TriviaEdit

• Only Salsa carries this item, forced to deliver the boxes to the villagers by Fassad.
