Our boxy hero, Qbby, has a brand-new power that lets him duplicate his blocky bod into TWO sets of boxes. He'll put every box to use to survive perilous traps across 11+ worlds of puzzling levels. Learn new tricks and box formations to get past obstacles, like switches, spikes, and even lazers!

Once you learn the ropes—erm, boxes—take on the bonus challenge world to beat levels using the Bunny or Ninja outfit with a lower box count. Medals overflowing your pockets? Take them to the shop to purchase new costumes, like the Robo-Suit, read humourous comics, or listen to the tunes of BOXBOXBOY! If you've played the first title, BOXBOY!, you can unlock many of those costumes too because almost every one can be used in BOXBOXBOY!

## Plot

Picking up where the last game left off, the Box Planet has been returned to its former glory, but at the sacrifice of Qbby, Qucy, and Qudy through the use of the Machines. A grayed-out Qbby and Qucy are shown lying in the final Machine from  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 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 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. 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  secondhand.
