'''Assembly Blocks'''<ref>The internal file names for the blocks call them <tt>AssemblyBlockParts</tt>, followed by another code name or letter. Full list is on this article's talk page in LinkTheLefty's comment</ref> are special platforms appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They come in different varieties, including red or brown octagons, purple cubes, and green and blue rectangular platforms, which are the most common. Normally, they float around in space; however, when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] comes near them, they suddenly move into place around him, creating a path for him above a [[Pit|bottomless pit]].

Assembly Blocks are first encountered in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]], where many appear at the end of the [[Pull Star Path|first mission]], branching out into five pathways, each with a [[Silver Star]] at the end. When an Assembly Block moves to form part of a pathway, it makes a sound effect similar to that of a [[shrinking platform]]. Assembly Blocks also appear in the [[Pull Star Path Speed Run|Speedy Comet]] and the [[Purple Coin Spacewalk|Purple Comet]] missions, both taking place in the same Assembly Block area. The format for the Space Junk path is different in the Purple Comet [[mission]], to accommodate the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s.
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Assembly Blocks appear in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. In the Space Junk Galaxy, Mario encounters many of these platforms at the end of the [[Pull Star Path|first mission]]. These platforms branch out into five different pathways, each one holding a [[Silver Star]] at the end. Mario has to traverse the Assembly Blocks and collect the five Silver Stars to form a [[Power Star]]. Mario also finds Assembly Blocks in the [[Pull Star Path Speed Run|Speedy Comet mission]] and the [[Purple Coin Spacewalk|Purple Comet mission]] for that galaxy, as both missions involve the same Assembly Block area. The format for the Space Junk path is different in the Purple Comet mission, to accommodate the 100 [[Purple Coin]]s.


Pieces of Assembly Blocks appear near the Ice Planet and in the fifth area of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], being the only means to traverse these areas. These platforms are fragile and shatter several seconds after the path is formed. Towards the end of the planet are cube-shaped Assembly Blocks made of ice that Mario can [[skate]] on. The fifth area is composed almost entirely of floating Assembly Blocks in the shape of rectangular prisms. Mario must walk along these platforms in 2D while avoiding [[Fire Bar]]s and encountering [[gravity field]]s.

Assembly Blocks are encountered in the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]] during the [[Cosmic Clone]] mission and in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] on the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy#Palette Planet|Palette Planet]]. In the Cloudy Court Galaxy, Assembly Blocks form paths for Mario in lieu of the [[Cloud Flower]], though some act as walls, requiring Mario to [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]] up a specific area instead. In the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, Mario is required to ride the [[Star Ball]] across a short pathway of Assembly Blocks. Only the green and blue rectangular variety of Assembly Blocks appears in both galaxies.
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Assembly Blocks appear in the [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]] and [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]]. Assembly Blocks appear only in the [[Cosmic Clone]] mission in the Cloudy Court Galaxy, where they form paths for Mario in lieu of the [[Cloud Flower]]. Mario also encounters Assembly Blocks acting as walls, as he needs to [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]] up a specific area instead of using clouds. Only the green and blue rectangular variety of Assembly Blocks appears here.
 
In the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, Assembly Blocks appear on the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy#Palette Planet|Palette Planet]]. Mario must ride the [[Star Ball]] across a short pathway of these platforms. Again, only the green and blue rectangular variety appears here.
