This article is a stub. Please consider expanding it to include any missing information. Specifics: What determines which soft blocks in Ice Zone will regenerate? Is it random, like which soft blocks contain items? It seems rather inconsistent.

This article is about the blocks that appear in Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! For the blocks known as "Hard Blocks" in the Mario series, see Hard Block.

Blocks are solid objects from Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! that are a fixture of the gameplay grid whose appearance changes depending on the round's theme. There are two common types of blocks. Indestructible blocks are simple obstructions that border the map and appear in a grid inside the map, and also appear in boss stages. Other blocks, known simply as "blocks" in the manual[1], can be destroyed with a bomb, and occasionally contain Normal Items that can be freed by bombing them. Blocks that get blown up also stop the explosion wave, so the player can hide behind them.

In Round 6, some destroyed blocks, referred to as Regenerating Walls, regenerate after about 7 in-game seconds. A regenerating wall will never regenerate on top of Wario, Bomberman, or a Madbomber if they are on top of one, instead regenerating the moment they leave the space.
