Editing Brick Block

[[File:Brick Block.png|thumb|A '''Brick Block''' as seen in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
A '''Brick Block''' is a block that has made an appearance in nearly every ''Mario'' platformer to date. As its name implies, Brick Blocks are blocks made of bricks. Their first appearance was in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.

In all ''Mario'' platformer games, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] could only break this block as [[Super Mario]] (or Super Luigi) or another form of Super Mario, such as [[Fire Mario]]. By jumping into it from beneath, the Brick Block would shatter, giving the player ten points. If [[Small Mario]] hit the block, it would just bounce up slightly. Either way, an enemy walking on the brick will be injured. However, if Brick Blocks contain an [[item]], the item would be released, regardless of Mario's status, and the Brick Block would turn into an [[Used Block]].

Brick Blocks can contain:
*[[Power-Up]]
*[[Coin]]
*[[Coin Block|Multiple Coins]]
*[[Starman]]
*[[Vine]]
*[[1-Up Mushroom]]
*Top Ramen (''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'')

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Brick Blocks appeared again, this time filled with sand. However, they are otherwise no different from their earlier counterparts. Starting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Brick Blocks could also be [[Ground Pound]]ed to break them.

Brick Blocks appear in the game ''Super Mario Galaxy'' along with ? Blocks.

Brick Blocks also appear in other games, such as the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' games]].

Brick Blocks are set to re-appear in the upcoming [[Nintendo 3DS]] ''Mario'' game, ''[[Super Mario 3D]]''.

==Trivia==
*Brick Blocks were absent in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They were replaced by the similar [[Rotating Block]]s.
*Brick Blocks appear in the 2010 version of [[Nintendo Monopoly]], assuming the role of Community Chest spaces and cards. In this game, they are referred to simply as "Blocks". In the 2006 version, [[Coin Block]]s filled the role instead.
*When downloading a Virtual Console or WiiWare game from the Wii Shop Channel, Mario, Luigi, or both will hit Brick Blocks while the game is being downloaded.
