Brick Blocks have made an appearance in nearly every game of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] to date. As their name implies, they are designed to resemble sections of a brick wall.


In most ''Super Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] or any other character can break this block only in their [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or higher tiered variants of the Super form, such as the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] or [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]]. Brick Blocks can be broken in many ways (usually just by [[jump]]ing into them from below); they give the player ten [[point]]s (50 in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and its derivatives). If [[Small Mario]] or [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] hits a Brick Block, it just bounces up slightly. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, they work just like [[? Block]]s, as the item pops out and the block turns into an [[Empty Block]].  Regardless, any enemies walking on the block will be injured. In ''Super Mario Bros.'' and the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], Brick Blocks' colors change to fit those of their environment (blue while underground, gray/white in [[castle]]s, red in volcanic areas, etc.)

Bricks debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', where they are used as containers and platforms. In [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|a]] [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|few]] [[World D-3|levels]] in ''The Lost Levels'', the castle walls use the same brick styling as bricks, which can make them harder to see, as only the small white top of the block can be seen. This is alleviated in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions, where the castle wall is replaced and [[Hidden Block]]s replace the bricks.

For unknown reasons, in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions of these games, Mario/[[Luigi]] will continue their upward momentum slightly after punching through a brick, rather than rebounding back down, as in other games.


====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bricks shimmer and are as yellow as [[? Block]]s due to graphical limitations on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. This carries over into the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4]]'', where they both use the golden coin palette. They can now be broken by tail whips and kicked [[shell]]s. [[Mega Block|Bigger versions]] of Brick Blocks first appear in [[Giant Land]], though they function the same as their regular variant. The first level of [[Desert Land]] introduces [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s that wear dull bricks (except in the ''All-Stars'' version, where their blocks shine like normal ones) and attempt to stomp Mario by hopping towards him.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic [[Block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s are re-skinned to resemble brick blocks, though they behave the same as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. A different visual change is given to [[crate]]s, however. They can be broken by most of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]]'s attacks. There is also a large black variation of the block that can be broken only by Wario (although any player character can break it with the help of a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]). [[Yoshi]] cannot break any of them unless he is under the effects of a mushroom.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
As of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', bricks can also be [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed to break them. In the game's sequels, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Brick Blocks function identically as in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.''

Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', working as they did in the 2D ''Super Mario'' games. Certain Brick Blocks hide [[Tail Wheel]]s, which have the platforms they are on ascend when spun. Additionally, a Brick Block-like enemy known as the [[Fake Block]] is introduced. These enemies camouflage themselves with regular Brick Blocks, and attack when the player approaches them. [[Blokkablok]]s also have spiked Brick Blocks as segments; unlike normal Brick Blocks, theirs can be broken by Small Mario.

Brick Blocks (referred to simply as '''Blocks''') reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as objects that can be placed into the level (excluding the ''Super Mario World'' style, where they are replaced by [[Rotating Blocks]], which the game also labels simply as "Blocks"). They serve the same purpose as in most ''Super Mario'' games.

====''Super Mario Run''====
====''Super Mario Run''====
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' working as they do in other 2D '' Super Mario'' titles. Sometimes, they contain a [[color coin]] or [[Bonus Medal]] inside. If a [[Koopa Troopa|Green Koopa Troopa]] or a [[Koopa Troopa|Red Koopa Troopa]] is defeated by being hit while standing on a Brick Block, the shell is tossed forward while not spinning. Certain Brick Blocks in [[Boohind Lock and Key]] turn into [[Long Jump Block]]s when hit instead of breaking or releasing an item. [[Cutting-Edge Spire]] has a section where Brick Blocks have to be broken by the player to advance, a rarity in 2D ''Super Mario'' games.
Brick Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' working as they do in other 2D '' Super Mario'' titles. Sometimes, they contain a [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]], [[Purple Coin]], or [[Black Coin]] inside.
 
Brick Blocks can only be broken by characters that are two blocks tall. In versions of ''Super Mario Run'' prior to version 3.0.4, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s did not have Small forms and therefore always break Brick Blocks at the cost of dying whenever they take damage. In versions since the Fall 2017 update, said characters and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] have Small forms to shrink into when being hit, now functioning identically to Mario and Luigi.


Brick Blocks are [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]]s that can be purchased and placed in the Mushroom Kingdom in Kingdom Builder mode. They come in a number of variations with differing arrangements of Brick Blocks. '''Block A''' is a single Brick Block, taking up a 1x1 space. '''Block B''' is a pair of Brick Blocks placed side by side, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block C''' is a pair of Brick Blocks with one on top of the other, taking up a 1x1 space. '''Block D''' is three  Brick Blocks arranged in a "L" shape open to the right, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block E''' is three Brick Blocks arranged in a "L" shape open to the left, taking up a 1x2 space. '''Block F''' is four  Brick Blocks arranged in a square stacked upward, taking up a 1x2 space. Block E is available exclusively as a [[My Nintendo]] reward for 100 Platinum Points each, while the rest can be obtained by normal means in the Shop or the Bonus Game of Remix 10.
In earlier versions of ''Super Mario Run'' prior to the Fall 2017 update, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s were defeated in one hit and did not have Small forms to shrink into upon being hit by enemies (they instead remained in their normal usual forms after being defeated or falling in pits or lava) and therefore they had an advantage of being able to break Brick Blocks from the start, unlike Mario and Luigi, who usually need to be in their Super forms in order to do so.  


[[Mega Block]]s also appear, as two buildings. A Mega Block building with just one Mega Block, and a Mega Blocks building consisting two Mega Blocks with one placed on top of the other.
In versions since the Fall 2017 update, said characters and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] are given Small forms to shrink into when being hit, therefore letting them take one more hit before being defeated, thus making them more consistent with Mario and Luigi (though they still start each stage in Super form). As a result, said characters lose their advantage over Mario and Luigi and now require their normal usual forms to break Brick Blocks.


====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Brick Blocks appear again in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', working the same as in previous games. They resemble their original design, as they have four layers of bricks. In the [[Wooded Kingdom]], Brick Blocks are larger than normal and made out of stone.

Brick Blocks (again simply called Blocks in the Course Maker, though referred to by their full name in [[Yamamura's Dojo]]) appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', acting as they did in ''Super Mario Maker'', with Rotating Blocks replacing them in the ''Super Mario World'' style. In the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, [[Crystal Block]]s replace regular Brick Blocks in the forest and underground themes, while [[Hard Block]]s take the form of [[Rock Block]]s.

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bricks often appear in the background. Some are used as destructible platforms, though. In "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]", rebelling [[pipe creatures]] that [[Toad]] made use the wand they stole to make a pile of bricks act like [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s. In "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", Mario calls a brick holding a [[Super Leaf]] a "'''Super Block'''".

(where they form a solid platform on the left side) and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]] of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] (where they are aged and more realistic, as with the rest of the stage), [[3D Land]], and possibly in [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] (bar the ''Super Mario World'' style). They also appear in the 3DS version's Smash Run mode. They can be broken as in the ''Super Mario'' games, though they are a bit sturdier after ''Melee''.

[[File:Bouquet Gardens Block 2.png|thumb|Mario standing on a Brick Block in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.]]
In the ''Paper Mario'' series, Brick Blocks primarily serve as breakable obstacles and do not often give out items like [[? Block]]s. In every game, regular ones can be broken with Mario's [[Jump]] and [[Hammer]] attacks.
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Brick Blocks can also be destroyed by Kooper's shell. Some ? Blocks are disguised as Brick Blocks.
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Brick Blocks serve a similar role to ''Paper Mario''. They can sometimes contain coins. In the Super Bowser Bros. segments, four Brick Blocks clustered together appear to form larger ones.

Objects hidden inside blocks are not active, such as [[Capsule Plus]] where it will not countdown until it is released. Some of the [[Coin Block|blocks]] may contain [[coin]]s, where the coins that come from these type of blocks are pink with the image of a virus imprinted on it.
