These [[platform]]s appear in red or brown octagons, purple cubes, and green and blue rectangular varieties, the latter being the most common. Cosmic blocks normally float around but move into place around [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when approached, creating a path for him above a [[pit|bottomless pit]].

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Assembly Block Planet.png|thumb|250px|Mario surrounded by cosmic blocks in the Space Junk Galaxy]]
Cosmic 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 a cosmic block moves to form part of a pathway, it makes a sound effect similar to that of a [[shrinking platform]]. Cosmic 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 cosmic 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 cosmic blocks appear near the ice sphere 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 cosmic blocks made of ice that Mario can [[skate]] on. The fifth area is composed almost entirely of floating cosmic 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.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2 Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy 3.png|thumb|left|200px|Mario on a cosmic block in Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]]
Cosmic 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, cosmic 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 cosmic blocks. Only the green and blue rectangular variety of cosmic blocks appears in both galaxies.
