A '''Dark Block''' is a [[? Block]]-impersonating [[Block]] enemy, found in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They appear only in [[Dream's Deep]], the [[Pi'illo Castle]] version. Outside battle, they appear stationary until approached. They then appear to grow a face and move sideways, attempting to fall on the player. In battle, Dark Blocks cannot be hit by ground-based attacks due to their ability to fly. One of the Dark Block's attacks has the enemy float above [[Mario]]. Jumping into them counts down a timer. If the timer does not reach zero at the end of the attack, the face appears on the Dark Block as it falls on Mario, and may inflict a Dizzy status. Another attack that it uses is floating above Mario, but with spikes and [[Brick Block]]s, from right to left. The player can avoid jumping, but the Dark Block will just strike back at the end of the attack. To avoid this, the player must jump to hit the Dark Block as is passes overhead. Hitting spikes causes damage (although the Dark Block will not strike if that happens), and hitting a Brick Block gives the player a Coin. If any attack is countered, the Dark Block's face appears sad, and the Dark Block's defense lowers greatly, and it will not attack. If a Dark Block is defeated, it transforms into an actual ? Block. The ? Block drops a [[Coin]] or an Item when hit, then disappears.

==Trivia==
*Not counting the [[Papercraft]] models from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' or giant bosses from this game and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Dark Blocks are one of three enemies in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] prior to ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' to not use 2D sprites like most characters, and is instead a 3D render, along with [[Shiny RoboBowser]], the final boss of ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' and [[Cackletta]]'s spirit form, the final boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Outside of battle, the Dark Blocks do use 2D sprites however.
