These form bridges and walls that can be used to reach high platforms, cross gaps, and access secrets. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is the only game in which the struck block as the same design as the ones that extend from it. In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', it is a large [[! Block]]. In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'', the struck block typically resembles a [[Mega ? Block]].

| ===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
| |
| In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', these blocks first appear as a single faced block. Each time [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits the block, another face block pops out above the previous one, creating up to four face blocks piled on one another. This can help Mario or Luigi reach higher platforms, enter horizontal [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], or block enemies. However, if Mario or Luigi takes too long, the blocks will collapse back into a single face block.

| | '''Platform Blocks'''{{ref needed}} are objects that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They first start out as a single [[block]] with a face on it. Each time [[Mario]] hits the block, another Platform Block will pop out above the previous one, creating up to four Platform Blocks piled on one another. This can help Mario reach higher platforms, enter horizontal pipes, or block enemies. However, if Mario takes too long, the blocks will collapse back into a single Platform Block. |
| Face blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are spawned from red [[! Block]]s. They have the same design, are often spawned in different paths, and allow Mario or Luigi to access out-of-reach locations and collectibles, though they appear for only a period of time before they disappear.

| ===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''=== | | == History == |
| The same blocks appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]], but they resemble [[Empty Block]]s and lack faces in this game. The struck block in most appearances resembles a [[Mega ? Block]] and their dimensions are the same as the face blocks from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The only exception is the one in [[Double Cherry Pass]], which resembles and is the same size as a normal [[? Block]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The larger blocks are encountered in [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]] and [[Super Block Land]]. Hitting the block makes several rows of blocks extend out of it, allowing the player character to reach otherwise unreachable areas. In the [[Prima Games]] guidebook, this is referred to as a '''? Block tower'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|date=2013|title=''Super Mario 3D World: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=eGuide|location=Roseville|publisher=Prima Games|page=76}}</ref> In the port's ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' mode, these blocks are used to scale [[Clawswipe Colosseum]] after defeating Cat [[Boom Boom|Cat Boom Boom]] and [[Pom Pom|Cat Pom Pom]] once.

| ==Gallery== | | Platform Blocks are introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]], starting as a face. When hit, another block with a face will stack on top of it. Up to 4 blocks can be stacked. After a while, they will revert back into a single block. |

| | The blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where the main block is an [[! Block]]. It can conjure more or less than four blocks. The blocks don't always go straight up, they go in some paths as well. The face blocks even have the same design, and the Exclamation Mark Block is sometimes the size of regular blocks or sometimes bigger. |
| | |
| | === ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' === |
| | |
| | There are certain [[? Block]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' that act as Platform Blocks. In [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]] and [[Super Block Land]], there are larger versions of them. They can also be activated by tapping on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]]. |
| | |
| | === ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' === |
| | |
| | In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', giant, yellow ! Blocks that act as Platform Blocks appear as course elements. When hit multiple times, they produce giant [[Empty Block]]s.<ref>Nintendo.
