| | '''Grab Blocks''' are dark blue Blocks appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. As its name implies, the main feature of a Grab Block is that it can be picked up and carried around by the [[player]]. Once grabbed, it can be kicked away, to defeat [[enemies]] or to reach distant [[? Block]]s. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] holds a Grab Block, it will start to flash different colours, disappearing after a few seconds. However, if the player takes a grab block through a pipe, then it lasts indefinitely; this is most likely a glitch, |

| '''Grab Blocks''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=22|language=en-us|date=1991|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> also referred to as '''Blue Blocks''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=51|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are dark-blue [[block]]s resembling [[Rotating Block]]s appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They first appear in [[Yoshi's Island 2]]. Grab Blocks can be picked up and carried around by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], disappearing after a few seconds. Once grabbed, a Grab Block begins to flash colors, and it can be kicked away to defeat [[List of enemies|enemies]] or reach distant [[? Block|Prize Block]]s. [[Yoshi]] can eat Grab Blocks, though only after they have been activated, and he simply [[swallow]]s them. A minor [[glitch]] occurs if the player takes a Grab Block through a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], causing it to last indefinitely. | |

| A similar type of block known as the [[White Block]] has previously appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. White Blocks can be picked up, carried, and thrown much like a Grab Block, but they resemble white or light-blue [[Brick Block]]s. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a type of [[Ice Block]] has the same role as both, though it is slippery and does not self-destruct.
