| A similar type of block named the [[White Block]] was previously introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', except it resembles either a white or light-blue [[Brick Block]]. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' would go on to introduce its own similar type, [[Ice Block]], except it is slippery and does not self-destruct. | | 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. |
