'''Iron Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=164 and 165|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|date=November 18, 2012|isbn=978-0-307-89690-2}}</ref> are metal crates in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' that player characters can use as platforms.
==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
Iron Blocks first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are characterized as indestructible boxes moved by [[Conveyor Belt]]s, and they are sometimes infinitely spawned by characteristically defined generators. Iron Blocks come in four different variants, all of which are a combination of widths 2–4 and heights 2–4, and getting crushed by a falling Iron Block results in an immediate loss of life. They appear only in {{world-link|4|tower|World 4-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where they are the gimmick of the [[level]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
Iron Blocks are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Their behavior is largely unchanged from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They appear in [[Roy's Conveyor Castle]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''; they appear in [[Roy's Ironclad Castle]] and [[P Switch Peril]] in ''New Super Luigi U''. Additionally, the 4×4 variant features [[Bowser]]'s [[emblem]] on its visible face.

===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
Iron Blocks are objects in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They have Bowser's emblem like in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Iron Blocks can be destroyed by the [[Flying battleship (Wonder Effect)|flying battleship]]'s lasers during airship [[Wonder Effect]]s.
