They are often tougher than regular Brick Blocks, requiring a number of hits to destroy or being indestructible altogether. However, in some games, namely 2D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' titles, they act like their smaller counterparts.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. However, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', these Giant Brick Blocks are indestructible (as they are too big) and act as platforms rather than Brick Blocks. These are found only in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. They use the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' design, rather than the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' design of normal Brick Blocks. |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| |
| Big Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario All-Stars|its]] [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remakes]], where they are only found in [[Giant Land]]. They are two times bigger than normal Brick Blocks; in spite of their size, they can be destroyed as any other Brick Block by [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or a regular [[Koopa Shell]]. Exclusively in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', they can also be broken by tail-whipping them as [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]].

| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| |
| These blocks reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', working as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as they are able to be destroyed by Super Mario or Koopa Shells. They are found only in [[Soda Jungle]], most notably in the [[Jungle of the Giants]] level. | | These blocks reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

| Big Blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where they are four times bigger than a normal Brick Block. They can be destroyed by jumping beneath them and/or tail-whipping them five times, [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] them in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or better, using a [[Mega Mushroom]], or hitting a nearby [[POW Block]]. They only appear in [[Super Block Land]]. Gray variants of Big Blocks known as [[Rock Block]]s also appear, which are slightly smaller but much stronger. These blocks can only be destroyed by [[Mega Mario]], [[Cannon Box]]es, or [[Bob-omb]] explosions.

| | |
| ====''Super Mario Run''====
| |
| Mega Blocks appear under their current name in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', where they can be collected as buildings for [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Kingdom Builder]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
| |
| Big Blocks reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the [[Safe by a Sandslide]] mission. They only require a single hammer hit to destroy.
| |
| | |
| ===''Paper Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
| |
| Big Blocks return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' in [[Mondo Woods]]. They are normal Brick Blocks that were enchanted by [[Kamek]]. Big Blocks cannot be broken unless they are colored. They also appear in the [[Violet Passage]] in the coin segment, where they can be destroyed by [[Cannonball]]s, and in the [[Mustard Café]], where one blocks the orange [[Warp Pipe]] leading to the surface at the end of the underground caves.
| |
| | |
| ====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
| |
| Mega Blocks appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', working like they did in ''Super Mario 3D World''. They come in two sizes: twice as big (which take three hits to destroy) and even bigger (which take seven hits to break); successful hammer [[Action Command]]s lessen the amount of hits needed to break them. They appear during the [[Trial of Power]] on [[Diamond Island]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
| |
| Mega Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', as the most basic form of cover in the game. They normally take three hits to destroy, but some weapons may destroy them instantly.
