A '''POW Block''', occasionally '''POW'''<ref name=Power>{{cite|date=1988|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=19}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1990|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=28|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1993|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page=[[Media:SMAS Guide 88.jpg|88]]|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and standing for '''power block'''<ref name=Power/> (also spelled '''Power Block'''),<ref>{{cite|date=May/June 1989|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 6|page=81|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is a [[block]] that can be thrown to the ground or hit in the air to create a large earthquake, causing all enemies onscreen to get hurt. POW Blocks can be carried and thrown in most games, and some are required for a 100% game [[completion]]. Most POW Blocks are a metallic blue, but some POW Blocks are red or sometimes green.

[[File:MB Arcade POW Block.gif|frame]]

The POW Block is an item that first appears in the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' arcade game. When hit, it damages all enemies in the screen, but only those that are on the ground. It can be hit three times before it disappears. Each time it gets hit, it flattens up.

 

In the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], there are two POW Blocks per phase set, and they can be picked up. However, throwing the picked up POW Block results in it completely disappearing, regardless of how many times it was hit before.

====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance'' ====

The POW has the same function in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as it had in ''Mario Bros.'', but it can only be used once, as the player has to grab and throw it onto the ground to activate it. ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' introduces a large version of the POW Block known as the '''Giant POW Block''',<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=11|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Big POW''',<ref>{{cite|author=Arnold, J.

Unlike in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and other games, the word "POW" is animated.

 

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a single POW Block is found in the [[World-e]] level [[Koopaling Confusion]]. It uses the same sprite as in ''Mario Bros.'' for the Game Boy Advance, but it is thrown like the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Unlike those games, it also works with airborne enemies like [[Bullet Bill]]s.

[[File:NSMBW POW Block Sprite.png|frame|right|100px]]

{{main|Red POW Block}}

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', POW Blocks only appear as a red variation, being the [[Red POW Block]]s.<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' European English manual{{page needed}}</ref> Unlike the blue type, they cannot be picked up and only affect a small radius around them. Instead, they hit and break blocks and start chain reactions with other Red POW Blocks.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

Blue POW Blocks reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|Nintendo Switch port]], looking and behaving just as they do in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

In the Mainland China release of ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'' on Tencent Nintendo Switch, the letters on the POW Block were modified to what appears to be three zeroes.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/chinesenintendo/status/1239427421192900608|author=Chinese Nintendo|publisher=X|language=en|date=March 15, 2020|accessdate=June 5, 2024|title=POW blocks are retextured as <nowiki>"]0["</nowiki> blocks in the Chinese version of NSMBUDX.}}</ref> This is possibly to comply with the local regulations that disapprove of using untranslated English words in video games.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' ====

A giant POW Block known as the '''Super POW Block'''<ref name=SM3DW>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=19|date=November 22, 2013|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-804-16249-4}}</ref> appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Nintendo Switch port]] at the end of [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]], which needs to be hit four times in order to defeat [[Meowser]].

The classic blue POW Block also appears in the port of ''Mario Bros.'', ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'', included in ''Super Mario 3D World''.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====

Blue POW Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''; this time, they are shown to be flashing in the ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles. Blue POW Blocks also appear in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, but they can be changed into the [[Red POW Block|red variant]] found in the base game. In nighttime underwater and Ghost House levels, POW Blocks illuminate the area around them.

 

 

 

 

 

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], if Yoshi hits a POW Block, all nearby enemies turn into [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|stars]]. It only appears in The Cave of the Lakitus, but appears twice in that one level. They can be hit thrice before it disappears. [[Special Item (Yoshi's Island series)|Special Item]]s based on POW Blocks are most commonly won in [[Bonus Challenge]]s, where they could be used almost anywhere afterward, being called [[Anywhere POW]]s.

In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', POW Blocks appear in certain stages, serving the same purpose as in ''Yoshi's Island''. Special POW Blocks also appear in the minigame, [[Enemy Eat-Off]]. Here, they are white with green spots (similar to an [[Egg Block]]) and a [[Yoshi Egg]] replacing the "O" letter. When hit, it turns every enemy on the stage into Yoshi Eggs.

 

POW Blocks are a [[stage]] feature of [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' If a fighter hits the POW Block, all other fighters touching the ground are damaged and get launched vertically. The POW Block appears throughout the Mushroom Kingdom stage randomly in set locations, and it appears elsewhere on the stage after being hit. A POW Block also appears as a stage element in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]] stage, where it can paralyze all enemies onscreen, allowing them to be picked up and thrown at others. Similarly as in ''Super Smash Bros.'', the POW Block disappears after being hit a few times, although it always regenerates in the same location. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', POW Blocks appear in both the returning Mushroom Kingdom and Mario Bros. stages.

POW Blocks are introduced as usable items in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and return as such in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When thrown, a POW Block causes shock waves upon landing that can cause damage to anyone who is on the ground.

{{PM item infobox

|image=[[File:PaperMario Items POWBlock.png]] [[File:POW Block TTYD.png]] [[File:POW Block SPM.png]] [[File:POW Block PMTTYDNS icon.png|50px]]

|pm=Flips shell enemies and inflicts 2 damage points on all enemies.

|ttyd=Attacks all enemies and does 2 damage, flipping shelled enemies. (Switch)

In the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], the POW Block is a portable item that does two damage to all enemies (but much more in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' if the remote had been shaken with each corresponding prompt). It penetrates defense and makes enemies with [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s (such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s) flip over.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the POW Block affects all enemies on the screen, including flying enemies and enemies on the ceiling such as [[Swoop|Swoopers]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', POW Blocks appear as stickers, taking their design from how they have commonly appeared since ''Mario Bros.'' When used, a POW Block appears, which Mario hits twice to inflict damage to enemies and occasionally inflict the [[Immobilized|Crumpled]] status. Unlike the previous iterations, however, the POW block affects only foes on the ground. The sticker also has a Shiny and Flashy POW Block variant, which deal more damage. It can be purchased in [[Decalburg]], and it is set in the [[Sticker Museum]] as No. 73.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', POW Blocks appear as Battle Cards, with the same behavior as they had in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. POW Blocks also appear outside of battle in [[Kiwano Temple]], where one is used to flip some spikes, and [[Violet Passage]], where they can be hit with a [[cannonball]] in order to collect [[coin]]s.

POW Blocks return as items that can be used in battle in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''; they serve the same purpose, although Mario can only carry three at a time. In a side room in the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]], a POW Block is used to stop a blue [[Sidestepper]] that is carrying the [[Groovy Panel]]. It is positioned high up, so Mario has to hammer the wall to cause it to drop down to jumping height. Another POW Block appears on [[? Island]], where it can be used to activate all of the [[? Block]]s at once. POW Blocks carried as items are now hit once when used in battle rather than twice, and they can stun all enemies on the ground for one turn. They can be bought exclusively in Toad Town for 160 coins. Despite not being flying enemies, [[Boo]]s and [[Blooper]]s are also immune to POW Blocks, since they float slightly above the ground.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====

Although the POW Block itself does not make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the letters, "POW", is the license plate of numerous cars in [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]].

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series====

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', the POW Block is one of [[Waluigi]]'s special items. When used, a random racer is stunned for about seven seconds. POW Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', where it is used in the same way as in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''.

[[File:POW Block - Mario Kart Wii.png|thumb|left|The POW Block, as it appears in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]

[[File:MKW POW Block Hit.png|thumb|Peach getting hit by the POW Block.]]

The POW Block makes its console ''Mario Kart'' game debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as one of the new items. It is supposedly the rarest item in the game (though players will have a slightly higher chance of obtaining it in VS races), and players can obtain this item if they are anywhere from 5th to 9th place, with CPU-controlled drivers also being able to obtain it in 10th place. The highest chance of obtaining this item is in 7th place, with a 3 out of 40 (7.5%) chance of obtaining it in said position. It is one of six items wherein only one can be in play at a time (the other five being the [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[Blooper]], and [[Lightning]]), is one of four items with a cooldown timer for the first few seconds of a race (the other three being the Spiny Shell, Blooper, and Lightning), and is one of three items with a cooldown timer between uses (the other two being the Blooper and Lightning). POW Blocks are unobtainable for the first twenty seconds of a race, and once a POW Block is used, twenty seconds must elapse before another POW Block is obtainable.

When the POW Block is dispatched by the player who receives it from an Item Box, all racers ahead of the user find POW Blocks above their karts. The POW Block makes the racers ahead of the user spin out in a similar way to that caused by a [[Banana]], except that they lose all of their current items and come to a complete stop if it hits them. Players will not be affected by the POW Block if the third strike goes off while they are in midair. Players can also avoid it by starting a wheelie, or shaking their controller (like doing a jump [[trick]]) right when the third strike goes off. By doing this, they still spin out and lose items but retain their momentum. It is also possible to avoid it by doing a [[Hop (move)|hop]] right at the third strike but requires perfect timing. When players have a [[Super Star|Star]], [[Mega Mushroom]], or [[Bullet Bill]] activated or if they are flying through the air after being shot out of a cannon, they will not get affected by the POW Block. The letters "POW" can be seen as a license plate on all of the cars in [[Moonview Highway]]. The POW Block also received a [[List of Mario Kart Wii trading cards|trading card]], alongside the other items that appear in the game. If the player gets a POW Block and then uses it, the POW Block appears above the user's kart. It flattens above the user, but it will not hit them, as the POW Block hits only all racers ahead of the user. If used in {{classic-link|N64|Mario Raceway}}, it causes the [[Piranha Plant]]s to jump into the air. If used in {{classic-link|N64|Sherbet Land}}, it causes the [[penguin]]s to spin out. Also, if the player is behind the user, the POW Block sound can still be heard, but the screen will not shake. In [[Battle Mode]], the POW Block can only be obtained in Coin Runners and will cause all players on the opposing team to lose coins, unless they are in midair or avoid the attack by shaking their controller. This is so far the only non-arcade ''Mario Kart'' game the POW Block appears as a usable item, making it, the [[Thunder Cloud]], and the [[Fake Item Box]] (though it has also appeared in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'') the only three usable items in ''Mario Kart Wii'' not to reappear in any future non-arcade installments.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===

====''Mario Power Tennis''====

POW Blocks make an appearance in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' on the [[Mario Classic Court]]. A POW Block moves back and forth across the net. If a player hits the ball through it, all enemies become stunned, allowing the player to defeat them by running into them (this counts as one of two hits needed to stun [[Sidestepper]]s; [[Freezie]]s are defeated instantly). POW Blocks cannot hit Fighter Flies when they are airborne though, but they could be defeated if the player hits the POW block at the correct time. After a certain number of hits, it disappears. After a while, it respawns. Stunned enemies who got hit by the POW block resumes walking after a period of time if the player leaves them alone. POW Blocks also appear in the mini-game [[Coin Collectors]]. The positions can be changed by hitting a POW Block with a tennis ball.

====''Mario Tennis Open''====

In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', the POW Block has its own [[Mii]] gear, including a racket, uniform, wristbands, and shoes. The POW Block gear generally increases serve and stroke powers while also increasing speed.

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===

[[File:YT&G POWBlock.png|frame]]

Green-colored POW Blocks appear in the Challenge mode of ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. They spawn while being carried on a balloon, and can drop if hit by an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] thrown by Yoshi. A POW Block defeats all enemies on screen when activated, causing the enemies to leave coins behind depending on their point value.

POW Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' in the form of '''POW Balls''' as an unlockable error item. They are unlocked when a certain Treasure Chest is opened in Mario Stadium. When used, it stuns fielding players for about four seconds. If an outfielder jumps at the right timing, they can avoid the POW Ball shockwaves. If the POW Ball itself hit the outfielder, then only the outfielder gets knocked out and the POW Ball disappears, with no tremor effect on the ground. Levitating and flying characters such as [[Boo]] and [[Paragoomba]] are unaffected by the shockwaves, but can be hit by the actual POW Ball.

 

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===

In the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], POW Blocks most commonly appear as items. In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', POW Blocks appear as an item in [[Dream Ice Hockey]], where they will knock over all of the characters on the opposing team after a short amount of time, as well as in [[Dream Snowball Fight]], where they briefly stun everyone on the opposing team. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', POW Blocks are items in the [[Plus Event]], [[Boxing Plus]], where they stun the opponent and prevent them from moving, performing punches, and guarding. The game also features POW Blocks in [[Football Plus]], where three will fall, one after the other, by the player who received the item, and knock over any nearby characters, including goalkeepers. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', POW Blocks are items in the [[Dream Event]], [[Dream Karate]].

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', POW Blocks appear as obstacles on the Coin Street rink of [[Snow Day Street Hockey]], where hitting them knocks down every opponent, briefly stunning them. After being used, the POW Blocks respawn in their positions after a short amount of time.

===''Mario Party 9''===

While POW Blocks do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', there is a type of space in the [[High Rollers]] mode called the [[POW Space]], and if a player rolls over it, the values of all spaces around it decrease by 10.

POW Blocks reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] acting similarly to previous games. To activate them, the player needs to throw a [[turnip]] at them or by touching them on the GamePad.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140611214822/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_vsfIMs3o4&gl=US&hl=en|title=Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Mine Cart Summit|date=June 11, 2014|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 5, 2024|language=en}}</ref>

 

{{quote|Given what these POW Blocks are capable of, I'm actually pretty glad it's broken.|Beep-0|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', giant POW Blocks appear in the background of [[Sherbet Desert]]. [[Beep-0]] states these POW Blocks are broken and do not have any effect. Two [[Rabbid]]s climb up and down the "P" in one of them, where Beep-0 expresses relief that the POW Block is broken.

 

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', POW Blocks appear as items that can be bought or found while exploring. In battle, heroes can throw them at enemies, dealing heavy damage and destroying cover in an area. If the game is linked with an Ubisoft Connect account, a POW Block can be added to the player's inventory by redeeming 30 units upon clearing the prologue.

 

 

 

[[File:MarioBiTS.jpg|thumb|120px|The POW Block, at the bottom left corner.]]

In ''[[Art Style: PiCTOBiTS]]'', POW Blocks are used to erase all the bits in the bottom part. Once it is used, it consumes one restore space.

 

In ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'', a POW Block face appears on the "Power-Up Die". Rolling the POW Block normally forces all other players to drop one Coin on their current space, which can be picked up by the next player who passes over or lands on that space. Some Characters have a "Power-Up Boost" that enhances or modifies this power.

 

In the [[NES Remix (series)|''NES Remix'' series]], POW Blocks appear in some of the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''-based challenges, and in ''[[NES Remix 2]]'', they appear in various ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' remix challenges.

 

 

 

**'''Description:''' ''Here's a blast from the past! Hit a POW Block and all coins will fall to the ground for easy pick up. Use this time wisely to collect all the coins you can.
