They start out as [[Dotted-Line Block]]s, but after the player hits a [[! Switch]], they become solid.

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the effect of hitting a switch to make Red Blocks solid is temporary, and the switches hit are reusable.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Red Blocks are instead activated and deactivated by giant ! Switches on the [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]] map. Red Blocks appear only in [[World 3-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-4]] and [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-5]], where activating them helps the player reach the main [[Goal Pole]] of the former and the [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret Goal Pole]] of the latter. The switch is inaccessible unless the other exits to those [[level]]s are found.

===''Super Mario Run''===
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Red Blocks work as they do in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' They appear prominently in [[Red Block Run]], but they can also be found in other courses, such as [[Switch Ghost House]].
