Red POW Blocks first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''; they are the only POW Block type in the game. They cannot be picked up, so they must be activated by hitting them normally. While they cannot defeat on-screen enemies out of its range or drop midair coins, their tremors can hit nearby blocks and start a chain reaction with other nearby Red POW Blocks.
Red POW Blocks first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in which they are the only POW Block variant that makes an appearance. They cannot picked up, so they must be activated by hitting them normally. In addition, they start a chain reaction with one another when activated; while they cannot defeat on-screen enemies out of its range or drop midair coins, their tremors can hit nearby blocks.
