Editing Rock Block

'''Rock Blocks''' are obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak side indicated by a red side with an X on it. Wario can break these blocks by [[Wario Punch|punching]] or [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounding]] the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Power Throw]].

Break it with eggs, leave it in shards.|author=[[Message Block]]|title=''Yoshi's Story''}}</ref> are a variety of [[block]]s appearing throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They are made of stone and typically harder to break than other blocks. They usually require the player to perform a particularly strong move or be under the effect of a specific [[power-up]] to break. In most appearances, Rock Blocks function similarly to the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Bricks]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
-There are similar objects in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] called [[Hard Block]]s, a throwable [[Stone (Super Mario Maker 2)|Stone]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and an obstruction called the [[Stone Block]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but they have different properties from the Rock Block. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the [[Brick Block]]s in the [[Wooded Kingdom]] are larger than normal and made of stone but otherwise function normally.

-===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
+[[Category: Traps and Obstacles]]
-====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
-[[File:Rock Block - Yoshi's Island.png|thumb|Rock Blocks near a [[Kaboomba]] in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.]]
-'''Cracked blocks'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|date=1995|page=28}}</ref> are found in many levels of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are large blocks made of a durable type of rock, and can only be destroyed with [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s.
-====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
-Rock Blocks return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and only [[Baby DK]] can destroy them with eggs or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].
-===''Yoshi's Story''===
-Rock blocks appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They are roughly the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', as they can only be destroyed by Yoshi Eggs. Golden rock blocks also appear in the game; they cannot be destroyed by any means.
-===''Wario World''===
-[[File:Rockblock WarioWorld.png|thumb|Wario between two Rock Blocks.]]
-A different variety of Rock Blocks appeared as obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak point indicated by a cracked side with a bandage on it. Wario can break these blocks by [[punch]]ing or Ground Pounding the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Mega Toss]]. In some areas, Rock Blocks can move upward and slam down like a [[Thwomp]] to squash Wario.
-===''Super Mario'' series===
-====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
-[[File:Grey_Brick_Block.png|frame|left]]
-Gray-colored [[Brick Block]]s working like Rock Blocks appear in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. These blocks specifically appear in the levels [[A Sky-High Adventure]] and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]], in which they appear to obstruct certain pathways. These solid blocks cannot be destroyed easily, breaking only by using the [[Hammer Suit]] or the [[Tanooki Suit]]'s [[Statue Mario|statue]] mode. Unlike Brick Blocks and [[White Block]]s, these gray blocks do not glisten.
-On the Japanese e-Reader card for Puzzling Pipe Maze, [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] claims to have invented these blocks by himself.
-====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
-In [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]], '''stone blocks'''<ref>{{cite|Fletcher, Black|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide (Collector's Edition)''|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|date=2007|page=313|isbn=978-0-76155-713-5}}</ref> cover holes needed to progress. They are destroyed when Mario collides with them on the [[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]].
-====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' ====
-[[File:SM3DW Rock Blocks.jpg|thumb|Mega Mario breaking Rock Blocks in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
-Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as a gray variation of [[Mega Block|Big Block]]s, thus resembling larger variants of the gray-colored Brick Blocks from ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. They cannot be destroyed by the player on their own (except when under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]]); therefore, the player must make use of other means to break them, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[cannonball]]s, having them be hit by a [[Conkdor]], among others.
-In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', throwing a [[Green Shell]] at a Rock Block destroys it.
-====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
-In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', [[Hard Block]]s take the form of Rock Blocks in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' level style.
-====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
-Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' in [[Jewel-Block Cave]]'s [[Wonder Effect]], where it can only be destroyed by either the [[Wonder Konk]]{{derived}} or [[Giant Spiked Ball]]s.
-===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
-Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], where they are identical to the ''Super Mario 3D World'' version.
-===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
-Rock Blocks return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', as obstacles that can be broken by the [[Trio Hammer]] move. They appear primarily in [[Doop Doop Dunes]].
