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]]''.

Rock Blocks are nearly identical to later appearances in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', being hit once to be cracked open.

'''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.

Rock Blocks return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and only [[Baby DK]] can destroy them with eggs or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].

 

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.

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 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.

 

====''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.

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.
