Save Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' | Save Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', being golden-colored blocks with a rainbow "S" label and a star on top of them. When Mario jumps on one, the block takes him to the save screen, allowing the player to save their game. Additionally, Save Blocks can always be found inside [[inn]]s. The Save Block's letter S's appear in serif format in the official artwork, but they use the sans-serif format in the Save Block's in-game sprite. | ||

Save Blocks are seen again in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. This time, instead of jumping on top, they need to be hit from underneath like regular blocks. They also have a vastly different appearance, being rainbow-colored blocks labeled with a white "S" with a star inside rather than the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style blocks with a star on top seen in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. At the end of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', after Mario defeats [[Bowser]], the Save Block near the [[Toad House]] and the [[Toad Town Post Office|Post Office]] in [[Toad Town]] will be removed with its position blocked by [[Bruce]] the [[Bob-omb]] and an unnamed [[Koopa Troopa]]. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the "S" label scrolls sideways like how [[? Block]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' do. Save Blocks are also commonly found near [[Recovery Block]]s. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Save Blocks resemble their appearance from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', as they are rainbow-colored with a scrolling "S" label. | Save Blocks are seen again in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.

In the Spanish translations of ''Paper Mario'', ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' | In the Spanish translations of ''Paper Mario'', ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' and ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', the letter on the Save Blocks is changed to "G" for ''guardar'' ("to save"). Likewise, in the Dutch version of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' and ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', the letter of the Save Blocks is changed to "O" for ''opslaan'' ("to save"). | ||

In the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|first]] [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|two installments]] of the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, Save Blocks are replaced by [[Save Album]]s; however, Save Blocks are present in most of the locations of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' | In the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|first]] [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|two installments]] of the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, Save Blocks are replaced by [[Save Album]]s; however, Save Blocks are present in most of the locations of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', as well as in the form of yellow [[Emoglobin]]s in ''Bowser's Inside Story'' and its remake. In all three games, Mario and [[Luigi]] have to hit the blocks from below similar to how it is done in the ''Paper Mario'' games, while in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', [[Bowser]] has to hit the blocks by punching them. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Save Blocks are dark blue blocks that have rainbow-colored linings and "S" labels, though in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', they are blue-colored blocks with golden linings and a white-colored "S" label. Save Blocks and Save Albums are completely absent in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''; as such, the player must save from the menu. | ||
