They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels, and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They consist of a set of blocks that start out as a normal platform and begin to move like a snake when stepped on by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Snake Blocks can turn left, right, up, or down as they follow a predetermined course over obstacles such as a wide pool of [[lava]], a bed of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s, or a bottomless [[pit]]. Mario must continue to move and follow it when on these blocks, otherwise they keep moving under Mario's feet, and he may possibly fall off.

Snake Blocks most likely get their name from the classic arcade game ''{{wp|Snake (video game genre)|Snake}}'', in which the player controls a sequence of dots that resemble a serpent.
