==History==
'''Stretch Blocks'''<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 58.</ref> are [[block]]s composed of five segments which constantly extend and retract up and down or left and right. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they serve as a bridge in certain levels. Stretch Blocks also make an appearance in some [[World-e]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
===''Super Mario'' series===
Stretch Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they serve as bridges in certain [[level]]s, and are made up of blocks that resemble pale-colored versions of [[Rotating Block]]s.


Stretch Blocks also appear in two [[World-e]] levels in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': [[Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3)|Slip Slidin' Away]] and [[Rich with Ropes]]. In this game, they actually use the same yellow color as regular Rotating Blocks from ''Super Mario World''.
Stretch Blocks make another appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they appear at the end of [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. In this game, they are now orange, rather than yellow, unlike in ''Super Mario World''. However, these blocks will move up or down as they extend and retract.


Stretch Blocks make another appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they appear at the end of [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. In this game, they are colored orange and move up or down as they extend and retract.
Stretch Blocks make their latest appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in [[Rock-Candy Mines]] as an integral part of navigating the world; they are color-coded red and blue, and will extend or retract depending on which colored switch is hit. They also appear in some levels with their ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' appearance. This time, however, they blink just before they stretch or retract.

U]]'', Stretch Blocks appear in [[Rock-Candy Mines]] as an integral part of navigating the [[world]]; they are color-coded red and blue, and they extend or retract depending on which colored switch is hit.

Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Stretch Blocks appear in the [[Acorn Plains]] section of the stage.
