The '''Warp Block''' (referred to as the '''Warp Box''' in ''[[Melon Mayhem]]'') is a block in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series that, when used, will transport a character who hits it to another character's space. In turn, the player that they travel to will then be transported to their initial spot. It appears in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

==History==
In ''Mario Party'', it can be bought at the [[Mushroom Shop]], and when turned on, it will appear in place of the regular [[Dice Block]] to be automatically used; using it counts as the player's turn.

In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Mario Party 3'', the Warp Block can be purchased at the [[Item Shop]] on the board or obtained from the [[Minigame#Item minigames|Item mini-game]]. It can be used anytime. It is also [[Yoshi]]'s favorite item. Unlike in ''Mario Party'', the player can roll the regular Dice Block after using it without the need of a [[Mushroom Space]].

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Warp Block is replaced by the [[Warp Pipe (item)|Warp Pipe]], and has been its successor ever since, though Yoshi's bio in the ''Mario Party 4'' instruction booklet mentions them, possibly intended to be referring to [[Warp Space]]s instead.

''[[Mario Party DS]]'' has an item analog to the Warp Block, called the [[Warp Dice Block]]. It does not switch the character who used it with another character. Instead, it lets the user warp to a random space.

In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', the [[Warp Box]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' takes on the Warp Block's role, teleporting the player to a chosen rival's space when used, but does not swap places with the rival, and the Warp Pipe item is absent.

After a long absence, the Warp Block returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', albeit with a different appearance: the rainbow color is now shifting, and the question marks on all sides are replaced by two light blue circular arrows that appear on one side, instead of all sides. It reprises its function from ''Mario Party 2'' and ''3''. A variation of this item, the [[Super Warp Block]], is introduced in this game, and can only appear during the final five turns or from an Item Bag.
