Watermelon blocks are green with dark stripes on the outside and red on the inside; they likely derive their appearance from Japanese watermelons, some of which are grown {{wp|Square watermelon|cubed}}. [[Mario]] can destroy watermelon blocks only by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing them, making them the "opposite" of brick blocks, which can be destroyed only by [[jump]]ing underneath them. Watermelon blocks make a splashing noise when destroyed, and sometimes drop a single [[coin]].
