They first appear in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-3]], and they appear occasionally through the rest of the game, more commonly in [[level]]s of [[Ice Land]]. White Blocks can be picked up and carried around by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], disappearing after a few seconds. Once grabbed, a White Block begins to flash colors, and it can be kicked away to defeat [[List of enemies|enemies]] or reach distant [[? Block]]s. White Blocks can also be picked up by a [[Buster Beetle]], which will throw one at high speeds towards the player. White Blocks are implied by some sources to be icy; however, unlike standard [[Ice Block]]s, they are not slippery when used as platforms. In ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', kicked White Blocks can bounce back from [[flipper]]s and damage the player.

| A similar type of block known as a [[Grab Block]] appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Grab Blocks can be picked up, carried, and thrown by players as well, but they resemble dark-blue [[Rotating Block]]s instead. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a type of Ice Block has the same role as both, though it is slippery and does not self-destruct.
