White Blocks first appear in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-3]] and occasionally in later levels, like in [[Ice Land]]. Either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can pick up and carry a White Block, causing it to flash colors, but it disappears after a few seconds. A White Block can be kicked away to defeat [[List of enemies|enemies]] or hit [[? Block]]s. [[Buster Beetle]]s also pick up and throw White Blocks, but at a faster speed. White Blocks are suggested to have [[ice]]-related properties, but they do not give the player slippery traction if walked on. In ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', if a White Block is kicked at a [[flipper]], it can bounce back at the player character and damage him.
