The POW Block, also occasionally referred to simply as "POW", is an item that appears in Mario Bros. (the arcade version and its ports; not the Game & Watch one). When hit, it damages all enemies in the screen. It performs the same function in Super Mario Bros. 2, but it can only be used once as the player has to throw it onto the ground to make a POW.
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, if Yoshi hits a POW block, all nearby enemies turn into stars. The POW Block didn't return in Yoshi's Island DS, the sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
In the Paper Mario series, the POW Block is an item that does two damage to all enemies (but much more in Super Paper Mario if the remote had been shaken with each corresponding prompt). It penetrates defense and makes enemies with shells (such as Koopa Troopas) turn over. It does not affect flying enemies, however, unless they are on the ceiling.
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, even though there are no POW Blocks in the game, "POW" can be seen in a license plate of cars in Mushroom City and Mushroom Bridge.
