A '''Board''' is a square-shaped yellow platform that hovers above the ground. It is found in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Boards usually come in pairs. When [[Mario]] jumps on one of the platforms the other one revolves around it. When Mario jumps to the next Board, the platform he was previously standing one begins to revolve around the one he is currently standing on. Thus, these platforms can be used to cross [[lava]]-filled rooms or to reach [[Treasure Chest|Treasure Boxes]] that are too high for Mario to reach with his jumping ability. Not all Boards move the same speed; some move fast while others move slow. As such, Mario has to plan his jumps accordingly. The exact scientific reason for why Boards operate the way they do is unknown.<ref name="page 22">''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 22.</ref>

Blocks, also known as tiles or Boards,[1] are objects in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. These yellow square-shaped panels hover above the ground and function as platforms, and they usually appear in pairs. When Mario jumps onto a block, the other revolves around it. When he jumps to the next one, the platform that he was previously standing on begins to revolve around the one he is currently standing on. Blocks can be used to cross lava-filled rooms or to reach treasure boxes that are otherwise too high to reach. Some blocks move quicker than others. Other blocks that do not move in this way occasionally appear, such as in Dr. Topper's room and in Rose Way. Blocks first appear in the level Bandit's Way in the Mushroom Kingdom. Many individuals have traveled to Bandit's Way to see the blocks for themselves.[2] These blocks closely resemble the Rotating Blocks of Super Mario World.
