'''Weight Blocks''' are a kind of block [[Wario]] encounters during his adventures in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'']] series. Their appearance differs between the various installments, but they all share the property that they are not breakable by any of Wario's standard attacks. Naturally, they are placed in specific places to prevent access to certain areas. To break them regardless, Wario has to assume his [[Fat Wario|Fat form]]. The additional weight he has in this form allows him to break Weight Blocks by jumping on top of them.

==History==
===''Wario Land'' series===
Weight Blocks first appear in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' aboard the [[SS Tea Cup]], and are a common obstacle throughout the game afterwards. They appear as brown blocks with some cracks in them. A [[Cook]] can usually be found near them, so that Wario is able to break them. The Weight Blocks also reappear in the sequel ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', where they change their appearance, but retain their purpose. In this game, they are bright pink in color and sport a donut symbol on them. Like in the previous game, enemies invoking the Fat ability can be found near them, namely [[Doughnuteer]] or [[Appleby]].

Not to be confused with Donut Block.
Doughnut block

Doughnut blocks,[1] or donut blocks,[2] are blocks in Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 that can be broken only from being jumped on by Fat Wario, since he is heavier than normal Wario. In Wario Land II, doughnut blocks are common obstacles, and they appear as brown blocks with some cracks in them. A Cook can often be found near doughnut blocks. Wario can eat the pieces of cake thrown by Cooks to transform into Fat Wario, allowing him to break doughnut blocks. In Wario Land 3, doughnut blocks appear as bright pink blocks sporting a doughnut symbol. If Wario eats a doughnut thrown by a Doughnuteer or an apple thrown by an Appleby, he will transform into Fat Wario and can break doughnut blocks. Doughnut blocks appear in Out of the Woods, The Peaceful Village, Sea Turtle Rocks, A Town in Chaos, Beneath the Waves, The West Crater, The Grasslands, Tower of Revival, Cave of Flames, and The Warped Void.
