The '''Warp Block''' is a block in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series that, when used, will transport a character who hits it to another character's space. In turn, the player that they travel to will then be transported to their initial spot. It appears in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

The '''Warp Block''' (referred to as the '''Warp Box''' in ''[[Melon Mayhem]]'') is an item in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. It is a [[block]] that transports the user to another player's space and then swaps that player over to where the user was. It appears in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.
 
Similar equivalents to the Warp Block in later ''Mario Party'' titles include the [[Warp Pipe]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' through ''[[Mario Party 7|7]]'', the [[Warp Dice Block]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', the [[Warp Box]] in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', and the [[Swap Mirror]] in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''.

===''Mario Party'' series===
===''Mario Party''===
In ''Mario Party'', it can be bought at the [[Mushroom Shop]], and when turned on, it will appear in a random space to be automatically used when the player stops on it.
The Warp Block is used in place of a [[Dice Block]] for the player's turn in ''Mario Party''. It is depicted as a colorful block with question marks on each side. The Warp Block can be bought at a [[Toad's Shop|Mushroom Shop]]. If the user switches positions with a player who has a [[Poison Mushroom|Poisonous Mushroom]], the space where the latter lands only changes the color of their Player Panel.


In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Mario Party 3'', the Warp Block can be purchased at the [[Item Shop]] on the board or obtained from the [[Item mini-game]]. It can be used anytime. It is also [[Yoshi]]'s favorite item.
===''Mario Party 2''===
The Warp Block costs 15 [[Coin]]s (17 in [[Bowser Land]]) to buy at an [[Item Shop]] in ''Mario Party 2''. It can also be obtained during an [[Minigame#Item minigames|Item mini-game]]. The Warp Block is [[Yoshi]]'s favorite item, so he prioritizes acquiring it as a CPU. Unlike before, the player can use the regular Dice Block the same turn.


In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Warp Block is replaced by the [[Warp Pipe (item)|Warp Pipe]], and has been its successor ever since, though Yoshi's bio in the ''Mario Party 4'' instruction booklet mentions them, possibly referring to [[Warp Space (Mario Party 4)|Warp Spaces]].
===''Mario Party 3''===
The Warp Block has the same role in ''Mario Party 3'', except it costs only five coins.


''[[Mario Party DS]]'' has an item analog to the Warp Block, called the [[Warp Dice Block]]. It doesn't switch the character who used it with another character. Instead, it lets the user warp to a random space.
===''Mario Party Superstars''===
The Warp Block returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' with the same function as in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Mario Party 3'', except it costs 7 coins to buy at an Item Shop. It is now designed with a shifting rainbow color and two light blue circular arrows on a side. It also receives a variation, the [[Super Warp Block]], exclusive to the final five turns or from an Item Bag.


In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', the [[Warp Box]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' takes on the Warp Block's role, teleporting the player to a chosen rival's space when used, but does not swap places with the rival, and the Warp Pipe item is absent.
==Profiles==
 
===''Mario Party Superstars''===
The Warp Block returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' with its physical appearance redesigned; the rainbow color is now shifting and the question marks on all sides are replaced by two circular arrows that appear on one side, instead of all sides. It takes on its same role as in ''Mario Party'', ''Mario Party 2'', and ''Mario Party 3'' and it behaves similarly to the Warp Box.

Warp Blocks appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' with a different design than in the ''Mario Party'' series. It is blue and has a picture of a [[Warp Pipe]] on one side. When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s (or [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s) younger/older selves are too far away, if one pair hits a Warp Block, a Warp Pipe will appear and shoot their companions out.

History[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

The Warp Block is used in place of a Dice Block for the player's turn in Mario Party. It is depicted as a colorful block with question marks on each side. The Warp Block can be bought at a Mushroom Shop. If the user switches positions with a player who has a Poisonous Mushroom, the space where the latter lands only changes the color of their Player Panel.

Mario Party 2[edit]

The Warp Block costs 15 Coins (17 in Bowser Land) to buy at an Item Shop in Mario Party 2. It can also be obtained during an Item mini-game. The Warp Block is Yoshi's favorite item, so he prioritizes acquiring it as a CPU. Unlike before, the player can use the regular Dice Block the same turn.

Mario Party 3[edit]

The Warp Block has the same role in Mario Party 3, except it costs only five coins.

Mario Party Superstars[edit]

The Warp Block returns in Mario Party Superstars with the same function as in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3, except it costs 7 coins to buy at an Item Shop. It is now designed with a shifting rainbow color and two light blue circular arrows on a side. It also receives a variation, the Super Warp Block, exclusive to the final five turns or from an Item Bag.
