The '''Warp Block''' is a block in the ''[[Mario Party]]'' series, that when used, will transport the character who used it to another character's space. In turn, the player that they travel to will then be transported to their initial spot. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', it can be bought at the shop, and when turned on, it will appear in a random space to be automatically used when the player stops on it. In the other games, it is a buyable item that can be used any time. It appears in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. It is both [[Donkey Kong]]'s and [[Yoshi]]'s favorite item.

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]]''.


In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Warp Block was replaced by the [[Warp Pipe (item)|Warp Pipe]], and has been its successor ever since.  
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]]''.


The Warp Block is also a block in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It has a picture of a [[Warp Pipe]]. When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s (or [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s) younger or 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.
