A Brick Block as seen in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

A Brick Block is a block that has made an appearance in nearly every Mario platformer to date. As its name implies, Brick Blocks are blocks made of bricks. Their first appearance was in Super Mario Bros..

In all Mario platformer games, Mario or Luigi could only break this block as Super Mario (or Super Luigi) or another form of Super Mario, such as Fire Mario. By jumping into it from beneath, the Brick Block would shatter, giving the player ten points. If Small Mario hit the block, it would just bounce up slightly. Either way, an enemy walking on the brick will be injured. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, the item would be released, regardless of Mario's status, and the Brick Block would turn into a Used Block.

Brick Blocks can contain:

In Super Mario Sunshine, Brick Blocks appeared again, this time filled with sand. However, they are otherwise no different from their earlier counterparts. Starting in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Brick Blocks could also be Ground Pounded to break them.

Brick Blocks appear in the game Super Mario Galaxy along with ? Blocks.

Brick Blocks also appear in other games, such as the Paper Mario games.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games in the event Dream Snowball Fight, Brick Blocks are used as walls to guard any characters behind them from opponents' snowballs.

Brick Blocks reappear in the Nintendo 3DS Mario game, Super Mario 3D Land.
