Block Plaza is a battle course in Mario Kart Wii. This course appears to be based on Block Fort from Mario Kart 64 and Block City from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
The course features four character statues on the blocks with Mario on the red block, Luigi on the green block, Princess Peach on the blue block, and Princess Daisy on the yellow block. There is also a large purple block in the middle of the course with a giant cube statue to help drivers get from one block to another. As players race in the course, the statues and the small blocks will sink into the ground, leaving behind bottomless pits, similar to the sinking ground in Grumble Volcano. Various sprites from Super Mario Bros. can be seen in the sky. When playing as Mii, the heads of the main character's statues are replaced by Mii heads. Daisy and Peach are changed to female Mii heads, while Mario and Luigi are changed to male Miis.
