- Not to be confused with Face Block.
Template:Item-infobox Face blocks[1] (or face Blocks[2]) are objects that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Each time Mario hits the block, another block pops out of the previous one. By hitting it multiple times, Mario can use the series of blocks to reach higher platforms. However, if Mario takes too long, the blocks will collapse back to normal.
History
New Super Mario Bros.
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Stretch Block. (discuss) |
Face blocks are introduced in New Super Mario Bros., starting out as a single block with a face on it. Up to four blocks can be stacked, and they can also be used to enter horizontal pipes or block enemy attacks. After a while, they will revert back into a single block.
Super Mario 3D Land
The blocks return in Super Mario 3D Land, where the main block is an ! Block. It can conjure more or less than four blocks. The blocks do not always go straight up, they go in some paths as well. The face blocks even have the same design, and the ! Block is sometimes the size of regular blocks or sometimes bigger.
Super Mario 3D World
It has been suggested that this section be merged into ? Block (Super Mario 3D World). (discuss) |
There are certain ? Blocks in Super Mario 3D World that act as face blocks, which produce Empty Blocks. In Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade and Super Block Land, there are large versions of them called Mega ? Blocks[3]. They can also be activated by tapping on the Wii U GamePad.
Super Mario Maker 2
This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
In Super Mario Maker 2, giant, yellow ! Blocks that act as face blocks appear as course elements. When hit multiple times, they produce giant Empty Blocks.[4]
