'''P Blocks''' are objects in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' that can be placed in every [[level]] style. Similar to [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, they are activated or deactivated whenever the player hits a [[P Switch]]; they are outlined when deactivated, and when activated, they become solid blocks that cannot be destroyed by any means. Due to the effect being temporary, the blocks operate in a similar way to the [[Dotted-Line Block]]s from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its sequels.

P Blocks are objects in Super Mario Maker 2 that can be placed in every level style. Similar to ON/OFF Switches, they are activated or deactivated whenever the player hits a P Switch; they are outlined when deactivated, and when activated, they become solid blocks that cannot be destroyed by any means. Due to the effect being temporary, the blocks operate in a similar way to the Dotted-Line Blocks from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its sequels.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, yellow blocks similar to P Blocks appear in the room containing the second 10-flower coin in the level The Midway Trial: Hop to It. These blocks do not have the letter "P" printed onto them and are instead activated by a ! Switch.

Prior to the P Block's debut, in Super Mario World, some Hidden Blocks can be revealed only by pressing Blue P-Switches, making them similar to P Blocks.
