By jumping into it from beneath (or ground pounding in some games), the Brick Block shatters, worth 10 points (50 in Super Mario Bros.). If Small Mario hits the block, it just bounces up slightly. Either way, an enemy walking on the brick will be injured. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, the item is released, regardless of Mario's status, and the Brick Block turns into a Used Block.Brick Blocks originaly going to appear in Super Mario World, Rotating Blocks appeared in final version, Rotating Blocks play similar roles and replaced the existing Brick Blocks, or some replaced by Used Blocks.
