Mushroom Block
- This article is about the object from Super Mario Bros. 2. For yellow-colored ! Blocks also referred to as "Mushroom Blocks", see ! Block.
A Mushroom Block[1][2] is an item in Super Mario Bros. 2 and its reissues in Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance. Mushroom Blocks are mostly found above ground in castles and World 7. They can be used to defeat some enemies or stacked up to reach higher areas. They are required to be thrown in order to defeat bosses Tryclyde, Fryguy, and green/gray Birdos. Mushroom Blocks can also be found in most of the red Birdos' battle rooms. Mushroom Blocks replace the masks used in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.
Mushroom Blocks sometimes teleport a few pixels horizontally as they land on the ground after being thrown, usually if they would have otherwise landed in a place a number of pixels not divisible by 16 away from their starting location. This is because they are treated as terrain while idle and as sprites while carried and thrown.
Different worlds have Mushroom Blocks with slightly different patterns, as follows:
NES/SNES/GBA sprite | World(s) |
---|---|
Worlds 1, 3, and 5 (SNES/GBA) | |
Worlds 2 and 6 | |
World 4 | |
World 5 (NES) | |
World 7 |

Trivia
- In Doki Doki Panic, the masks in Worlds 1, 3, and 5 all use the same design. Super Mario Bros. 2 would give the Mushroom Blocks in World 5 a unique, spotted design; however, this was reverted in both Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance, where the World 5 Mushroom Blocks use the same design as the ones in Worlds 1 and 3, as in Doki Doki Panic.
