It has been requested that this article be rewritten. Reason: it needs to focus on a specific "rock block" and not just every block that happens to be rocky (tagged on 23:14, 2 March 2015 (EST))

Rock Blocks are a variety of blocks found in various games. Their physical appearance and function changes radically based on the series they appear in.

History

Mario & Wario

A large Rock Block from Mario & Wario.

Rock Blocks first appeared as Hibi Blocks. They are nearly identical to later appearances, being hit once to be cracked open.

Yoshi series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

A Kaboomba and some Rock Blocks.

Rock Blocks were found in many levels of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In the Yoshi series, Rock Blocks are large blue blocks made of a durable type of rock. Rock Blocks could only be destroyed with Yoshi Eggs.

Yoshi's Story

Rock Blocks next appeared in Yoshi's Story. They are roughly the same as their previous appearance, as they could only be destroyed by Yoshi Eggs. Golden Rock Blocks also appeared in the game; they could not be destroyed by any means.

Yoshi's Island DS

The Rock Blocks from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island return in Yoshi's Island DS, and only Baby Donkey Kong can destroy them with eggs or a ground pound.

Wario World

Wario next between two Rock Blocks.

A different variety of Rock Blocks[1] appeared as obstacles that Wario encountered during the events of Wario World. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak point indicated by a cracked side with a bandage on it. Wario can break these blocks by punching or Ground Pounding the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a Piledriver, Wild Swing-Ding, or Power Throw. In some areas, Rock Blocks can move upward and slam down like a Thwomp to squash Wario.

Super Mario 3D World

Rock Blocks[2] reappear in Super Mario 3D World as a large grey Brick Block. They cannot be destroyed by any special moves (except when under the effects of a Mega Mushroom), therefore, the player must make use of other means to break them, such as Bob-ombs, cannonballs, having them be hit by a Conkdor, among others.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Rock Blocks reappear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, where they are identical to the Super Mario 3D World version.
