White Blocks, also referred to as Ice Blocks[1][2][3] or blue blocks,[4] are light blue blocks resembling Brick Blocks that appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 and its reissue, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. White Blocks can be picked up and carried around by Mario or Luigi, disappearing after a few seconds. Once grabbed, a White Block begins to flash colors, and can be kicked away to defeat enemies or reach distant ? Blocks. They first appear in World 3-3. White Blocks can also be picked up by a Buster Beetle, which will throw it at high speeds towards the player. In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, kicked White Blocks can bounce back from flippers and damage the player. They are implied by some sources to be icy, however unlike standard Ice Blocks they are not slippery when used as platforms.

The Grab Block, appearing in Super Mario World, is identical except for resembling a Rotating Block. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a type of Ice Block has the same role as both, though they are slippery and do not self-destruct.
