'''Blocks''',<ref>"''Press the Z button while jumping to squash enemies or to destroy blocks.''" – ''Super Mario 64'' English instruction booklet, pg. 15</ref> also known as '''boxes''',<ref>"''Break the mountain of stacked boxes. You can find Coins inside.''" – ''Mario Party'', Box Mountain Mayhem instructions</ref> are, as the name entails, plain-looking [[block]]s (one described as a "sand block"<ref>Official UK Nintendo Magazine. ''Super Mario 64'' The Essential Player's Guide. Page 15.</ref> in the context of [[Shifting Sand Land]]) that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are scattered throughout the game's various courses and can be broken by most of [[Mario]]'s attacks. Some of them contain three [[coin]]s, but this is rather uncommon and most are empty. In this game, they look identical to the game's throwable [[Crate]]s, though they are much larger. Unlike Crates, they cannot be thrown, though Mario is able to stand on top of them. Blocks are occasionally activated by [[! Switch#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Purple Switch]]es in courses such as [[Wet-Dry World]] and [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. In these cases, the blocks are always empty and they are used more as platforms than containers. | '''Blocks''',<ref>"''Press the Z button while jumping to squash enemies or to destroy blocks.''" – ''Super Mario 64'' English instruction booklet, pg. 15</ref> also known as '''boxes''',<ref>"''Break the mountain of stacked boxes.
