'''Mega Blocks''', also known as '''Big Blocks''',<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 19.</ref> are large [[Brick Block]]s. They are often tougher than regular Brick Blocks, requiring a number of hits to destroy or being indestructible altogether. However, in some games, namely 2D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' titles, they act like their smaller counterparts.

Big Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario All-Stars|its]] [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remakes]], where they are only found in [[Giant Land]]. They are two times bigger than normal Brick Blocks; in spite of their size, they can be destroyed as any other Brick Block by [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or a regular [[Koopa Shell]]. Exclusively in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', they can also be broken by tail-whipping them as [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]].

Big Blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where they are four times bigger than a normal Brick Block. They can be destroyed by jumping beneath them and/or tail-whipping them five times, [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] them in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or better, using a [[Mega Mushroom]], or hitting a nearby [[POW Block]]. They only appear in [[Super Block Land]]. Gray variants of Big Blocks known as [[Rock Block]]s also appear, which are slightly smaller but much stronger. These blocks can only be destroyed by [[Mega Mario]], [[Cannon Box]]es, or [[Bob-omb]] explosions.

Mega Blocks appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', working like they did in ''Super Mario 3D World''. They come in two sizes: twice as big (which take three hits to destroy) and even bigger (which take seven hits to break); successful hammer [[Action Command]]s lessen the amount of hits needed to break them. They appear during the [[Trial of Power]] on [[Diamond Island]].
