'''Water Block''' is one of [[Sushie]]'s attacks in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It boosts up [[Mario]]'s defense by one point. To make the move last longer, the player must press {{button|n64|A}}, timed as the red stars light up. Water Block is a Super Rank attack and costs three Flower Points. Because it surrounds Mario in water, any fire attacks against him will be reduced by more than all other attack types, rendering Mario nearly invulnerable to them. This move is similar to [[Watt]]'s [[Turbo Charge]]; it increases a stat by one for an amount of turns which depends on how well the attack is executed.

Water Block is one of the moves available to Sushie in Paper Mario upon reaching Super Rank. At the cost of three FP Sushie will hop in front of Mario and envelop him in a block of water that looks similar to the blocks that can be smashed by Mario's hammer.

While the block is in effect, Mario will take one less damage from normal attacks, and two less damage from fire-based attacks and Bob-omb explosions. However electric attacks, attacks that involve mashing A to finish the attack quicker (such as the Jungle Fuzzy's Leech Attack), and Bombshell Bill explosions will ignore the extra defense provided by Water Block.

The block's duration will depend on the action command: the player must press A Button as the red stars light up, and each successful input will add a turn to the Water Block, resulting in up to 4 turns. Reapplying the move while it is in effect will not extend its counter, but simply reset it.

In Super Mario-kun, volume 26, during a fight with Lava Piranha, Sushie uses this ability. As in the game, it serves as a shield.
