'''Dotted-Line Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet|page=49|date=2002|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|language=en}}</ref> (originally formatted without a hyphen)<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=21|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1991|language=en}}</ref> are transparent objects appearing in a variety of games in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], such as ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]), ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They represent that they can be solid when a switch is triggered, rather than blocks appearing from nothing. In ''Super Mario World'', they come in four colors and turn into [[! Block]]s once the player hits the [[! Switch]] in the [[Switch Palace]] of the corresponding color. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', after the player hits a nearby ! Switch, the Dotted-Line Blocks temporarily become ! Blocks and are able to be used as [[platform]]s. Dotted-Line Blocks in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' can turn into and revert from [[Red Block|red block]]s after the player presses the red ! Switches in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]]. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Super Mario Run'', red (yellow in ''Run'') ! Switches can change Dotted-Line Blocks into red blocks for a limited time.
'''Dotted Line Blocks''' (sometimes formatted as '''Dotted-Line Blocks'''<ref>''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet, page 49.</ref>) are transparent objects found in several [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]] such as ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They represent that they can be solid when a switch is triggered rather than blocks appearing from nothing. In ''Super Mario World'', they come in four colors and turn into [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]]s once the player hits the [[! Switch]] in the [[Switch Palace]] of the corresponding color. In both ''Yoshi's Island'' games, after hitting a nearby ! Switch, the Dotted Line Blocks will temporarily become solid and are able to be used as platforms. Dotted Line Blocks in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' become [[Red Switch Block]]s after pressing the red ! Switch in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]].


Similar objects called '''semi-visible blocks'''<ref>{{cite|language=en|title=''Super Mario 64'' instruction booklet|location=Redmond|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|page=19}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where they turn solid and are able to be used after the player hits the ! Switch or [[? Switch]] on the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] in both versions and [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] and the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]] in the N64 version only.
Transparent boxes similar to Dotted Line Blocks appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where they turn solid and are able to be used after hitting the [[? Switch]] in the level "[[Tower of the Wing Cap]]."


In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Dotted-Line Blocks can be triggered by [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, with only the red blocks becoming solid when they are on and only the blue blocks becoming solid when they are off. In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style, they are depicted having a smiling face, while every other style depicts them as faceless blocks. As of the version 2.0 update, [[P Block]]s also appear as an outline like Dotted-Line Blocks while inactive. Although previously not available in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, Dotted-Line Blocks were added in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020.
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', inactive [[Color Block]]s are redesigned to look similarly to Dotted-Line Blocks.
