Red Blocks (also formatted as red blocks)[1][2] are blocks in the Super Mario series. They start out as Dotted-Line Blocks, but after the player hits a ! Switch, they become solid.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros., this effect is temporary, and the switches hit are reusable.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Red Blocks are instead activated and deactivated by giant ! Switches on the World 3 map. Red Blocks appear only in World 3-4 and World 3-5, where activating them is required to reach the main Goal Pole of the former and the secret Goal Pole of the latter. The switch is inaccessible unless the other exits to those levels are found.

Super Mario Run[edit]

In Super Mario Run, Red Blocks work as they did in New Super Mario Bros. They appear prominently in Red Block Run, but they can also be found in other courses, such as Switch Ghost House.
