Blocksteppers appear in various levels, always marching back and forth (forward in autoscrolling levels) in groups of two or more. They can be defeated with any attack, but defeating one from the group will scatter the group and cause them run around frantically in panic. After a few seconds, they will act in unison and angrily chase after the player. | Blocksteppers appear in various levels, always marching back and forth (forward in autoscrolling levels) in groups of two or more.

Template:Species-infobox Blocksteppers[1] are enemies first appearing in Super Mario 3D World. They are red "blocks" with feet and cornet-like mouths. They also wear brown soldier hats and have wind-up keys in their backs. Their name is a combination of "block", which they resemble, and "lockstep", referring to their synchronized marching formation.
Blocksteppers appear in various levels, always marching back and forth (forward in autoscrolling levels) in groups of two or more. They can be defeated with any attack, but defeating one from the group will scatter the group and cause them run around frantically in panic. After a few seconds, they will act in unison and angrily chase after the player.
Blocksteppers return in the game's port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and are present in both modes of the game. In Bowser's Fury, Blocksteppers gain Cat versions of themselves known as Cat Blocksteppers, which are identical to normal ones except that they have cat ears. They act identically to their non-cat counterparts and appear in Pounce Bounce Isle.
