'''Platform Blocks'''{{ref needed}} are objects that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Each time [[Mario]] hits the [[block]], another block pops out of the previous one. By hitting it multiple times, Mario can use the series of blocks to reach higher platforms. However, if Mario takes too long, the blocks will collapse back to normal.


==History==

'''Face blocks'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 11.</ref> (or '''face Blocks''')<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 164.</ref> are objects that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They start out as a single [[block]] with a face on it. Each time [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits the block, another face block pops out above the previous one, creating up to four face blocks piled on one another. This can help Mario or Luigi reach higher platforms, enter horizontal [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], or block enemies. However, if Mario or Luigi takes too long, the blocks will collapse back into a single face block.

Platform Blocks are introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', starting out as a single [[block]] with a face on it. Up to four blocks can be stacked, and they can also be used to enter horizontal pipes or block enemy attacks. After a while, they will revert back into a single block.


===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
Face blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are spawned from [[! Block]]s. They have the same design, are often spawned in different paths, and allow Mario or Luigi to access out-of-reach locations and collectibles, though they appear for only a period of time before they disappear.

The blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where the main block is an [[! Block]]. It can conjure more or less than four blocks. The blocks do not always go straight up, they go in some paths as well. The face blocks even have the same design, and the ! Block is sometimes the size of regular blocks or sometimes bigger.


===''Super Mario 3D World''===
Certain [[? Block]]s and [[Mega ? Block]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', as well as ! Blocks in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', create sequences of [[Empty Block]]s similar to face blocks when hit.
There are certain [[? Block]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' that act as Platform Blocks. In [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]] and [[Super Block Land]], there are larger versions of them. They can also be activated by tapping on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]].

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', giant, yellow ! Blocks that act as Platform Blocks appear as course elements. When hit multiple times, they produce giant [[Empty Block]]s.<ref>Nintendo.
