They are made of stone and typically harder to break than other blocks. They usually require the player to perform a particularly strong move or be under the effect of a specific [[power-up]] to break. In most appearances, Rock Blocks function similarly to the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Bricks]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. | |||
'''Rock | There are similar objects in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] called [[Hard Block]]s, a throwable [[Stone (Super Mario Maker 2)|Stone]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and an obstruction called the [[Stone Block]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but they have different properties from the Rock Block. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the [[Brick Block]]s in the [[Wooded Kingdom]] are made of stone but otherwise function normally. | ||

A different variety of Rock Blocks | A different variety of Rock Blocks appeared as obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak point indicated by a cracked side with a bandage on it. Wario can break these blocks by [[punch]]ing or Ground Pounding the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Mega Toss]]. In some areas, Rock Blocks can move upward and slam down like a [[Thwomp]] to squash Wario. | ||

Gray-colored [[Brick Block]]s working like Rock Blocks appear in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a [[reissue]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. These blocks specifically appear in the levels [[A Sky-High Adventure]] and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]], in which they appear to obstruct certain pathways. These solid blocks cannot be destroyed easily, breaking only by using the [[Hammer Suit]] or the [[Tanooki Suit]]'s [[Statue Mario|statue]] mode. Unlike Brick Blocks and [[White Block]]s, these gray blocks do not glisten. | |||
On the Japanese e-Reader card for Puzzling Pipe Maze, [[Roy Koopa]] claims to have invented these blocks by himself. | |||

Rock | Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as a gray variation of [[Mega Block|Big Block]]s, thus resembling larger variants of the gray-colored Brick Blocks from ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. They cannot be destroyed by the player on their own (except when under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]]); therefore, the player must make use of other means to break them, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[cannonball]]s, having them be hit by a [[Conkdor]], among others. | ||
