Sprites of Coral from Super Mario Bros.

Coral[1][2] appears in the Super Mario franchise mainly as a minor obstacle in World 2-2 and World 7-2 of Super Mario Bros.. It cannot harm the player, though it acts as a barrier to swim around. Coral is pink and has a similar purpose to Hard Blocks. The player can stand on the coral, but the enemies can swim through it. In World 9 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, coral is placed horizontally and serves as a platform. Coral also appears in Super Mario Bros. 3 in a few levels, but it serves the same purpose as it did in Super Mario Bros. In Super Mario Bros. 3, it resembles a large stack of rings, though large versions of Super Mario Bros.-like coral can be found in World 4-4. After making common appearances as a simple background element in many games, coral as an obstacle returns in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where it is found in an underwater level and can be destroyed by Bowser's fire breath.

Coral appears in the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 styles in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 as an aesthetic variation of Ground blocks. Ground blocks placed in a vertical, one-block-wide stack in the underwater theme appear as coral.
