'''Coral'''<ref>{{cite|author=Tochikubo, Hiroo|title=''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=4-19-720003-XC|page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Cain, Christine|title=''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=60|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=1999|isbn=0-7615-2190-9}}</ref> appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] mainly as a minor obstacle in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] and [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|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 Block]]s. The player can stand on the coral, but the enemies can swim through it. In [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|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 [[level]]s, 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 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|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|fire breath]].
