History

Super Mario Bros.

In Super Mario Bros., Cloud Blocks first appear in World 2-1, in the bonus area reached by hitting a Brick with a beanstalk. Unlike in later games, the Cloud Blocks in this game are solid.

Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Cloud Blocks first appear in the sky in World 1-1, reached by flying to the top of the level with a Super Leaf. From this game onwards, Mario can pass through them from the bottom.

Giant versions of Cloud Blocks also appear in World 4.

Super Mario World

In Super Mario World, Cloud Blocks first appear in Yoshi's Island 1, where they are used to transport a 1-Up Mushroom to Mario or Luigi.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, Cloud Blocks have a new design for the New Super Mario Bros. U game style, and in every game style, they wear goggles in the Underwater theme. Cloud Blocks can be destroyed by Thwomps, Bowser's ground pound in Super Mario Bros. 3-styled levels, and Skewers.

Super Mario Run

Cloud Blocks appear in Super Mario Run, where they are platforms in Bullet Bill Barrage. As of version 3.0.4, they also appear as platforms in Remix 10's Cloud Bonus Courses. They have exactly the same appearance as the New Super Mario Bros. U style of Super Mario Maker.

Super Mario Maker 2

Cloud Blocks reappear in Super Mario Maker 2 as placeable course elements under the "Terrain" category, having the same behavior of the original game. They are available in the Super Mario 3D World game style, having a similar appearance to the Cloud Cannons from the source game, and they do not wear goggles in the Underwater theme of said game style. Aside from being able to be destroyed by the same methods of the original Wii U game, they now can be disintegrated by digging them like soft sand from Super Mario Bros. 2 by SMB2 Mario.
