The Warp Block (referred to as the Warp Box in Melon Mayhem) is an item in the Mario Party series. It is a block that transports the user to another player's space and then swaps that player over to where the user was. It appears in Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, and Mario Party Superstars.

Similar equivalents to the Warp Block in later Mario Party titles include the Warp Pipe in Mario Party 4 through 7, the Warp Dice Block in Mario Party DS, the Warp Box in Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Super Mario Party, and the Swap Mirror in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

History[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

The Warp Block is used in place of a Dice Block for the player's turn in Mario Party. It is depicted as a colorful block with question marks on each side. The Warp Block can be bought at a Mushroom Shop. If the user switches positions with a player who has a Poisonous Mushroom, the space where the latter lands only changes the color of their Player Panel.

Mario Party 2[edit]

The Warp Block costs 15 Coins (17 in Bowser Land) to buy at an Item Shop in Mario Party 2. It can also be obtained during an Item mini-game. The Warp Block is Yoshi's favorite item, so he prioritizes acquiring it as a CPU. Unlike before, the player can use the regular Dice Block the same turn.

Mario Party 3[edit]

The Warp Block has the same role in Mario Party 3, except it costs only five coins.

Mario Party Superstars[edit]

The Warp Block returns in Mario Party Superstars with the same function as in Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 3, except it costs 7 coins to buy at an Item Shop. It is now designed with a shifting rainbow color and two light blue circular arrows on a side. It also receives a variation, the Super Warp Block, exclusive to the final five turns or from an Item Bag.
