List of ? Blocks in Paper Mario: Color Splash

This article is about the visible ? Blocks from Paper Mario: Color Splash. For the hidden ones from same game, see List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario: Color Splash.

This is a list of ? Blocks from Paper Mario: Color Splash. There are 238 visible ? Blocks in the game. They mostly contain Battle Cards or Coins, with occasional paint related-items (globs of paint in Sunglow Ridge or 1-Up Mushrooms in Green Energy Plant). Some of them are also disguised as Brick Blocks.

Port Prisma, Dark Bloo Inn, Cobalt Base and all Roshambo Temples are the only locations without any visible ? Block.

Also, Mario can only collect the content of the block on the airship in The Crimson Tower once, because after the self-destruct button is hammered and airship explodes, this block can no longer be accessed.
