'''Dotted-Line Blocks'''<ref>''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet, page 49.</ref> (originally formatted without a hyphen)<ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> are transparent objects found in several ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, such as ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]), ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They represent that they can be solid when a switch is triggered, rather than blocks appearing from nothing. In ''Super Mario World'', they come in four colors and turn into [[! Block]]s once the player hits the [[! Switch]] in the [[Switch Palace]] of the corresponding color. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', after the player hits a nearby ! Switch, the Dotted-Line Blocks temporarily become ! Blocks and are able to be used as [[platform]]s. Dotted-Line Blocks in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' can turn into and revert from [[Red Block|red block]]s after the player presses the red ! Switches in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]]. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Super Mario Run'', red (yellow in ''Run'') ! Switches can change Dotted-Line Blocks into red blocks for a limited time. | '''Dotted-Line Blocks'''<ref>''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet, page 49.</ref> (originally formatted without a hyphen)<ref>''Super Mario World'' English instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> are transparent objects found in several ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, such as ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]), ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Transparent boxes similar to Dotted-Line Blocks appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where they turn solid and are able to be used after the player hits the ! Switch or [[? Switch]] on the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] in both versions and [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]] and the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]] in the N64 version only. | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Dotted-Line Blocks can be triggered by [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, with only the red blocks becoming solid when they are on and only the blue blocks becoming solid when they are off. In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style, they are depicted having a smiling face, while every other style depicts them as faceless blocks. As of the version 2.0 update, [[P Block]]s also appear as an outline like Dotted-Line Blocks while inactive. Although previously not available in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, Dotted-Line Blocks were added in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020. | In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Dotted-Line Blocks can be triggered by [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, with only the red blocks becoming solid when they are on and only the blue blocks becoming solid when they are off.
