Editing Rock Block

{{Part conjecture}}

There are similar objects in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] called [[Hard Block]]s, a throwable [[Stone (Super Mario Maker 2)|Stone]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and an obstruction called the [[stone block]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but they have different properties from the Rock Block. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the [[Brick Block]]s in the [[Wooded Kingdom]] are made of stone but otherwise function normally.

Rock Blocks are nearly identical to later appearances in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', being hit once to be cracked open.

'''Cracked blocks'''<ref>{{cite|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|date=1995|page=28}}</ref> are found in many levels of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. In the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], Cracked blocks are large blocks made of a durable type of rock, and can only be destroyed with [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s.

Rock Blocks return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and only [[Baby Donkey Kong]] can destroy them with eggs or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].

Rock blocks appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They are roughly the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', as they can only be destroyed by Yoshi Eggs. Golden rock blocks also appear in the game; they cannot be destroyed by any means.

A different variety of Rock Blocks appeared as obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak point indicated by a cracked side with a bandage on it. Wario can break these blocks by [[punch]]ing or Ground Pounding the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Mega Toss]]. In some areas, Rock Blocks can move upward and slam down like a [[Thwomp]] to squash Wario.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

[[File:Grey_Brick_Block.png|frame|left]]

Gray-colored [[Brick Block]]s working like Rock Blocks appear in [[World-e]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a [[reissue]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. These blocks specifically appear in the levels [[A Sky-High Adventure]] and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]], in which they appear to obstruct certain pathways. These solid blocks cannot be destroyed easily, breaking only by using the [[Hammer Suit]] or the [[Tanooki Suit]]'s [[Statue Mario|statue]] mode. Unlike Brick Blocks and [[White Block]]s, these gray blocks do not glisten.

On the Japanese e-Reader card for Puzzling Pipe Maze, [[Roy Koopa]] claims to have invented these blocks by himself.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

In [[Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]], '''stone blocks'''<ref>{{cite|Fletcher, Black|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide (Collector's Edition)''|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=American English|date=2007|page=313|isbn=978-0-76155-713-5}}</ref> cover holes needed to progress. They are destroyed when Mario collides with them on the [[Star Ball|Rolling Ball]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' ====

Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as a gray variation of [[Mega Block|Big Block]]s, thus resembling larger variants of the gray-colored Brick Blocks from ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''. They cannot be destroyed by the player on their own (except when under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]]); therefore, the player must make use of other means to break them, such as [[Bob-omb]]s, [[cannonball]]s, having them be hit by a [[Conkdor]], among others.

In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', throwing a [[Green Shell]] at a Rock Block destroys it.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', [[Hard Block]]s take the form of Rock Blocks in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' level style.

 

Rock Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' in [[Jewel-Block Cave]]'s [[Wonder Effect]], where it can only be destroyed by either [[Big Konk]]s or [[Giant Spiked Ball]]s.
