Triangular Blocks[1] are blocks first appearing in Super Mario World. They are smiling pink rounded-triangular blocks placed against walls or other objects.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

Triangular Blocks are objects in Super Mario World. They can be used to run up the surface they are placed against.[2] Either Yoshi or a Koopa Shell bounces if one of them touches a Triangular Block.

Circular and square variants were originally planned, as shown on a sprite sheet.[3]

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Triangular Blocks are objects in the World-e levels Slidin' the Slopes, Sea to Sky, Castle Dash, and Caped Escape of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They are a lighter pink color than before. Some Triangular Blocks are positioned between walls and ceilings, adding the mechanic to run on the latter surface.

Super Mario World television series[edit]

Three episodes of the Super Mario World cartoon include Triangular Blocks: "Ghosts 'R' Us," where Yoshi bounces off one to go to Wizenheimer's haunted house and rescue the other characters; "King Scoopa Koopa," where one is used by Mario and Princess Toadstool to escape from the Cave People, who have become Chickadactyls; and "Born to Ride," where Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi drive their motorbikes up one to dodge Duke, Lulu, and Rockman. In the latter episode, the Triangular Block is shown to be sad when Rockman fails to use it.

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ^ a b In the dubbed version of the episode "Ghosts 'R' Us," Yoshi inexplicably uses two different names at their plural to refer to a singular Triangular Block as he prepares to enter Wizenheimer's haunted house, despite consistently calling it a "triangle blockety" in the English version.
    • English: "Triangle blockety! Ooh, I so scared! Yoshi never go in haunted house before. Yoshi be brave and find friends. I go up triangle blockety."
    • Romanian: "Piesele triunghi! Oh, așa speriat! Yoshi nu intrat într-o casă bântuită înainte. Yoshi, fii curajos și găsește prietenii. Urcat pe bucățile triunghi."
