'''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 ''[[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.
