Arrow Blocks[1][2] are objects in Wario World. They are gray metal blocks with four red arrows pointed in each of the cardinal directions. Arrow Blocks are located inside trapdoor sub-levels. If Wario punches an Arrow Block, it goes sailing in a straight line until it hits a wall, causing it to stop; if it hits another Arrow Block, that block starts to move instead, potentially resulting in a chain reaction of multiple blocks. Arrow Blocks are generally used as platforms to help Wario reach previously inaccessible ledges containing red diamonds and Gold Statue pieces. Should Wario ground-pound an Arrow Block, it moves downward.
