A collectible Block from Mario Artist: Polygon Studio
Appears in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio (2000)

Blocks[1] are the main building elements in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio. They can be used in the Block Dome to assemble creations, which can then be used in other modes such as the Stage UFO and Jikken World. Block can be from one of five categories:

  • Parts Blocks (パーツブロック, pātsu burokku): Basic blocks that act as the body of the build.
  • Animation Blocks (アニメーションブロック, animēshon burokku): Animated blocks that move in certain ways.
  • Sound Blocks (サウンドブロック, saundo burokku): Blocks that continuously emmit sounds.
  • ? Blocks (?ブロック, ? burokku): Bonus blocks that can be used as decoration on a creation. Unlocked by finding them in Jikken World.
  • Dōryoku Blocks (どうりょくブロク, dōryoku burokku, "Power Blocks"): Blocks that act as wheels or legs, allowing creations to move. More are unlocked by finding them in Jikken World.

In Jikken World, the player can find more ? blocks and Dōryoku blocks to use in their creations. Dōryoku blocks specifically grant different traits to vehicles using them. Other blocks that can be used in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio, such as Parts, Animation and Sound Blocks, cannot be found in Jikken World as they are unlocked by default.

Parts Blocks[edit]

Animation blocks[edit]

Animation blocks perform quick animations in a loop. In Jikken World, they are animated only when the vehicle is moving.
