The first Directional Blocks that are used to reach the first Star Medal of World 3-4

Directional Blocks[1] are blocks that appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They are purple blocks with an arrow on each side. When Mario or Luigi hits one from below, it moves in the direction it points to for a distance that is roughly half of its height/width, which usually allows him to access certain blocks or collectibles he cannot reach with a normal jump. Directional Blocks' positions can be reset only by replaying the levels they appear in.
