So don't loiter on them for too long." Message block in World 2-6 [[Donuts and Eggs]]</ref>) are a kind of [[platform]] first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They get their name from the fact that they are round (except for the top) with a hole in the middle. If the player stands on one for more than a second, it drops below. Due to this, the player should constantly [[jump]] when crossing Donut Blocks to prevent them from dropping.

The Donut Blocks make an appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Glacial versions of the Donut Blocks also appear in the snow world ([[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]). These Donut Blocks are slippery and can be differentiated from the ordinary Donut Blocks by their light blue color. Other than being light blue and slippery, they share every characteristic of the normal Donut Blocks.

Additionally, as Donut Blocks are absent in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', they have been given new sprites for those styles. Their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites have been updated, sporting a lighter color scheme.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', a few Donut Blocks can be found in [[Guffawha Ruins]]. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Donut Blocks only appear in the [[Flab Zone]], which are suspended over in the mucus. Luigi steps on these blocks, and they fall down into the mucus, causing him to fall into it as well, where he is rescued by [[Princess Lipid]]. ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Donut Blocks appear in area B of [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]]. They retain their colors from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, but are much thinner, more stretched and rounder this time around. They function similarly to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', where, once they are stepped on, they turn red and fall after a short time.

===''Super Princess Peach''===

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Donut Blocks appear, retaining their function from the ''Yoshi's Island'' series. In this game, they appear to be made of sand, and disintegrate and fall when stepped on. Unlike previous installments, they do not turn red when falling.
