Face Block
Appears in	Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (1999)
Effect	Changes certain Dotted Line Blocks to solid red blocks

Face Blocks are blocks in the Vs. Game and You VS. Boo modes of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. Face Blocks at first appear as smiling White Face Blocks, which, in later stages, cause certain Dotted Line Blocks to become solid white blocks that help the player, before changing into Red Face Blocks, which have their tongues sticking out and cause most Dotted Line Blocks to become solid red blocks that generally block the way. Jumping into a Red Face Block changes it into a white one, turning all of the solid blocks back into Dotted Line Blocks for a few seconds before both automatically revert; the player can also hit a White Face Block to instantly turn it back into a red one.
