Color Blocks in Level 1-1

In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Color Blocks appear in red, yellow, and blue varieties. All Color Blocks of a certain color are either inactive or active at a given time. When Mario presses a Color Switch, Color Blocks of the same color as the Color Switch become active and tangible, while Color Blocks of different colors become inactive and intangible.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!

Color Blocks reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, where they are parsed as color blocks.[2] In this game, inactive color blocks are clear, while active color blocks are solid.[2] If a Mini presses a Color Switch, color blocks invert their current state. Clear color blocks are small, intangible cubes that spin when a Mini passes through them, while solid color blocks are tangible blocks with a red, yellow, or blue outline and a rivet in their center. Solid color blocks can be walked on by Minis.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars

Color Blocks reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. They function identically to color blocks from Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!. Inactive Color Blocks are referred to as being off, while active color blocks are referred to as being on.[3] In this game, Color Blocks do not have a rivet in their center.
