'''Super Blocks''' are blocks that contain a spinning blue disk that appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Similar to [[Merlon]]'s power in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the Super Block upgrades [[Mario]]'s partners. There are 16 blocks scattered all across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The fortune teller [[Merluvlee]] can tell where the Super Blocks are.

Each of Mario's partners can be upgraded twice: the first time to a Super Rank and the second time to an Ultra Rank after Mario receives the [[Ultra Stone]] from [[Raphael the Raven]] in [[Paper Mario#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]. After Mario receives the Ultra Stone, he can choose to Ultra Rank a partner even if all partners aren't at Super Rank yet.
