A POW Block, occasionally POW[1][2][3] and standing for power block[1] (also spelled Power Block),[4] is a block that can be thrown to the ground or hit in the air to create a large earthquake, causing all enemies onscreen to get hurt. POW Blocks can be carried and thrown in most games, and some are required for a 100% game completion. Most POW Blocks are a metallic blue, but some POW Blocks are red or sometimes green.
