'''Triangular Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are [[block]]s first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are smiling pink rounded-triangular blocks placed against walls or other objects.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
Triangular Blocks are objects in ''Super Mario World''. They can be used to [[Dash|run]] up the surface they are placed against.<ref>{{cite|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|date=September 24, 2019|url=youtu.be/IHX0Xek6w_E?feature=shared&t=96|title=''Super Mario World'' - Donut Plains 1|timestamp=01:36|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Either [[Yoshi]] or a [[Koopa Shell]] bounces if one of them touches a Triangular Block.

Circular and square variants were originally planned, as shown on a preliminary sprite sheet during the game's development that was also used to draft [[Yoshi]]'s sprites.<ref>{{cite|author=Sao, Akinori|date=September 28, 2017|url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/October/Nintendo-Classic-Mini-SNES-developer-interview-Volume-5-Super-Mario-World-and-Super-Mario-World-2-Yoshi-s-Island-1290850.html|title=Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES developer interview – Volume 5: Super Mario World and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=March 28, 2026|language=en}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Triangular Blocks are objects in the [[World-e]] levels [[Slidin' the Slopes]], [[Sea to Sky]], [[Castle Dash]], and [[Caped Escape]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are a lighter pink color than before. Some Triangular Blocks are positioned between walls and ceilings, adding the mechanic to run on the latter surface.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
Three episodes of the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]] include Triangular Blocks: "[[Ghosts 'R' Us]]," where Yoshi bounces off one to go to [[Wizenheimer]]'s [[Ghost House|haunted house]] and rescue the other characters; "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]," where one is used by [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] to escape from the [[Cave People]], who have become [[Chickadactyl]]s; and "[[Born to Ride]]," where Mario, [[Luigi]], Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi drive their motorbikes up one to dodge [[Dino Riders|Duke, Lulu, and Rockman]]. In the latter episode, the Triangular Block is shown to be sad when Rockman fails to use it.

|Rom=Piese triunghi<ref name=a group=footnotes>In the dubbed version of the episode "[[Ghosts 'R' Us]]," Yoshi inexplicably uses two different names at their plural to refer to a singular Triangular Block as he prepares to enter Wizenheimer's haunted house, despite consistently calling it a "triangle blockety" in the English version.
*English: "'''''Triangle blockety'''! Ooh, I so scared! Yoshi never go in haunted house before. Yoshi be brave and find friends. I go up '''triangle blockety'''.''"
*Romanian: "'''''Piesele triunghi'''! Oh, așa speriat! Yoshi nu intrat într-o casă bântuită înainte. Yoshi, fii curajos și găsește prietenii. Urcat pe '''bucățile triunghi'''.''"</ref>
