Bolted blocks are colorful, rounded platforms with circular bolts in each of their corners. Usually they are a flat, plastic-like texture, but are sometimes depicted with diamond-shaped patterns filling them. They are a frequently recurring object in the Super Mario franchise, principally as iconography for the main Super Mario series. In 2D titles, they typically act as Semisolid Platforms, and are fully solid objects in 3D games.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

Bolted blocks feature prevalently in aboveground levels of Super Mario Bros. 3. They generally appear in tan, white, green, and light-blue colors. The White Blocks uniquely can be crouched on to drop the player into the level's background, behind the White Block. In World 8-1 black bolted blocks with white outlines appear, matching the level's wider aesthetic. Several desert levels in the game feature differently designed bolted blocks, which are all orange and have slightly smaller bolts. These bolted blocks are often stacked on top of one another into large pyramid structures.

Mario the Juggler

Mario the Juggler includes a tan bolted block on the bottom left corner of the screen as a platform for the Toad to stand on as well as a sign to indicate whether Game A or Game B is currently being played.

Just Dance 2018

The rearranged and reanimated version of "Just Mario" featured in Just Dance 2018 shows red, blue, and yellow bolted blocks in the background in front of Peach's Castle.
