Color Block

Color Blocks are blocks that appear in several games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong
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. In this game, inactive color blocks are clear, while active color blocks are solid. 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. In this game, Color Blocks do not have a rivet in their center.
