Talk:Face block (platform)

Location
Would anyone happen to know where the Platform Blocks appear in NSMB? 5-1 is the only level that links to it, but the Player's Guide doesn't mention the Block at all in that location, and the Pocket Guide only refers to it as a "Block". With two guides to look through, I'd prefer having precise locations.
 * 2-1, 5-1, 7-A and 8-2 are the only appearances. --Hiccup (talk) 06:32, 8 January 2016 (EST)
 * Thank you so much! Unfortunately, the block is barely mentioned: in the Pocket Guide, it's only as the aforementioned "Block", and in the Player's Guide, it's only mentioned here: "The blocks at point 2 [on the map] will expand vertically when you hit them. Punch them three times to create a platform that's high enough to allow you to leap over the POket and reach the coins." So, if the block's named somewhere, it's not in New Super Mario Bros.

Organization
This block's name is a mess. There are three different Japanese names, two of which are shared with other objects (Stretch Blocks for New Super Mario Bros. and ! Block for Super Mario 3D World). The English name currently used for the article (face block) would only apply to the first two appearances (New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 3D Land), and the main block uses the name ! Block, which also only applies to two appearances (Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario Maker 2). And on top of that, it's a ? Block in Super Mario 3D World, and the Prima guide specifically refers to the large ones are Mega ? Blocks. Lastly, the New Super Mario Bros. version is the one that's least like the others, being neither a ! Block or ? Block and only stacking four blocks upwards. How do we present this information cleanly? It's rather forced to have it all in one article, and I'm almost considering just merging the sections into Stretch Block, ! Block and ? Block (and renaming the conjectural Giant ? Block while we're at it). Any other thoughts? LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:34, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * The Super Mario 3D Land ones resemble the first iteration, only coming out of an ! Block rather than being out (Yeah, i'm not sure wether a connection was intended there either, even the Stretch Block). The Super Mario 3D World ones should be split into "Mega ? Block", while we should hold off for the Super Mario Maker 2) -- 14:44, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Another reason I'm suggesting simply merging the sections is because the Giant ? Block article technically has to be renamed as well since we have some official Japanese names for it, and if the guide takes them for the same thing then I figure we might as well consider Mega ? Block (which doesn't have a Japanese equivalent) to be its English name. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:22, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * I see. -- 03:36, May 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * The Giant ? Block is actually named Mega ? Block in Super Mario Run as well, which was overlooked earlier. Note that Mega Block is known as Big Block in Super Mario 3D World. LinkTheLefty (talk) 04:21, May 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Out of curiosity, what are the internal filename in both New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3d land, and Super Mario 3D World? -- 05:12, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
