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.

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.[1]. 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.

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.[2] In this game, Color Blocks do not have a rivet in their center.
