'''Mega Blocks''', also known as '''Big Blocks''',<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 19.</ref> are large [[Brick Block]]s. They are often tougher than regular Brick Blocks, requiring a number of hits to destroy or being indestructible altogether. However, in some games, namely 2D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' titles, they act like their smaller counterparts. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Super Mario'' series=== | |||
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''==== | |||
Big Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario All-Stars|its]] [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remakes]], where they are only found in [[Giant Land]]. They are two times bigger than normal Brick Blocks; in spite of their size, they can be destroyed as any other Brick Block by [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or a regular [[Koopa Shell]]. Exclusively in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', they can also be broken by tail-whipping them as [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]. | |||
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''==== | |||
They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. However, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', these Big Blocks are indestructible (as they are too big) and act as platforms rather than Brick Blocks. These are found only in [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. | |||
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''==== | |||
These blocks reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', working as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as they are able to be destroyed by Super Mario or Koopa Shells. They are found only in [[Soda Jungle]], most notably in the [[Jungle of the Giants]] level. | |||
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''==== | |||
Big Blocks return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where they are four times bigger than a normal Brick Block. They can be destroyed by jumping beneath them and/or tail-whipping them five times, [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] them in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or better, using a [[Mega Mushroom]], or hitting a nearby [[POW Block]]. They only appear in [[Super Block Land]]. Gray variants of Big Blocks known as [[Rock Block]]s also appear, which are slightly smaller but much stronger. These blocks can only be destroyed by [[Mega Mario]], [[Cannon Box]]es, or [[Bob-omb]] explosions. | |||
====''Super Mario Run''==== | |||
Mega Blocks appear under their current name in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', where they can be collected as buildings for [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Kingdom Builder]]. | |||
===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''=== | |||
Big Blocks reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the [[Safe by a Sandslide]] mission. They only require a single hammer hit to destroy. | Big Blocks reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in the [[Safe by a Sandslide]] mission. They only require a single hammer hit to destroy. | ||
===''Paper Mario'' series=== | |||
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''==== | |||
Big Blocks return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' in [[Mondo Woods]]. They are normal Brick Blocks that were enchanted by [[Kamek]]. Big Blocks cannot be broken unless they are colored. They also appear in the [[Violet Passage]] in the coin segment, where they can be destroyed by [[Cannonball]]s, and in the [[Mustard Café]], where one blocks the orange [[Warp Pipe]] leading to the surface at the end of the underground caves. | Big Blocks return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' in [[Mondo Woods]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''==== | |||
Mega Blocks appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', working like they did in ''Super Mario 3D World''. They come in two sizes: twice as big (which take three hits to destroy) and even bigger (which take seven hits to break); successful hammer [[Action Command]]s lessen the amount of hits needed to break them. They appear during the [[Trial of Power]] on [[Diamond Island]]. | |||
===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''=== | |||
Mega Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', as the most basic form of cover in the game. They normally take three hits to destroy, but some weapons may destroy them instantly. | |||
