-A '''Board''' is a square-shaped yellow platform that hovers above the ground found in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Boards always come in pairs, because when [[Mario]] jumps on one of the platforms, the other one revolves around it. When Mario jumps to the next Board, the platform he was previously standing one begins to revolve around the second Board (the one he is currently standing on). Thus, these platforms can be used to cross [[lava]]-filled rooms or to reach [[Treasure Boxes]] that are too high for Mario to reach with his jumping ability.  It should be noted that not all Boards move the same speed; some move fast while others move slow. As such, Mario has to plan his jumps accordingly.  The exact scientific reason for why Boards operate the way they do is unknown.<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 22.</ref>

+A '''block''', also known as a '''tile''' or '''Board''',<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> is a yellow square-shaped panel that hovers above the ground and functions as a platform in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Blocks usually come in pairs. When [[Mario]] jumps onto one of the blocks, the other revolves around it. When Mario [[jump]]s to the next one, the platform he was previously standing on begins to revolve around the one he is currently standing on. Thus, these platforms can be used to cross [[lava]]-filled rooms or to reach [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es that are too high for Mario to reach with his jumping ability. Not all blocks move at the same speed; some move quickly, while others move slowly. As such, Mario has to plan his jumps accordingly.
-Boards first appeared in the level [[Bandit's Way]] in the world [[Mushroom Kingdom]].  Despite being a haven for crooks and thugs, many people from all over the [[Mushroom World|world]] have traveled to Bandit's Way to experience these gravity-defying Boards in person.<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 22.</ref>
+Other blocks that do not move in this way occasionally appear, such as in [[Dr. Topper]]'s room and in [[Rose Way]].
+Blocks first appear in the level [[Bandit's Way]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Many individuals have traveled to Bandit's Way to see the blocks for themselves.<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 22. "''The curious travel from all over to experience Bandit Way's gravity-defying platforms. The scientific principle behind these marvels remain unknown.''"</ref>
+These blocks closely resemble the [[Rotating Block]]s of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and the [[Bike Pads]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

-Boards look similar to (and may be designed after) [[Turning Block]]s; the [[Bike Pad]]s of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' also look very similar to Boards.
