An '''Empty Block''' (sometimes referred to simply as a '''Block'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy'' manual, page 18.</ref>) is a type of [[block]] in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] that usually appears when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and their friends hit a [[? Block]], an item-holding [[Brick Block]], or a [[Coin Block]], though they sometimes are naturally already in an "empty" state. Empty Blocks are usually brown round-edged cubes with small holes in their sides' corners. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Empty Blocks have small, closed, angry eyes, but no holes; if the player hits a blue [[P-Switch]], all Empty Blocks turn into coins and vice versa for a short time. Empty Blocks can only be broken by [[Mega Mario]] or stronger enemies, such as [[Broozer]]s, [[King Bill]]s, and Giant [[Bowser]].

'''Giant Empty Blocks''' also appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', usually after hitting [[Giant ? Block]]s or certain [[Giant Brick Block]]s. In [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Worlds 4-2]] and [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|4-5]] of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they appear naturally, forming part of the levels' structures. Also, in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Giant Empty Blocks are found in hidden rooms accessed via [[Warp Pipe]]s (as well as in [[World 6-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-3]]), and are often put together to form sculptures that create 3D illusions.
