A '''Hard Block''' is a type of [[block]] commonly used to make stair-like structures. Unlike [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s, Hard Blocks cannot contain [[List of items|items]] or [[Coin]]s. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are not normally able to destroy Hard Blocks, but certain methods, such as entering a [[Mega Mario|Mega]] state or using a [[Big Thwomp]], can be used to destroy them. | |||

Hard Blocks | Hard Blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' with an identical appearance and purpose. Their most notable use is to create stairs at the end of many levels leading to the top of the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], which itself has a Hard Block as its base. In some levels, they are used to create much more gently-sloped stairs as a minor obstacle. | ||
