It cannot harm the player, though it acts as a barrier that [[Mario]] must [[swim]] around. Coral is pink and acts similarly to [[Hard Block]]s. The player can stand on the coral, but the enemies can swim through it. Coral also appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in a few [[level]]s, but it serves the same purpose as it did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', it resembles a large stack of rings, though large versions of ''Super Mario Bros.''-like coral can be found in [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-4]]. After making common appearances as a simple background element in many games, coral as an obstacle returns in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where it is found in an underwater level and can be destroyed by [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath|fire breath]].
