American English instruction booklet], page 17.</ref> '''Normal Block''',<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars'' English instruction booklet, page 9.</ref> or '''Block''',<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' instruction booklet, pages 12 and 18.</ref> is one of the more common [[block]]s in games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Brick Blocks have made an appearance in nearly every game of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] to date. As their name implies, they are designed to resemble sections of a brick wall.


In most ''Super Mario'' games since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Mario]] or any other character can break this block only in their [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or higher tiered variants of the Super form, such as the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] or [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]]. Brick Blocks can be broken in many ways (usually just by [[jump]]ing into them from below); they give the player ten [[point]]s (50 in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and its derivatives). If [[Small Mario|Small]] or [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] hits a Brick Block, it just bounces up slightly. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, they work just like [[? Block]]s, as the item pops out and the block turns into an [[Empty Block]].  Regardless, any enemies walking on the block will be injured. In ''Super Mario Bros.'' and the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]], Brick Blocks' colors change to fit those of their environment (blue while underground, gray/white in [[castle]]s, red in volcanic areas, etc.)

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', generic [[Block (Super Mario 64)|block]]s are re-skinned to resemble brick blocks, though they behave the same as in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. A different visual change is given to [[crate]]s, however. They can be broken by most of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]]'s attacks. There is also a large black variation of the block that can be broken only by Wario (although any player character can break it with the help of a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]). [[Yoshi]] cannot break any of them unless he is under the effects of a mushroom.

[[Blokkablok]]s also have spiked Brick Blocks as segments; unlike normal Brick Blocks, theirs can be broken by Small Mario.

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bricks often appear in the background. Some are used as destructible platforms, though. In "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]", rebelling [[pipe creatures]] that [[Toad]] made use the wand they stole to make a pile of bricks act like [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s. In "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", Mario calls a brick holding a [[Super Leaf]] a "'''Super Block'''".

In the [[Super Smash Bros.

(where they form a solid platform on the left side) and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]] of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] (where they are aged and more realistic, as with the rest of the stage), [[3D Land]], and possibly in [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] (bar the ''Super Mario World'' style).

[[Wendy O. Koopa|Dr. Wendy]]'s and [[Koopa Troopa|Dr. Koopa Troopa]]'s skills involves Brick Blocks. For Dr. Wendy, her stage mode skill breaks up to 10 blocks while her versus mode skill covers up to 10 viruses in the opponent's field in blocks. For Dr. Koopa Troopa, its stage mode skill breaks up to 4 blocks (3 prior to version 2.2.0), while its versus mode skill covers up to 5 viruses inside blocks. Although Dr. Koopa Troopa's skill involves less blocks compared to Dr. Wendy, it is compensated by a lower skill meter to allow for potentially more uses of the skill. Blocks may appear in some of the starting layouts in versus mode. If [[Baby Wario|Dr. Baby Wario]]'s skill targets a block that contain coins, it is able to collect every coin from those blocks.
