Template:Item-infobox Face blocks[1] (or face Blocks[2]) are objects that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Each time Mario hits the block, another block pops out of the previous one.

History

New Super Mario Bros.

Mario hitting a face block in New Super Mario Bros.

Face blocks are introduced in New Super Mario Bros., starting out as a single block with a face on it. Up to four blocks can be stacked, and they can also be used to enter horizontal pipes or block enemy attacks. After a while, they will revert back into a single block.

Super Mario 3D Land

The blocks return in Super Mario 3D Land, where the main block is an ! Block. It can conjure more or less than four blocks. The blocks do not always go straight up, they go in some paths as well. The face blocks even have the same design, and the ! Block is sometimes the size of regular blocks or sometimes bigger.

Super Mario 3D World

There are certain ? Blocks in Super Mario 3D World that act as face blocks, which produce Empty Blocks. In Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade and Super Block Land, there are larger versions of them. They can also be activated by tapping on the Wii U GamePad.

Super Mario Maker 2
