M Block: Difference between revisions

'''M Blocks''', also known as '''Mario Blocks''',<ref>Hoffman, Chris. ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref><ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide. Pages 39 and 45.</ref> are [[block]]s found in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, and they serve the same function as a [[? Block]]. This type of block can be activated only by [[Mario]] and [[Baby Mario]], whereas the similar [[L Block]] can be used only by [[Luigi]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. Both M Blocks and L Blocks may contain items for the Mario Bros. to collect, and have been grouped together with ? Blocks as '''[[Treasure Block]]s'''.<ref>Hoffman, Chris. ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' Player's Guide. Pages 6 and 9.</ref>

M Blocks also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In this game, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must be carrying Baby Mario to see them and hit them. Also, some remain invisible even with Baby Mario; these blocks must be hit by a Yoshi with Baby Mario to appear. The stage [[Hit the M Blocks!]] is named after them.

A similar block known as "Cap Block M," along with Cap Blocks L and W, was [[List of Super Mario 64 DS pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and contained [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]], but the blocks were removed.<ref>TCRF.
