A Mushroom Block[1] is an item in Super Mario Bros. 2. They are mostly found above ground in castles and World 7. They can be used to defeat some enemies, or stacked up to reach higher areas. They are required to be thrown in order to defeat bosses Tryclyde, Fryguy, and gray Birdos. Mushroom Blocks can also be found in most of the red Birdos' battle rooms. Mushroom Blocks replace the masks used in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.

  • Top right; Worlds 2 and 6
  • Bottom left; World 4

In the SNES version, the spotted Mushroom Block from the NES was replaced by a plain one (top left).

Trivia

  • Due to a glitch, Mushroom Blocks sometimes teleport a few pixels horizontally as they land on the ground after being thrown, usually if they would have otherwise landed in a place a number of pixels not divisible by 16 away from their starting location.
