They are made of stone and typically harder to break than other blocks. They usually require the player to perform a particularly strong move or be under the effect of a specific [[power-up]] to break. In most appearances, Rock Blocks function similarly to the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Bricks]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. | |||

There are similar objects in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] called [[Hard Block]]s, a throwable [[Stone (Super Mario Maker 2)|Stone]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and an obstruction called the [[stone block]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but they have different properties from the Rock Block. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', the [[Brick Block]]s in the [[Wooded Kingdom]] are made of stone but otherwise function normally. | There are similar objects in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] called [[Hard Block]]s, a throwable [[Stone (Super Mario Maker 2)|Stone]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and an obstruction called the [[stone block]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', but they have different properties from the Rock Block.

A different variety of Rock Blocks appeared as obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''. They can be small or very large, but each has a weak point indicated by a cracked side with a bandage on it. Wario can break these blocks by [[punch]]ing or Ground Pounding the weak side. The blocks can also be destroyed by using a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Mega Toss]]. In some areas, Rock Blocks can move upward and slam down like a [[Thwomp]] to squash Wario. | A different variety of Rock Blocks appeared as obstacles that [[Wario]] encountered during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''.
