A Brick Block is a block that has made an appearance in nearly every Mario platformer to date. As its name implies, Brick Blocks are blocks made of bricks. Their first appearance was in Super Mario Bros..

In all Mario platformer games, Mario or Luigi could only break this block as Super Mario (or Super Luigi) or another form of Super Mario, such as Fire Mario. By jumping into it from beneath, the Brick Block would shatter, giving the player ten points. If Small Mario hit the block, it would just bounce up slightly. Either way, an enemy walking on the brick will be injured. However, if Brick Blocks contain an item, the item would be released, regardless of Mario's status, and the Brick Block would turn into a Used Block.
