Mushroom Blocks are a type of object featured in Super Mario Bros. 2. They replace the masks featured in the original Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.

Description[]

A Mushroom Block can be picked up by the player's character while they are standing on it. In doing so, the character can either put the Mushroom Block back on the ground or throw it. Mushroom Blocks can be used to build towers by stacking them up or to defeat enemies. A few boss battles, including Tryclyde, Fryguy, and Green Birdos, require the player's character to throw Mushroom Blocks to attack and eventually defeat due to them being the only throwable object available.

In both the original Super Mario Bros. 2 and its remakes, the pattern on the caps of the Mushroom Blocks differ between most worlds; this is only for aesthetic, and does not affect the way in which they function. In the original Super Mario Bros. 2, Mushroom Blocks have a dark red cap, but both the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance remakes change it to pink. The design for Mushroom Blocks with spots on their cap is only used for World 5 in the original Super Mario Bros. 2, while remakes use the Mushroom Block with no pattern like in World 1 and World 3 in all versions.
