Message Blocks areblocks that provide tips and hints to player characters in various platforming titles of theSuper Mario franchise.

History[edit]

Super Mario World /Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Message Block from Super Mario World

Message Blocks[1] first appear inSuper Mario World and return inits reissue. From theirTourist Tips, Message Blocks usually describe a new level at the start. They are designed as blue blocks with an orange speaker on each.

TheNES version ofMario's Time Machine has similar hint-providing blocks known asinformation boxes[2] (orinfo boxes[2]).

Message Blocks (also namedMessages[3] andInformation Blocks[4]) appear inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island andits reissue to teach the player controls and give tips. This game codified their design as being a white block with a smiley facial expression and yellow cheeks.

Message Blocks return inYoshi's New Island. Their instructions depend on the control type used, whether it is traditional button-style egg-throwing or gyro tilt to aim. Some Message Block hints appear when an event first occurs, likeBaby Mario going off of Yoshi's back. Message Blocks can also explain new level features, such as ground-poundingTatami Block.

Yoshi's Story[edit]

InYoshi's Story, Message Blocks (orMessage Boxes[7]) have the exact same role as inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They were made a lot bigger, and their mouths continually move.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Message Blocks, orface blocks,[8] appear inSuper Smash Bros. as part of the stageYoshi's Island, where two appear in the background with theSuper Happy Tree. They retain this appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Melee andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]

There areHelp Boxes[9] inMario vs. Donkey Kong that work similarly to Message Blocks and give hints when hit from any side. They are black boxes with the word "HELP" and a question mark written in white. They appear in several levels, and show how to performMario's moves. In the European release, all languages other than English depict the Help Boxes as black boxes with only a white question mark.

In the game'sremake, the box has a lavender outline and now features a question mark in themodernSuper Mario typeface across all regions. Help Boxes are not present withinTime Attack mode.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Blocks functioning similarly to Message Blocks appear inSuper Princess Peach. They are referred to as "kassarbrock" in their internal file names, which is Japanese for "Perry Block". They are yellow and blue, resemblingPerry. These blocks can be hit from any side, and they always appear in every boss level before thepipe, warning the player about the boss and giving tips on how to defeat it.

Yoshi's Woolly World /Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

Message block in Yoshi's Woolly World

Only five Message Blocks appear inYoshi's Woolly World, with three in the first level and two in the third. They retain the appearance fromYoshi's Island DS; however, their mouths now continually move, like inYoshi's Story. Their cheeks are pink this time.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

Message Blocks return inYoshi's Crafted World, behaving exactly the same as in past appearances.

Minecraft[edit]

InMinecraft, the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack reskins the Command Blocks to have the same appearance as Message Blocks fromSuper Mario World.

Unused appearances[edit]

The Message Block as seen inSuper Mario World appears in concept art for theJaxi inSuper Mario Odyssey, where it is part of the bus stop.
