Water Block is amove inPaper Mario. It can be learned bySushie upon reaching Super Rank. At the cost of threeFP Sushie will hop in front ofMario and envelop him in a block of water that looks similar to the blocks that can be smashed by Mario'shammer. While the block is in effect, Mario will takeone less damage from normal attacks, and two less damage from fire-based attacks andBob-omb explosions. However electric attacks, attacks that involve mashing A to finish the attack quicker (such as theJungle Fuzzy's Leech Attack), andBombshell Bill explosions will ignore the extra defense provided by Water Block. The block's duration will depend on the action command: the player must press as the red stars light up, and each successful input will add a turn to the Water Block, resulting in up to 4 turns. Reapplying the move while it is in effect will not extend its counter, but simply reset it.

InSuper Mario-kun, volume 26, during a fight withLava Piranha, Sushie uses this ability. As in the game, it serves as a shield.
