Metal Blocks (also formatted asmetal blocks) are large metallicblocks that are found in thePaper Mario series. These blocks typically serve as barriers that block a path to either a new or a hidden area. The only wayMario can destroy the blocks and proceed beyond them is by using theUltra Hammer, which he finds in Chapter 5 during his expedition intoMt. Lavalava.Luigi will be sitting on one after Mario gets an Ultra Hammer.

InPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a few metal blocks can be found in two rooms of thePalace of Shadow Tower. Here, they cannot be destroyed, even with the Ultra Hammer; instead, Mario must smash the correspondingstone blocks in the other room to eliminate them.

Profiles[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

  • Tattles:
    • "Your Hammer isn’t strong enough to break this block. You might be able to break it with a more powerful Hammer." (without Ultra Hammer)
    • "Your Hammer can shatter this block. Break it down, Mario!" (with Ultra Hammer)

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

  • Tattles
    • GameCube: "You can't break this block. Seriously. No matter what you do, you can't break this."
    • Nintendo Switch: "This is a Metal Block. No matter what you do, you can't break this. Seriously."
