Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
InSuper Mario 3D Land, Spike Blocks appear inWorld 5-3 as clusters of smaller, blue blocks with yellow spikes (the same coloration asSpike Bars) on the front and top sides. They serve as hazards while riding theLifts that move towards them.
Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Spike Blocks reappear inSuper Mario 3D World andSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury as obstacles. They damage the player when they touch them. There are blue and red variants of Spike Blocks. The blue Spike Blocks are stationary while the red Spike Blocks move. Spike Blocks can be destroyed byMega Mario, rewarding 200 points when they are destroyed.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Spike Blocks reappear inSuper Mario Maker 2, where they are placable objects found in the "Gizmos" category. It is only present in theSuper Mario 3D World game style and is similar to theSpike Trap. There are three variants of Spike Blocks that can be used. Yellow Spike Blocks are on timers which cause the spikes to protrude and retract, functioning similar to the retracting spike obstacles seen in multiple levels in the originalSuper Mario 3D World such asSpiky Spike Bridge. The red and blue Spike Blocks' spikes can become inactive or active under the control of anON/OFF Switch, and as such can be toggled. The player can stand on Spike Blocks when their spikes are retracted.
The Spike Block is the only course element inSuper Mario Maker 2 to have had its category changed via an update. Prior to the version 3.0.0 update, it was part of the "Terrain" category, while version 3.0.0 made it part of the "Gizmos" category instead. This was most likely done to group it with the other ON/OFF Switch-affiliated items (like theDotted-Line Block,Conveyor Belt, andON/OFF Trampoline).
