History[edit]
Mario Party[edit]
The Warp Block is used in place of aDice Block for the player's turn inMario Party. It is depicted as a colorful block with question marks on each side. The Warp Block can be bought at theMushroom Shop, and enabled and disabled at will in theMushroom Bank. If the user switches positions with a player who has aPoisonous Mushroom, the space where the latter lands only changes the color of their Player Panel.
Mario Party 2[edit]
The Warp Block costs 15Coins to buy at anItem Shop inMario Party 2; at the secondary Item Shop inBowser Land, it costs 17 coins. It can also be obtained during anItem mini-game. The Warp Block isYoshi's favorite item, so he prioritizes acquiring it as a computer player. Unlike before, the player can use the regular Dice Block on the same turn.
In the browser-based gameMelon Mayhem, it is referred to as theWarp Box.
Mario Party 3[edit]
The Warp Block has the same role inMario Party 3, except it costs only five coins.
Mario Party Superstars[edit]
The Warp Block returns inMario Party Superstars with the same function as inMario Party 2 andMario Party 3, except it costs 7 coins to buy at an Item Shop. It is now designed with a shifting rainbow color and two light blue circular arrows on a side. It also receives a variation, theSuper Warp Block, exclusive to the final five turns or from an Item Bag.
