'''Stone blocks''' (also parsed '''Stone Blocks''') are gray, stone blocks that appear during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Stone blocks appear in various locations, blocking [[Mario]]'s way. They most abundantly appear in [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], as these blocks cannot be pushed, smashed by the regular [[Hammer]], or be destroyed by other means. The only way to break them is after Mario obtains a [[Super Hammer]] from Dry Dry Ruins. Stone blocks sometimes, albeit rarely, contain enemies, such as a [[Stone Chomp]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', an [[Ultra Hammer]] is required to break stone blocks. However, the Ultra Hammer appears late in the game, and is needed to smash only a handful of stone blocks. Additionally, large stone blocks appear which require spinning the Ultra Hammer to destroy.

In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', stone blocks<ref>Wessel, Craig. ''Warioland 4''. Page 68.</ref> are often used as walls and obstacles. They can be destroyed by any attack, and they occasionally conceal [[Diamond (Wario Land 4)|Diamond]]s or paths.

Later, ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' used them as its predecessor did. Breaking them was required by some levels' [[List of Wario Land: Shake It! missions|missions]].
