'''Red and blue blocks''',<ref name=Prima>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 263.</ref> also referred to as '''colorful blocks''',<ref name=Prima/> are special stage elements appearing in the [[Flip-Out Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are walls that push out of the main giant wall sections in the [[galaxy]]. When the player [[spin]]s, the red blocks push out of the main wall sections while the blue blocks retract into the main wall sections, and vice versa. The player can use these walls as temporary platforms or [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]] up them to access other areas of the [[level]]. [[Cosmic Clone]]s are able to pass through them in order to follow the player's exact movements, just as they are able to pass through any other obstacle they encounter if necessary.

The same type of wall makes another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'' in the [[Switcheroo]] level, where they extend out of the wall and retract into the wall in the same way, except now, they are activated by switches on the walls instead of by spinning. In these games, they are used to allow the player(s) to cross large gaps or abysses, or to defeat certain [[List of enemies|enemies]] if the enemies are positioned in front of the wall sections.
