Pink Blocks (also parsed as pink blocks[1][2]) are objects that appear in the games Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, and Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Pink Blocks are a type of Color Block. The Pink Block objects that appear in levels consist of two pink tiles which appear to have circular objects inside of them and a row of Pink Blocks or dotted outlines of blocks between them. Pink Blocks are introduced in Room 1-1 in Mushroom Mayhem. To pick up active Pink Blocks, the player must tap the blocks with the stylus. This affects all the blocks in between the two outer pink tiles, turning them into dotted square outlines. These blocks are stored in a small counter on the top screen. If the number of stored blocks is sufficient, the player can tap a row of dotted square outlines to turn them into active Pink Blocks, subtracting the amount of Pink Blocks used from the counter.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, pink blocks are now independent of each other. Tapping an empty pink block space will fill it in, if the player has a usable pink block. Additionally, swiping the stylus across multiple spaces will empty them or fill them in, depending on if the first block touched was filled in or not. Pink Blocks serve the same purpose in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, where they first appear in Twilight Valley, and Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, where they are first seen during Level 7.
