The POW Block (POWブロック, POW Block) is an item from the Mario series. OriginThe POW Block made its debut in Mario Bros. and has become a recurring item in later Mario games. It is a black block with a blue-colored shell with the word "POW" written in the center. In Mario Bros., the POW Block turns the enemies upside-down when struck, but gets smaller after each hit. After three hits, the POW Block disappears for the rest of the game. In Super Mario Bros. 2, the POW Block reappears as a single-use item which can be picked up and thrown. Once thrown, it will create powerful shockwaves upon impact that can defeat all enemies on-screen. Overview Mario near a POW Block in SSB.  The Mario Bros. stage. The POW Block is in the middle of the lowest floor. As a stage elementIn Super Smash Bros., POW Blocks appear in intervals in the Mushroom Kingdom stage. When attacked, it shakes the screen and deals 20% damage and considerable upwards knockback to every character currently touching the ground or a platform, often KO'ing characters over 100%. Unlike in the original Mario Bros. game, it can only be hit once before disappearing, although it will respawn again after a short time. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the POW Block appears at the bottom of the Mario Bros. stage, based on its use in the game of the same name. In this stage, it deals no damage, but causes grounded characters to bounce upwards (which interrupts charging smash attacks and the like) when struck. It also lands a hit on every grounded enemy on the stage. After getting hit three times, it will disappear, but returns to the stage after a while. As an itemThe POW Block debuts as a throwing item in Super Smash Bros. 4. The POW Block can be picked up and thrown, or struck by an attack, triggering an earthquake which deals 10% damage and moderate vertical knockback to opponents and items on the ground when it lands. A direct hit on an opponent will deal even more damage on impact, even to opponents hit in the air, and heavy hitlag; if they are on the ground they will also be hit by the earthquake, and take more damage still. Upon being reflected, the POW Block's hitbox will transfer ownership as normal, but if it hits said player's hurtbox at the same time as their reflector, it will activate instantly rather than bouncing back, though ownership is still transferred. Due to the way the Franklin Badge functions, this will always happen if reflected by a Franklin Badge. If the earthquake deals damage to a Cucco or Bee Hive, the summoned Cuccos/bees will target whoever the hitbox belonged to, as with other items. It can be used three times, shrinking after each use until it disappears after the third use. If it is dropped in the air or due to the holder being hit, it will not activate upon hitting the ground; instead, it will just come to a rest. It cannot be manually dropped on the ground, however, and will be thrown forward instead. It KOs at about 120%. When used, a second must pass before it can be picked up again. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, setting off a POW Block will now also activate any other POW Blocks on the stage, with the damage stacking with the more blocks involved. If the maximum of eight POW Blocks are on a stage at once, activating one will cause all grounded opponents to take 80% damage. It now KOs midweights at around 130%. Damage output
In Smash TourThe POW Block appears as a blue trophy item: when used, it makes all opponents drop some characters, which fall near to them on the board and can then be picked up by any player. TrophyThe POW Block trophy appears in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it is part of the Mario Bros. Trophy Box.
