Assembly Block

Assembly Blocks are special type of platform in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.
==Description==
They come in different varieties, including red or brown octagons, purple cubes, and green and blue rectangular platforms, the latter being the most common. Ordinarily, they float around in space; however, when Mario or Luigi comes near them, they suddenly move into place around him, creating a path for him above a bottomless pit.

===Super Mario Galaxy===
Assembly Blocks first appear in the Space Junk Galaxy and Bowser's Galaxy Reactor. In the Space Junk Galaxy, Mario come into contact with many of these platforms at the end of the first mission. These platforms expand into five different pathways, each one of these holding a Silver Star at the end. Mario has to pass over the Assembly Blocks and collect the five Silver Stars to form a Power Star. Mario also show itself in the Speedy Comet mission and the Purple Comet mission for the galaxy, as both missions involve the same area. The format for the Space Junk path is different in the Purple Comet mission, to accommodate the 100 of the Purple Coins. In Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, it appear near the Ice Planet and in the 5th area, being the only means to pass over these areas. These platforms are different, as they are fragile and shatter several seconds after the path is formed. Near the Ice Planet, there are cube-shaped Assembly Blocks made of ice that Mario can skate on. The 5th area is composed almost entirely of floating Assembly Blocks in the shape of rectangular prisms. Mario must walk along these platforms in 2D while avoiding Fire Bars and encountering gravity fields.
===Super Mario Galaxy 2===
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Assembly Blocks reappear in the Cloudy Court Galaxy and Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy. It appears only in the Cosmic Clone mission in the Cloudy Court Galaxy, where they form paths for Mario in lieu of the Cloud Flower. Mario also come into contact with Assembly Blocks acting as walls, as he needs to wall-jump up an area instead of using clouds. Only the green and blue rectangular variety of them appears here. In the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy, Assembly Blocks also appears on the Palette Planet. Mario must ride the Star Ball across a short pathway of these platforms. Again, only the green and blue rectangular variety appears here.
