===Metroid Fusion manual===
;FAKE BLOCKS
:"Fake Blocks cover secret passageways throughout the space station. Some of these are easily cracked and discovered, but some look completely normal. Fake Blocks can be destroyed with bombs or beam attacks. To find them all, try bombing and shooting walls and floors as much as possible."
===Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide===
;Fake Blocks
:"Fake Blocks come in two flavors. The first version looks like a bad repair job. The blocks are wrinkled, cracked, or otherwise out of sync with their surroundings. When you see one, destroy it with a Bomb or Beam to open a secret path. The other type of Fake Block is only revealed when you use a Bomb or Power Bomb. After the explosion, a Fake Block will turn gray, and it looks like it has been punched in the middle. It is important to remember that these blocks look completely normal until you use a bomb to reveal their positions." 
===Metroid: Zero Mission manual===
;Fake Blocks
:"Cracked blocks can be destroyed with bombs or beam attacks, but there are also some blocks with no apparant flaws that cover hidden areas or passageways. Use bombs on the floors and walls to look for these fake blocks."
===Metroid: Zero Mission: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide===
;WEAK BLOCKS
:"You can usually destroy cracked blocks by hitting them with beam shots or bomb blasts. Some weak blocks appear as normal blocks. Rarely, you'll find that you can walk or fall through normal-looking blocks."

*In Super Metroid, Fake Blocks cannot be destroyed using the Screw Attack or Speed Booster.
*In Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Dread, if an enemy is crawling on Beam Blocks and said blocks are destroyed by Samus, the creature will fall to the floor.Looygi Bros.
