 ==Origin==
 [[File:MarioBros.png|thumb|left|The POW Block as it originally appeared in ''Mario Bros.'']]
-The POW Block originates from ''[[mariowiki:Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', where, like in the game's stage version in ''Brawl'', it turns every grounded enemy upside-down when struck and gets smaller after each hit disappearing after the third. It reappeared, with a different design, in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 2}}'' as a single-use item that can be picked up and thrown, defeating all enemies on the screen, and returned much later in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'' and subsequent games of the ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.|series}}'' series with the same function but returning to its original design, also used in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. The POW Block's behavior in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is a combination of its version in the original ''Mario Bros.'', with its three uses, and its versions in later and contemporary games, where it can be picked up and thrown.
+The POW Block made its debut in ''[[mariowiki:Mario Bros. (game)|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 ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 2}}'', the POW Block reappears as a single-use item which can be picked up and throw. Once thrown, it will create powerful shockwaves upon impact that can defeat all enemies on-screen.

+==Overview==
 [[File:Pow.gif|thumb|[[Mario (SSB)|Mario]] near a POW Block in ''SSB''.]]
-POW Blocks appear at intervals in certain locations on the [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)|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.

-The POW Block returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' on the stage [[Mario Bros.]], based on its use in [[Mario Bros. (game)|the game of the same name]]. This time around, the block 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.

-The POW Block appears as an [[item]]. It can be picked up and thrown, or struck by an attack, dealing 10 damage and causing strong knockback to opponents on the ground when it lands. It can be used 3 times, shrinking after each use, similar to in the original ''Mario Bros.'' If it is dropped, it will be tossed forward instead, but not activate; instead, it will just come to a rest. It KOs at about 120%. When used, a second must pass before it can be picked up again.

If the maximum of eight POW Blocks are on a stage at once, activating one will cause all grounded opponents to take 96% damage and huge knockback.

-==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
-The POW Block appears on the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario Bros. stages with the same functionality as in ''SSB64'' and ''Brawl'', respectively. It also makes its return as an item, but with altered properties: setting off a POW Block will now also activate any other POW Blocks on the stage, with the damage and knockback 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 96% damage and huge knockback.
