Upgrade all your partners and learn their special moves by using our image-filled Paper Mario Super Block locations guide.
A Super Block is a type of upgrade scattered about the Mushroom Kingdom in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64. When you find one of these floating blocks, be sure to jump underneath it to bust out that blue orb and give one of your partners an upgrade. Each of your eight partners can be upgraded twice, first to Super Rank and later to Ultra Rank. Each time a partner is upgraded, they learn a new move and their damage output is increased by one. There are 16 Super Blocks in total, two for each partner.
You can only upgrade a partner to Ultra Rank after you retrieve the Ultra Stone. This special item can’t be obtained until Chapter 5 where Raphael the Raven will gift it to you in Jade Jungle.
For our Paper Mario Super Block guide, we have each Super Block listed out by location. We’ll also note it you need to be farther into the game before you can obtain a particular Super Block. Check out our Paper Mario 64 guide hub for extra help with chapters, Star Pieces, and more!
