Variant of Brick Block

Fake Blocks[1] are enemies that appear in Super Mario 3D Land . They are dark-brown Brick Blocks with tails and white eyes representing angry faces. Fake Blocks appear in plain grasslands and Airship levels. They appear alongside regular Brick Blocks, but they are noticeable by their darker tone, along with the subtle shape of their closed eyes. If the player gets too close, a Fake Block will reveal itself and jump after them, swinging its tail when it reaches them. Fake Blocks can be defeated with the swing of a Tanooki tail or a Ground Pound or by jumping up and breaking the blocks, though the latter works only when they are not active. Fake Blocks also appear on the game cover, which depicts them the same color as Brick Blocks, not a darker shade of brown like in-game.
