First appearance Super Mario-kun Volume 10 (1994)

The Block Buster is a special ! Block created by Wanda in Super Mario-kun Volume 10. It is a parody of Mega Man's default weapon, the Mega Buster (or Rock Buster in Japanese), with an exclamation mark engraved on it.

While fighting Super Wariroido, Wanda's spell that fused her with Bowser expires and, fully in possession of her powers, makes a ! Block appear. Mario hits it to obtain its contents, but his hand breaks into it. The block then turns into the Block Buster, which Mario uses to fire a Charge Shot and break Wariroid's Power Suit, defeating him.
