'''Blocky''' is an [[enemy]] that appears relatively frequently throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. He has a gray or pale purple dense body of stone that is shaped like a cube with two round eyes and a simple mouth. Two cuboids made of the same material are located below the cubic body and serve as the creature's feet. He appears to be very heavy, a fact which is reflected by his main method of attack: trying to crush [[Kirby]] with his body mass. Defeating and inhaling him yields the [[Stone]] ability for Kirby. Blocky usually appears as a [[Mid-Boss]], or inherits another function that consists of opposing Kirby. Blocky follows a similar concept as [[Rocky]], who is also a creature made of stone, albeit Rocky more resembles a natural rock.

In early games, Blocky was much simpler in appearance and had a smile as his default expression. Starting with his appearance in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', he was given an overhaul, now bearing a tall cobbled frame with a more dour expression. His appearance in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' is more different still, depicting him with long skinny arms and legs and a sumo wrestler's outfit.

Blocky appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' as one of six Mid Bosses in total. He is encountered alongside all the other Mid Bosses in the sixth stage of the [[Iceberg (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Iceberg]]. In battle, Blocky tries to rush into Kirby, crushing him into the wall, or he jumps around and attempts to flatten Kirby underneath him. The heavy impact of Blocky's attack create [[Recoil Star]]s which Kirby can inhale and use as projectile weapons against this Mid Boss. After Blocky is defeated, Kirby can inhale him to obtain the Stone ability. Blocky also appears in the enemy parade during the [[False Ending]].

{{Quote|No, King, its a monster. A super-high-density monster. We like to call him Blocky.|[[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] describing Blocky in [[A Blockbuster Battle]]}}
In [[A Blockbuster Battle]], Blocky is a [[monster]] who is called forth by [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] from [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. This version of Blocky looks quite different from the video game version (though it is revealed that the monster is made up of four smaller Blockys who do somewhat resemble the video game version) sporting well-defined hands and feet, bearing a more cuboid shape and wearing Japanese sumo wrestling gear. Blocky is described as a 'super-high-density' creature, making him almost immune to Kirby's inhale.

Blocky starts off as a small nondescript brick which can be carried in a character's hands, and grows to his full size when ready to battle. Blocky is so heavy that he is able to crash through several floors of [[Castle Dedede]] at once using a stomp. Due to his incredible weight, Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff have to trick him into standing by a cliff in order to successfully move him with Kirby's inhale. This causes Blocky to split into four smaller pieces. Kirby is then able to inhale one of these to gain the [[Stone]] ability, and then defeat the other three by sinking them into the ocean.

Interestingly, the fourth piece of Blocky ends up getting spat out by Kirby later, instead of being absorbed completely.
