Power Bomb Blocks are a type of destructible block that appear in Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid: Samus Returns, and Metroid Dread. As their name suggests, Power Bomb Blocks can only be destroyed by Power Bombs, although an exception is made in Dread where the Hyper Beam can also destroy them. Power Bomb Blocks, like other destructible blocks, are identical in appearance to the blocks around them until they are revealed by Morph Ball Bombs or Missiles.
Their counterpart in Metroid Prime is Bendezium, and in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes it is Denzium.
