A Backflip Block is a type of Block that first appears in Super Mario Run. They have a similar appearance to Long Jump Blocks and Pause Blocks (when the player is standing on it), except they are colored blue with a red arrow. When the player taps the screen while running across these blocks, they will perform a Backflip. Since the player runs forward automatically, this is used to move backward in certain situations. Similar to the Long Jump Block, players can press and hold the screen to perform a bigger Backflip. If the player does a Landing Roll on a Backflip Block, the Backflip takes priority over the Rolling Jump.
