In ''Super Mario World'', Rotating Blocks replace [[Brick Block|brick]]s from previous ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games and share most of those blocks' attributes. Normal Rotating Blocks spin around for a short time when hit from beneath or attacked as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] (or Caped [[Luigi]]), but some act as [[? Block|Prize Blocks]] and reveal an item. [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] can destroy normal Rotating Blocks with a [[Spin Jump]] from above. [[Chargin' Chuck]]s can also destroy Rotating Blocks by charging into them. Also, enemies such as [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s may hide in Rotating Blocks, and break out to attack Mario once he approaches | In ''Super Mario World'', Rotating Blocks replace [[Brick Block|brick]]s from previous ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games and share most of those blocks' attributes.

Only a maximum of four Rotating Blocks may be spinning at any given moment. | ||

Rotating Blocks replace [[Brick Block]]s in the ''Super Mario World'' style. To be consistent with the other styles, Rotating Blocks are affected by [[P Switch]]es instead of [[Empty Block]]s, unlike in ''Super Mario World''. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', if the player presses a P Switch, any [[Ice Block]]s with a coin frozen inside temporarily become frozen Rotating Blocks (resembling the Ice Blocks' design from the original ''Super Mario World''). However, when hit from below or the sides, they do not spin. | ||
