| | '''Spin Blocks''' are platforms that are found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. When stepped on, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will start spinning and will fly high into the air, then glide back down slowly, allowing the player to travel longer distances. Pressing the down button on the D-Pad while in the air causes Mario and Luigi to perform the [[Drill Spin]], which has the ability to destroy [[Brick Block]]s in a row or just to descend faster. |

| | Spin Blocks are also found in the [[Mario_vs._Luigi#Mario_vs._Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] 2-player mode. It only appears on the ice level, where a [[Star]] will eventually appear. There are however always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block. |

Page 22.</ref> are [[platform]]s that are found only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' When Spin Blocks are stepped on, the player starts spinning rapidly. If they [[jump]] in this state, they will launch high into the air and slowly glide back down while spinning. This move is similar to what would happen after Mario jumps on a [[Spindrift]] or a [[Fly Guy]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Pressing {{button|Paddown}} while in the air causes the player to perform the [[Drill Spin]], which causes them to drop more quickly and has the ability to destroy multiple [[Brick Block|brick]]s in a row.

| Spin Blocks are also found in the [[New Super Mario Bros.#Mario vs. Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] two-player mode. A Spin Block appears only in the ice [[level]], where a [[Big Star]] will sometimes spawn. There are always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block.
| | The movements Mario or Luigi make when they jump on the Spin Block is similar to the movements they make when they use the [[Propeller Mushroom]]/[[Propeller Block]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. |
| | |
| Spindrifts were [[list of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but they were replaced by Spin Blocks in the final build.
| |
| | |
| Spin Blocks were likely replaced by the [[Propeller Mushroom]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which functions very similarly, allowing the player to perform both the spinning upward launch and the Drill Spin.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Spin Block resembles the [[Countdown Platform]] from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' games]] in its shape and design, being a floating half-sphere with a scale-like platform on top, though the two objects have completely different functions.
