Star Block (Super Paper Mario)

The Star Block is a special block that first appears in Super Mario World. This block appears in certian levels in this game. If Mario or Luigi collects 30 coins in the level and they hit this block, a 1-Up Mushroom pops out as a token for reaching its goal. If they don't have at least more than 30 coins, the brothers only obtain a single coin.

In Super Paper Mario, Star Blocks make a return, though they look drastically different, and serve as goals for chapters. After one of the four heroes hits one of these blocks, the chapter will end and will go on to the next.
