Talk:Note Block

Note duration discrepancy
Why are they called ♪ (eighth note) blocks in the article when they appear in the game as ♩ (quarter note) blocks in the games? --Tepples 18:26, 15 January 2010 (EST)

In which games do they appear like quarter notes? –

Look at the image in the article.

Official name?
Is "♩ Block" an official name? The only official name I could find was "Jump Block" from the Super Mario World manual. - 12:01, 8 February 2010 (EST)
 * Nope. Well, time to move it.

Another official name?
According to the UK commercial for Mario Golf: World Tour (jump to 0:16), it seems that the "Note Block" name is official. --Whybee (talk) 11:36, 23 April 2014 (EDT)

Move to Note Block
It's the modern name from these blocks, from Mario Golf: World Tour, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker. Conversely, the only time they are called "Jump Blocks" is in the manual for Super Mario World.

Oh, really? OK.

Level That Uses the Red Note Block
Where should we put this image for the Note Block article? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) 04:13, 20 December 2015 (EST)

Russian name
It’s not called a Do-Re-Mi Block, it’s called a Block with a Note (Блок с Нотой). Korochun (talk) 04:03, 21 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Where did you get that name? -- R alts eye prata med mej 11:58, 21 June 2018 (EDT)

Split Note Block and Music Block
On the top of the page, there is a suggestion for this page to be split into Note Block and Music Block. I believe that we should follow through with this, because they are two seperate objects with different functions. One of the reasons for splitting being that there might be a list of all the Music Block sounds which would not necessarily belong on the original Note Block page. (EDIT: "Music Block" is referring to the orange/pink Note Block in Super Mario Maker that is often used in music levels by the community.)

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal. They're different things, having them merged in the first place is rather clunky. And also, per my comments.
 * 3) I can't believe I forgot about these two articles when creating this proposal. Per all.
 * 4) Per Doc von Schmeltwick's comment.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Split.
 * 7) Per proposal.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all.
 * 10) Per all.
 * 11) Per all.
 * 12) Guess I forgot to officially support this. Per my comments below.
 * 13) Per.

Oppose

 * 1) I don't think "Note Block but it makes different sounds" is worth splitting.

Comments
Is this type of functionality alone—simply bouncing off the blocks as opposed to bouncing off of them and having them play one note of a specific instrument in return—even worth splitting? 22:09, 24 February 2019 (EST)
 * You think there are more differences with Pink Note Block compared to this and Super Note Block? The question can help guide you. 22:21, 24 February 2019 (EST)
 * Well, for the record, isn't split from Spike Top.  23:00, 24 February 2019 (EST)

Also, it's not clear if the proposer is even referring to the specific music-producing Note Blocks from Super Mario Maker that I just mentioned. 22:30, 24 February 2019 (EST)
 * The proposal is to give Music Blocks, which are the pink, music-producing blocks from Super Mario Maker. I apologize for not being clear. --Green Mario (talk) 23:08, 24 February 2019 (EST)
 * The orange Music Blocks do indeed have a multitude of sounds, acting basically as a Mario Paint references, and have their own name (unlike the blue Spike Tops). Also unlike the blue Spike Tops, these aren't simply recolors, having an eighth note instead of a quarter note. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2019 (EST)
 * It should also be noted that items go on a different boat entirely from enemies, such as my Gray P Switch split around October. -- 01:44, 25 February 2019 (EST)

@Waluigi Time It has a separate name,, slightly different function, and different appearance, and I direct you towards this group of pages. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:05, 25 February 2019 (EST)
 * That, and Music Block does have a different purpose from Note Block, considering all the user-made music-based courses. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:33, 3 March 2019 (EST)

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The white and green blocks of New Super Mario Bros. Wii are specifically called Jump Blocks in the game guide or somewhere else?--Alternis (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2019 (EST)
 * The identical-function blocks are called Jump Blocks in Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. Note Blocks were also known as Jump Blocks in previous manuals (and weren't consistently called Note Blocks until Super Mario 3D Land), and the New Super Mario Bros. Wii block has the same internal filename as the New Super Mario Bros. U block (block_jump), so it's safe to say they're the same thing. The only other odd one in the article is the Mario & Wario appearance, which looks more like a trampoline foothold instead of a bouncing block. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:28, 3 March 2019 (EST)
