'''Blinking Blocks''' (also known as '''Beat Blocks''' or '''Beep Blocks''') are a type of [[block]] found in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. Blinking Blocks alternate between solid blocks and intangible outlines of various colors to the beat of in-game music. Because of this, Blinking Blocks function both as platforms that the player character can safely stand on when solid and as dangerous pitfalls in their "vanished" state. Depending on the game, both the physical appearance and functions of Blinking Blocks differ. | '''Blinking Blocks''' (also known as '''Beat Blocks''' or '''Beep Blocks''') are a type of [[block]] found in the 3D ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.

Beat Blocks are first seen in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', appearing exclusively in [[Beat Block Galaxy]]. In this appearance, all Beat Blocks are cube-shaped and alternate between yellow and green. The player's [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] also beeps three times before the Beat Blocks switch. Due to the effects of the [[Prankster Comet#Double Time Comet|Double Time Comet]], the mission [[Silver Stars in Double Time]] causes the Beat Blocks to alternate at four times their regular speed (despite the mission's name). | Beat Blocks are first seen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', appearing exclusively in [[Beat Block Galaxy]].
