Spin Blocks[1][2][3] (also parsed spin blocks)[4] are platforms that are found only in New Super Mario Bros. When Spin Blocks are stepped on, the player starts spinning and jumps high into the air, then glides back down slowly. Pressing while in the air causes the player to perform the Drill Spin, which causes the player to drop more quickly and has the ability to destroy Brick Blocks in a row.
Spin Blocks are also found in the Mario vs. Luigi two-player mode. A Spin Block appears only on the ice level, where a Big Star eventually appears. There are always coins hovering above the Spin Block.
Spindrifts were originally going to appear in New Super Mario Bros., but they were replaced by Spin Blocks in the final build.
