Flying Prize Blocks | Flying Prize Blocks debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They appear in a few [[level]]s. They may fly back and forth or fly left constantly. They may give Mario a [[Fire Flower]], [[coin]], or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. It is also possible for a Flying Prize Block to give Mario a [[Cape Feather]], a behavior that goes [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|unused]]; a feather spawned from this block moves to the left after popping out, instead of to the right like with other blocks containing Feathers. | ||

If Mario selects any levels they are on, he can obtain a [[Fire Flower]], [[1-Up Mushroom]], [[Mini Mushroom]], [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Blue Shell]] from the blocks. However, if Mario hits a [[checkpoint]], dies in a level, and comes back to said level with a red Flying ? Block in it, there is a chance the block will not appear. The yellow Flying ? Blocks also appear throughout levels, too. In {{world-link|7|ghostn|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, [[Phantom Hand]]s also point at '''Invisible Flying ? Blocks'''<ref>Loe, Casey.
