Roulette Blocks reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' with the same look as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. They can give Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, Super Stars, Super Leaves, Boomerang Flowers (from [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 5]] onwards), and [[Super Bell]]s. Similar-looking [[Slot Block]]s are introduced in this game in [[Lucky House]]s, though they do not give items. Instead, they give coins depending on how many images are matched, from 10 (no matches) to 777 (four-of-a-kind) coins.
