Marimba Block
Colorful note blocks from Super Mario Bros. Wonder
First appearance Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)
Latest appearance Tetris 99 (38th Maximus Cup, cameo) (2023)

Marimba Blocks, also described as "musical blocks"[1] or "music note blocks",[1] are a colored variant of Note Blocks that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They share a more wooden-like appearance with two beamed eighth notes engraved rather than a quarter note, always appearing with the color pattern: green, blue, yellow, and red. Much like Note Blocks, they bounce the player higher; however, it is only when the player jumps, rather than bouncing instantly upon landing. When walked on, the blocks play a xylophone or metallophone sound, increasing in pitch the more the player walks. During musical Wonder Effects, they are pitched to the music's melody instead of being pitched to a specific scale.

In Tetris 99, if the Super Mario Bros. Wonder theme is applied, the Z-Tetriminos take the form of red Marimba Blocks, with the music notes also colored a slightly lighter red.
