(I haven't checked to see if the Japanese name of Jump Blocks in other games is the same, but it should be enough.)
(The SMB3 JPN manual also calls them Jump Block, so Jump Block it is.)

A '''Jump Block''' (also known as a '''Music Block''', a '''Note Block''' or a '''♩ Block''') is a type of bouncy block that helps [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] achieve extremely high [[jump]]s. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', then in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Jump Blocks can be used to jump high (by pressing the jump button as the player is launched upward) and occasionally hold a power-up or [[Star]] for the player if he or she bounces on it or hits it like a [[? Block]]. In ''Super Mario World'', they serve the same purpose.

These blocks also appear in the TV series, ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where some have a ♫ instead of a ♩.

In ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', they looked and acted more like [[springboard]]s. They do not have their musical note as in other games, nor are they often suspended in midair.


In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', there are blocks that behave the same but appear different called [[White-Green Checkered Block]]s.
