Coin Blocks have appeared in [[Super Mario (series)|nearly every ''Super Mario'' game]], debuting in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', with ? Block-styled Coin Blocks debuting in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' (where they are called '''Multi-Coins'''.<ref>The Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide, page 5.</ref>) In most games, there is a time limit for how long it will continue to give the player coins instead of actually having a set number of coins. If the player strikes a Coin Block fast enough, they can get about 10 coins, which is usually the most coins a player can get from a Coin Block, though quite a few games make it possible to obtain more. However, if a Coin Block is left alone after the first hit, it will only give two coins. Starting from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and in games where the player is able to [[Ground Pound]], ground pounding onto the Coin Block and holding the button that activated the Ground Pound will allow the player to collect coins at a faster rate, though only if they are in a powered-up form.
