This article is about the visible blocks. For the hidden ones, see List of hidden blocks in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario and Luigi can collect Coins and items from floating yellow blocks, all throughout the Beanbean Kingdom. There are 4 distinctive types of blocks in the game:

  • ? Block: The basic one, both Mario and Luigi can strike it at any time. Is also the only one that can have also items inside.
  • Bros. Block: When struck by either Mario or Luigi, it will move in the direction of the arrow and change to the opposite brother's color and initial. When struck by that brother, it will move back to where it was and change again.
  • Random Block: When hit, it will release a coin and either turn red and display an "M", signaling for Mario to hit it, or turn green and display an "L", signaling for Luigi to hit it. If the correct brother hits the block, another coin is released. It is random whether it changes between colors or stays the same color once hit.
  • Rally Block: When struck, Mario and Luigi will face each other. One brother hits the block for a coin, the number on the block changes to one and the Rally Block will slowly move toward the other brother. When possible, he should jump for another coin. The number will change to two and the process repeats. The block will start to accelerate. Can be hit up to 100 times but if a brother misses the block, it stops early. This process can be repeated two more time, for 300 Coins maximum.

There are a total of 260 visible blocks to be found. This page shows the locations of each one and how to get to them. Mario Bros.' House, Yoshi Theater and the Oho Ocean do not have any visible blocks at all.

Additionally, Mario and Luigi have only one chance to collect items from blocks in Toadtown Square, Koopa Cruiser, Chucklehuck Woods Underground (the cavern area just after defeating Chuckolator), Guffawha Ruins, and the S.S. Chuckola, as these areas become inaccessible after leaving them. Finally, the blocks inside the houses in Beanbean Castle Town are only available between returning to the town from Chucklehuck Woods Underground and reaching the end of Joke's End.

There are also 8 blocks that are seen but not counted here: 1 in Koopa Cruiser (Bowser Baddies demonstrate how Bros. Block works and never move away from the block) and 7 in Woohoo Hooniversity (3 are empty versions of Bros., Random and Rally Blocks and 4 are the from the older games (do not give out Coins and never become Empty Blocks)).
