Mario has a short time to gather the Blue Coins, after which they disappear. The block cannot be reused.

During the time that Blue Coins appear on the screen, a timer can be heard, which ticks faster when the time is running out. The Blue Coins will also blink faster when they are about to disappear. Due to its role, the Blue Coin Block is comparable to the [[P Switch|Switch Block]], except that it does not change [[coin]]s into [[Brick Block]]s and vice versa. | ||
