===''Super Mario'' series===
===''Super Mario'' series===
Coin Blocks have appeared in nearly every ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game, debuting in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', with ? Block-styled Coin Blocks debuting in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. In most games, there is a time limit for how long a Coin Block continues 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. After the time limit has ended, the block will give one last coin, giving each block a minimum of two coins. Starting from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and in games where the player is able to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]], ground-pounding onto the Coin Block and holding the button that activated the Ground Pound allows the player to collect coins at a faster rate, though only if they are in a powered-up form.

A single Coin Block appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' in [[The Dance Hall]]. At the far left of the main hall, either [[Luigi]] or [[Gooigi]] must use the [[Poltergust G-00]] to spin a record on the wall to make the block come out of the wall, while the other repeatedly uses the [[Burst]] move under it to make some coins come out as well as a [[gem]]; the block becomes empty when the gem appears.
