A Coin Block is a term used to describe a Brick or ? Block that gives the Player multiple coins. Coin blocks have appeared in nearly every Mario game, debuting in Super Mario Bros.. For blocks that contain multiple coins, 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. In New Super Mario Bros., striking a Coin Block enough times will produce a Super Mushroom.

In Super Paper Mario, if Mario Flips, he can see an image of a coin on the side of a Brick Block that gives him multiple coins.

In Mario Party DS, if any character lands on a Space with a Coin Block, a block will appear and the character will have to hit the block to see how many coins can come out of it in five or ten seconds.

Trivia

  • In the 2006 version of Nintendo Monopoly, Coin Block spaces and cards replace the traditional Community Chest ones. In the 2010 version, Brick Blocks are used instead.
