A Coin Block from Super Paper Mario.

A Coin Block is a block that gives the player multiple coins. Coin Blocks resemble either ? Blocks or Brick Blocks. 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 New Super Mario Bros. Wii if the player hits a Coin Block enough times, five Coins will fly out before the Coin Block turns into a used block.

Coin Blocks that resemble ? Blocks appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Coin Blocks that resemble both ? Blocks and Brick Blocks are set to appear in Super Mario 3D.

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.
