A Coin Block from Super Paper Mario.

A Coin Block is a block that gives the player multiple coins. Coin Blocks can be either Brick Blocks or ? Blocks.

History

Super Mario series

Coin blocks have appeared in nearly every Super 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. If the player strikes a coin block fast enough they can get 8 coins (usually the most coins a player can get from a coin block). 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.

The ? Blocks style Coin Blocks appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

A new rectangular Coin Block from Super Mario 3D Land.

Both ? Block and Brick Block style Coin Blocks are set to appear in Super Mario 3D Land. Super Mario 3D Land also features coin blocks that Mario can wear over his body, called Hatena Boxes and rectangular coin blocks that give three coins at once.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

Coin Blocks appear in Paper Mario in which they give Mario many coins, if the block is hit fast enough.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Coin Blocks in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door have the same appearance as they do in Paper Mario.

Super Paper Mario

In Super Paper Mario, if Mario Flips into 3D, he can see an image of a coin on the side of a coin block.

Tattle

"That's a coin block. Every time you hit it, a coin will come out..."

Mario Party DS

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.
  • On the Wii Shop Channel, the loading screen for downloading any title is Mario or Luigi hitting Coin Blocks and collecting Coins, sometimes with a Fire Flower.
