List of ? Blocks in Super Paper Mario

This article is about the visible ? Blocks from Super Paper Mario. For the hidden ones from same game, see List of hidden blocks in Super Paper Mario.

This is a list of ? Blocks from Super Paper Mario. There are 363 visible ? Blocks in the game. They contain coins or items. Some of them are also disguised as Brick Blocks and contain a number of coins.

Flipside, Flopside, the entirety of Chapter 6 (Sammer's Kingdom, Sammer's Early Duels, World of Nothing, Sammer's Proving Grounds and Sammer's Endgame) and Castle Bleck Foyer are the only locations without any visible ? Block.

Unlike the previous two entries, the ? Blocks respawn upon leaving the area, so subsequent visits allow the contents of the blocks to be collected again.
