Not to be confused with Note Block.

Template:Item-infobox Music Blocks are objects that appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. They are derived from Note Blocks, and function identically, while also playing a short musical note when an object lands on it. A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block, in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS; or by pressing and holding a Note Block and selecting the Music Block from the context menu, in Super Mario Maker 2.

The pitch of the note that is played depends on the Music Block's height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards the top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation varies depending on what object lands on the Music Block. For example, Mario's sound is a steel drum, a Super Mushroom's is a chiptune pulse wave, and a Goomba's is a piano. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that drop different objects onto Music Blocks to play customized music.

Sounds

Super Mario Maker

This section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

There are a total of 51 possible sounds that can be produced from Music Blocks in the original Super Mario Maker including alternate forms of select objects.

* signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.

Super Mario Maker 2

Most sounds from Super Mario Maker return in the sequel, and a total of 8 new sounds are present.

Objects exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World style also do not have sounds, as Music Blocks are absent in this game style. Finally, the Super Leaf, Cape Feather, Propeller Mushroom, Rocky Wrench, Boo, Boo Buddies, and Lava Bubble do not have sounds, despite the fact that they can land on a Music Block if they are attached to a parachute.

* signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.
