Page 22.</ref> are [[platform]]s that are found only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' When Spin Blocks are stepped on, the player starts spinning rapidly. If they [[jump]] in this state, they will launch high into the air and slowly glide back down while spinning. This move is similar to what would happen after Mario jumps on a [[Spindrift]] or a [[Fly Guy]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Pressing {{button|Paddown}} while in the air causes the player to perform the [[Drill Spin]], which causes them to drop more quickly and has the ability to destroy multiple [[Brick Block|brick]]s in a row. | |||
[[ | Spin Blocks are also found in the [[New Super Mario Bros.#Mario vs. Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] two-player mode. A Spin Block appears only in the ice [[level]], where a [[Big Star]] will sometimes spawn. There are always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block. | ||
Spindrifts were [[list of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but they were replaced by Spin Blocks in the final build. | |||
Spin Blocks were likely replaced by the [[Propeller Mushroom]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which functions very similarly, allowing the player to perform both the spinning upward launch and the Drill Spin. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The Spin Block resembles the [[Countdown Platform]] from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' games]] in its shape and design, being a floating half-sphere with a scale-like platform on top, though the two objects have completely different functions. | |||
