'''Blockhoppers'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=13|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They each disguise themselves as a [[? Block]] with [[Brick Block|brick]]s on top of it, which can be distinguished by the fact that the question mark on it is motionless. They are found only in [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-5]]. When approached by the player character, a Blockhopper reveals a black body with blue feet. Blockhoppers hop at every vocal "[[paah]]" in the background music, and Blockhoppers move in the direction that the player character if facing if he is standing on a Blockhopper. A Blockhopper's block disguise makes it harmless on contact, though it can still defeat the player character by landing on him. Blockhoppers can be defeated with a thrown [[Koopa Shell]] or a [[Ground Pound]] or by [[dash|running]] into them using the [[shell dash]] ability using the [[Blue Shell]]. [[Mini Mario]] cannot defeat Blockhoppers due to his very small size. If the ? Block on a Blockhopper is ground-pounded, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] receives a [[coin]] or an [[List of items|item]] such as an ordinary ? Block.

Blockhoppers are similar to the [[Pile Driver Micro-Goomba]]s that disguise themselves as blocks from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the hopping [[Fake Block]]s and segmented [[Blokkablok]]s from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
