A bonus block (initially stylized as Bonus Block)[1][2] is an object in Super Mario World and its reissue. It is a special green block with a white star on it, and it appears in certain levels. If Mario or Luigi collects at least 30 coins in a level and then hits the block, a 1-Up Mushroom pops out as a reward. If either character does not have at least 30 coins, he obtains only a single coin. Some levels this block can be found in are Yoshi's Island 3, Donut Ghost House, Donut Plains 3, Vanilla Secret 3, Butter Bridge 1, and Chocolate Island 3.
