'''Gold Blocks''' are golden [[Brick Block]]s that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They appear when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hit a [[Coin Block]] at least 10 times. When this happens, Mario or Luigi can wear the Gold Block over his head, thus producing [[coin]]s from it if he keeps moving, making it very similar in function to the [[Coin Box]]es from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. If Mario or Luigi runs fast enough, the amount of coins produced from the block increases. When a Gold Block is worn, the face side of it resembles Mario/Luigi's face, as shown in the image below. The Gold Block disappears after 100 coins have been collected from it, or if Mario or Luigi is hit while wearing it. While playing in co-op mode, if a player ground pounds on another player wearing a Gold Block, they will lose the Gold Block as well. If Mario/Luigi grabs the [[Goal Pole]] while still wearing the Gold Block, he can continue to get coins from going down the pole and jumping off of it, finally losing it after landing on the ground. Hitting one from either side, from above, or while wearing another Gold Block causes 50 coins to spout out of the top before it disappears. The Gold Block will also protect against the stone spell used by the [[Koopalings]] in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]] and [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], as well as lava, though only once. Gold Blocks can also be found as is in the downloadable [[Gold Rush Pack]] for [[Coin Rush]].

'''Flying Gold Blocks'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' European English manual</ref> also appear in the game and are seen flying around in their idle golden forms, since there are no flying Coin Blocks. They occasionally appear for every 200,000 points earned and fly above Mario on the world map, and can be used right away upon entering a level, similar to the red [[Flying Question Block|Flying ? Block]]s in the first ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Also, when the score reach the maximum of 999,999,999 points, Flying Gold Blocks will always appear no matter how many points Mario earns.

A [[trophy]] of Mario wearing a Gold Block appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

|''Oh no! Has the karma for smashing all those blocks finally caught up with Mario, and now he's doomed to wear a block on his head forever? Not at all! This Gold Block gives Mario coins whenever he runs and jumps. Cha-ching! Everyone loves getting more coins!''

| ''Uh-oh! Is this payback for all the blocks Mario's smashed over the years?! Oh, wait. It's actually an awesome bonus! With the Gold Block on his head, running and jumping make that familiar sound: Da-ding! Da-ding! Da-di-di-di-di-ding! That's right - you get coins! Coins galore!''
