Marimba Blocks are a colored variant of Note Blocks that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They share a more wooden-like appearance with two beamed eighth notes engraved rather than a quarter note, always appearing with the color pattern: green, blue, yellow, and red. Much like Note Blocks, they bounce the player higher; however, it is only when the player jumps, rather than bouncing instantly upon landing. When walked on, the blocks play a xylophone or metallophone sound, increasing in pitch the more the player walks. During Wonder Effects, they are pitched to the music's melody instead of being pitched to a specific scale.

In Tetris 99, if the Super Mario Bros. Wonder theme is applied, the Z-Tetriminos take the form of red Marimba Blocks, with the music notes also colored a slightly lighter red.
