'''Mega ? Blocks''' are big [[? Block]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario All-Stars|its]] [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remakes]].

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario All-Stars'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS 4-1.png|thumb|left|A Mega ? Block in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Mega ? Blocks are found mainly in the game's World 4 ([[Giant Land]]). In these levels, they mostly contain regular power-ups or [[coin]]s. They also appear in bonus levels, where they can contain three three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s or one of the game's three Suits (the [[Tanooki Suit|Tanooki]], [[Frog Suit|Frog]], and [[Hammer Suit]]s).

While they could not be tail whipped at all in the NES and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' allows [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]] to tail whip Mega ? Blocks in normal courses.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Mega ? Blocks are also found in [[Mega Mushroom]] [[Toad House]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they give [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] a Mega Mushroom.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====

Mega ? Blocks reappear, albeit rarely, in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They only appear in [[World 6-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-5]], floating on water.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Giant Land.png|thumb|Two Mega ? Blocks in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', they appear in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. Mario and Luigi are unable to hit these blocks (as they are too large), and they are merely used as platforms throughout the level.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:GiantQuestionblockNSMBU.png|frame|left]]

Mega ? Blocks return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' as blocks in various [[Soda Jungle]] courses.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', [[face block|Mega ? Blocks]] appear in the level [[Super Block Land]], though unlike in previous appearances, the question mark is the same size as those seen on regular-sized ? Blocks. When hit, multiple giant [[Empty Block]]s extend out of it, allowing the player to reach otherwise unreachable areas.

====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''====
In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', Mega ? Blocks are located in hidden areas and contain a [[giant coin]]. They share the same design as the game's version of ? Blocks.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Broque Monsieur]] has a Mega ? Block in his collection, but it is unusable throughout the game.

===''Mario Kart Wii'' / ''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
Mega ? Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They appear in [[Grumble Volcano]] in all three games.

===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
Mega ? Blocks appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' in [[Mondo Woods]]. They are normal ? Blocks that were enchanted by [[Kamek]].

===''Super Mario Run''===
Mega ? Blocks appear  ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', where they can be collected as buildings for [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Kingdom Builder]].
