'''Mega ? Blocks''' are objects introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Aside from being larger, Mega ? Blocks are no different than [[? Block]]s.

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are encountered in [[Giant Land]] mainly. In these levels, they mostly contain regular power-ups or [[coin]]s. They also appear in bonus levels, where they can contain three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s or one of the game's three Suits (the [[Tanooki Suit|Tanooki]], [[Frog Suit|Frog]], and [[Hammer Suit]]s). In the ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' release only, [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]] can tail-whip Mega ? Blocks in normal courses.

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They appear only found in [[Toad House|Orange Toad House]]s, where they give [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] a [[Mega Mushroom]].

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered in [[World 6-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-5]], floating on water.

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear only in [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. Mega ? Blocks are used as platforms only, and they cannot be activated due to their large size.

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|shared port]]. They act as they do in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

 

*[[Jungle of the Giants]]

 

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They are encountered in [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]] and [[Super Block Land]]. A difference from earlier appearances is that their question marks are normal-sized. Hitting a Mega ? Block makes several giant [[Empty Block]]s extend out of it, similarly to [[Face block (platform)|face block]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', allowing the player to reach otherwise unreachable areas. In the port's ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' mode, Mega ? Blocks are used to scale [[Clawswipe Colosseum]] after defeating Cat [[Boom Boom]] and Cat [[Pom Pom]] once.

====''Super Mario Run''====

One Mega ? Block appears in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. It can be purchased from the Shop as a [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]] in the Kingdom Builder mode. It takes up a 2x2 area. When it is tapped, it provide a certain number of coins or [[Rally Ticket]]s, then becomes an [[Empty Block]]s with no effect for some time. Afterward, it returns to being a Mega ? Block. It is more likely to have more items than regular ? Blocks.

Mega ? Blocks are objects in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. They appear in hidden areas and contain a [[100-Coin|100 Coin]]. They share the same face design as the game's version of ? Blocks.

===''Mario Kart'' series===

Mega ? Blocks are objects in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They are encountered in [[Grumble Volcano]], a course in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===

A Mega Block makes a background appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. [[Broque Monsieur]] has a Mega ? Block in his collection, but it cannot be used.

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