'''Music Blocks''' are objects that appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are derived from [[Note Block]]s and function identically, while also playing a short musical note when an object lands on it. Visually, they are pinkish instead of white and feature an eighth note (♪) on the sides. A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block in ''Super Mario Maker'' and ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'', or by pressing and holding a Note Block and selecting the Music Block from the context menu, in ''Super Mario Maker 2''.

The pitch of the note that is played depends on the Music Block's height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards the top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation varies depending on what object lands on the Music Block. For example, [[Mario]]'s sound is a steel drum, a [[Super Mushroom]]'s is a chiptune {{wp|pulse wave}}, and a [[Goomba]]'s is a piano. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that drop different objects onto Music Blocks to play customized music.

A total of 46 possible sounds can be produced from Music Blocks in the original ''Super Mario Maker'' including alternate forms of select objects.
