In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Jump Blocks can be used to jump high by pressing the jump button as the player is launched upward, and occasionally hold a power-up for the player if they bounce on it or hit it like a [[? Block]]. | |||

Also in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', there is a special variety of salmon-colored Jump Blocks called [[Super Note Block|Magic Note Block]]s hidden in some courses that catapult Mario or Luigi to [[Coin Heaven]], where many [[coin]]s and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] could be found. Two of the e-Reader card levels in [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|the GBA remake]] consist entirely of Jump Blocks: [[Magical Note Blocks|06: Magical Note Blocks]] and [[A Musical Trek|11: A Musical Trek]]. | |||

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Jump Blocks are redesigned with a white-green checkered pattern, although they act the same. These checkered blocks are uncommon and can be found in stages such as [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-5]], [[Lakitu]] Enemy Courses, and in [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy's]] [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|castle]]. | |||

Note Blocks later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' (making their first appearance in a 3D ''Mario'' platformer game), where they serve the same purpose. However, they retain their original designs, and most of them are two blocks wide (though in the box art and in certain courses, they retain their earlier proportions). They also make musical sounds and notes appear when they are jumped on; in a pre-release trailer, they can be heard making the "zip-zoo" noise [[Yoshi]] makes when mounted, but this was removed from the final game. As of this game, Note Blocks do not hold power-ups. Magic Note Blocks return and are renamed [[Super Note Blocks]]; they once again send Mario to a Coin Heaven area, but now are twice as long, flash colors, and have a white note on their sides. | |||
