Page 160.</ref>) is a type of bouncy [[block]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', usually appearing as a white cube with an animated quarter note (♩) on each lateral side. [[Mario]] bounces up and down infinitely while on top of one, and he can achieve greater vertical movement if the [[jump]] button is pressed as he is being launched upward. | ||

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]] and [[A Musical Trek]]. | |||

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 orchestral hit noise used for [[Yoshi]]'s voice in older games, but this was removed from the final game. 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. | ||
