A Spiked ? Block[1] is a type of block that appears in New Super Mario Bros. It is similar to a regular ? Block but with spikes added to the top. It also spins around, requiring the player to mind their timing to avoid getting hurt. Hitting or ground-pounding the non-spiked side turns the block into an Empty Block. Spiked ? Blocks appear only in World 6-3, where there are four in total, three containing a power-up.

- If Mario or Luigi ground-pounds a Spiked ? Block right as it begins to spin around, he will be flung away by the spin.
