| {{about|the platform that appears in [[New Super Mario Bros.]]|the block originating from [[Super Mario World]] that is also known as a Spinning Block|[[Rotating Block]]}}
| | '''Spin Blocks''' are blocks (actually platforms) that are found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' When stepped on, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will start spinning. Upon [[jump]]ing, the character will fly high into the air, then glide back down slowly, allowing the brothers to travel longer distances. Pressing down while in the air caused Mario and Luigi to perform a downward drill-like move, with the ability to destroy [[Brick Block]]s. |

If they [[jump]] in this state, they will launch high into the air and slowly glide back down while spinning. The player can press {{button|Paddown}} while in the air to perform the [[Drill Spin]] and drop more quickly and destroy multiple [[Brick Block|brick]]s in a row. Spin Blocks in the [[New Super Mario Bros.#Mario vs. Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] appear only in the ice [[level]], where a [[Big Star]] will sometimes spawn. There are always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block. | |

|
| Spin Blocks were likely replaced by the [[Propeller Mushroom]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which functions very similarly, allowing the player to perform both the spinning upward launch and the Drill Spin.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Spin Block resembles the [[Countdown Platform]] from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' games]] in its shape and design, being a floating half-sphere with a scale-like platform on top, though the two objects have completely different functions.
