| | '''Spin Blocks'''<ref>Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 20.</ref> are platforms that are only found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. When stepped on, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will start spinning and will fly high into the air, then glide back down slowly, allowing the player to travel longer distances. Pressing {{button|Paddown}} on the D-Pad while in the air causes Mario and Luigi to perform the [[Drill Spin]], which has the ability to destroy [[Brick Block]]s in a row or just to descend faster. |

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]] mode 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]]''; the Propeller Mushroom functions very similarly, allowing the player to perform both the spinning upward launch and the Drill Spin. | | Spin Blocks are also found in the [[Mario_vs._Luigi#Mario_vs._Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] 2-player mode. It only appears on the ice level, where a [[Star]] will eventually appear. There are however always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block. |

| | The movements Mario or Luigi make when they jump on the Spin Block is similar to the movements they make when they use the [[Propeller Mushroom]]/[[Propeller Block]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. |

| *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.
