Pressing {{button|Paddown}} on the D-Pad while in the air causes the player to perform the [[Drill Spin]], which causes the player to drop more quickly and has the ability to destroy [[Brick Block]]s in a row.

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 are also found in the [[New Super Mario Bros.#Mario vs. Luigi|Mario vs. Luigi]] two-player mode. A Spin Block appears only on the ice level, where a [[Big Star]] eventually appears. There are always [[coin]]s hovering above the Spin Block.


Spin Blocks resemble the [[Countdown Platform]] from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' games]] in its shape and design, though they have completely different functions. 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.
[[Spindrift]]s were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but they were replaced by Spin Blocks in the final build.
