Not to be confused with Note Block, which is sometimes named Music Block.

First appearance Super Mario Maker (2015)
Latest appearance Super Mario Maker 2 (2019)
Effect Play a music note, jump higher, release items.
Variant of Note Block

Music Blocks are objects that appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. They are derived from Note Blocks and function identically, while also playing a short musical note when an object lands on it. Visually, they are pinkish instead of white and feature an eighth note (♪) on the sides. A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, or by pressing and holding a Note Block and selecting the Music Block from the context menu, in Super Mario Maker 2.

The pitch of the note that is played depends on the Music Block's height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards the top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation varies depending on what object lands on the Music Block. For example, Mario's sound is a steel drum, a Super Mushroom's is a chiptune pulse wave, and a Goomba's is a piano. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that drop different objects onto Music Blocks to play customized music.

A total of 46 possible sounds can be produced from Music Blocks in the original Super Mario Maker including alternate forms of select objects.

An asterisk (*) signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.
1 - Achievable by dropping coins with a POW Block, or if they are spawned from a Warp Pipe or a Bill Blaster; can also be achieved if they have a parachute attached in Super Mario Maker 2.
2 - Replaced by Mario's sound if he rides on a Shoe/Yoshi.
3 - Normally, a Yoshi's Egg hatches into a Yoshi as soon as it lands on a Music Block, but if it is spawned from a Bill Blaster, it remains in the Egg form until it lands on solid ground or collides with a wall.
4 - Achievable by inserting a Rocky Wrench into a Music Block and releasing it, or if it is spawned from a Bill Blaster; can also be achieved if it is dropped from a Twister or thrown by SMB2 Mario in Super Mario Maker 2.

All sounds from Super Mario Maker return in Super Mario Maker 2. Objects exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World style also do not have sounds, as Music Blocks are absent in this game style. Finally, the Super Leaf, Cape Feather, Propeller Mushroom, Power Balloon, Boo, Boo Buddies, and Lava Bubble do not have sounds, despite the fact that they can land on a Music Block if they are attached to a parachute. A total of 25 new sounds are present, listed below:

An asterisk (*) signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.
5 - Achievable by dropping a 10-Coin/30-Coin/50-Coin with a POW Block, or if they have a parachute attached.
6 - Replaced by the player's sound if they are in a Dry Bones Shell.
