'''Blockhoppers''' are robotic enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', found in World 2 (the desert world). They disguise themselves as harmless brick or [[? Block]]s, but once Mario approaches, they reveal their true form - blue robot-like enemies - and hop at Mario in tune with the background music. They can be told apart from ? Blocks by the fact that the question marks do not move. They are similar to the [[Micro Goomba|Microgoomba]]s that disguised themselves as blocks from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They can be defeated with either a thrown [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] Shell or a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] from above.

Blockhoppers[1] are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. They each disguise themselves as a ? Block with bricks on top of it, which can be distinguished by the fact that the question mark on it is motionless. They are found only in World 2-5. When approached by the player character, a Blockhopper reveals a black body with blue feet. Blockhoppers hop at every vocal "paah" in the background music, and Blockhoppers move in the direction that the player character if facing if he is standing on a Blockhopper. A Blockhopper's block disguise makes it harmless on contact, though it can still defeat the player character by landing on him. Blockhoppers can be defeated with a thrown Koopa Shell or a Ground Pound or by running into them using the shell dash ability using the Blue Shell. Mini Mario cannot defeat Blockhoppers due to his very small size. If the ? Block on a Blockhopper is ground-pounded, Mario or Luigi receives a coin or an item such as an ordinary ? Block.

Blockhoppers are similar to the Pile Driver Micro-Goombas that disguise themselves as blocks from Super Mario Bros. 3 and the hopping Fake Blocks and segmented Blokkabloks from Super Mario 3D Land.
