Sprite from New Super Mario Bros.
First appearance New Super Mario Bros. (2006)
Variant of Block

Spin Blocks[1][2][3] (also lowercased)[4] are platforms that are found only in New Super Mario Bros. When Spin Blocks are stepped on, the player starts spinning rapidly. If they jump in this state, they will launch high into the air and slowly glide back down while spinning. The player can press +Control Pad down while in the air to perform the Drill Spin and drop more quickly and destroy multiple bricks in a row. Spin Blocks in the Mario vs. Luigi mode appear only in the ice level, where a Big Star will sometimes spawn. There are always coins hovering above the Spin Block.

Spin Blocks resemble the Countdown Platform from the 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.
