A Coin Block is a block that gives the player multiple coins. Coin Blocks can be either Brick Blocks or ? Blocks.

History

Super Mario series

Coin blocks have appeared in nearly every Super Mario game, debuting in Super Mario Bros. For blocks that contain multiple coins, in most games, there is a time limit for how long it will continue to give the player coins instead of actually having a set number of coins. If the player strikes a coin block fast enough, they can get 8 coins, usually the most coins a player can get from a coin block; however, quite a few games make it possible to obtain more. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe's Challenge Mode has some Coin Blocks release Red Coins when struck fast enough. In New Super Mario Bros., striking a Coin Block enough times (at least 11) will produce a Super Mushroom. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii if the player hits a Coin Block enough times, five Coins will fly out before the Coin Block turns into a used block.

The ? Block-style Coin Blocks appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Both ? Block and Brick Block-style Coin Blocks are set to appear in Super Mario 3D Land. Also appearing are rectangular coin blocks that give Mario either two coins and an item or three coins in one hit; on rare occasion, Mario can hit one of the rectangular coin blocks multiple times, allowing Mario to get three times more coins then an average coin block would give him. Flying Coin Blocks, flying question blocks that give multiple coins, appear as well. Super Mario 3D Land also has coin blocks that give Mario five coins in one hit, and coin blocks that shoot coins onto the ground.

Super Mario 3D Land also features coin blocks that Mario can wear over his body, called Question Boxes. These allow Mario to collect infinite coins when walking while wearing it. Like the Propeller Box, the block is lost once the player finishes the level or is injured, but is rewarded with an extra life if brought to the Flagpole.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

Coin Blocks appear in Paper Mario, where they give Mario many coins if the block is hit fast enough.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Coin Blocks in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door have the same appearance as they do in Paper Mario.

Super Paper Mario

In Super Paper Mario, if Mario Flips into 3D, he can see an image of a coin on the side of a coin block.

Tattle

"That's a coin block. Every time you hit it, a coin will come out..."

Mario Party DS

In Mario Party DS, if any character lands on a Space with a Coin Block, a block will appear, and the character will have to hit the block to see how many coins can come out of it in five or ten seconds.

Trivia

  • In the 2006 version of Nintendo Monopoly, Coin Block spaces and cards replace the traditional Community Chest ones. In the 2010 version, Brick Blocks are used instead.
  • On the Wii Shop Channel, the loading screen for downloading any title is Mario or Luigi hitting Coin Blocks and collecting Coins, sometimes with a Fire Flower.
