A ? Block (alternatively Question Mark Block),[1] also called a Question Block,[2] a Mystery Block,[3] a Prize Block,[4] a brown Question Mark Box,[5][6] or simply a ?,[7] is a type of block introduced in Super Mario Bros. They are placed in midair and usually contain coins or a power-up item. Some ? Blocks are invisible. When every item has been released from a ? Block, it becomes an Empty Block.
HistoryEdit
Super Mario seriesEdit
Super Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros.: The Lost LevelsEdit
? Blocks are blocks appearing throughout the levels of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, beginning with World 1-1 of the respective games. Besides having either a coin or power-up item, a few ? Blocks release a beanstalk leading to a Bonus Stage, and some in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels have the hazardous Poison Mushroom.
The instruction booklet of Super Mario Bros. states that Bowser, using the Turtle Tribe's famous dark magic, had cursed the Mushroom Kingdom, turning the Mushroom People into a variety of objects, including bricks. Princess Toadstool, being the only person who could reverse the spell on her people, was kidnapped by Bowser.[8] Later, it is mentioned that Mario can receive a Magic Mushroom, Fire Flower, or Starman from these cursed bricks.[9] This would appear to be the origin of the ? Blocks since the English version also uses the term "brick" to refer to blocks in general,[10] although the Japanese version properly uses the term "block."[11]
Super Mario Bros. 3Edit
? Blocks, also named Item Blocks[12] or Power-Up blocks,[13] are objects in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are also titled differently depending on what is spawned from them Mushroom Blocks contain a Super Mushroom; 1-Up Blocks contain a 1-Up Mushroom; and Vine Blocks contain a Vine.[14] Their animation was changed from flashing between colors to its question mark scrolling horizontally. If either a Super or 1-Up Mushroom emerges from a ? Block hit on the right side, it travels left instead.[citation needed] The game adds a large variety, Mega ? Blocks, with their contents similarly depending on the area.
Super Mario LandEdit
Mystery Blocks, also named Item Blocks,[15] work the same as in Super Mario Land.
Super Mario WorldEdit
? Blocks retain their role once more in Super Mario World, though they were given the winged Flying ? Block variety. There is also red ? Block in Bowser's Castle that activates a spotlight.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden CoinsEdit
? Blocks return in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, working the same as before.
Super Mario 64 DSEdit
- Main article: Cap Block
Super Mario 64 DS replaces the three ! Blocks from Super Mario 64 into red ? Blocks that are activated from a ? Switch in a secret course.
New Super Mario Bros.Edit
? Blocks mostly retain their function in New Super Mario Bros. once more, except Ghost Houses have ? Blocks that produce Boos, and a ? Block can be ground pounded to release the item from the bottom. The ? Block color depends on the environment, which would also be the case in the two following titles. The game adds the variety Spiked ? Blocks with harmful spikes on side. Flying ? Blocks were given a Red Flying ? Block variety, which contain a higher tier powerup.
Super Mario GalaxyEdit
Some of the ? Blocks in Super Mario Galaxy contain Star Bits, releasing them individually when hit in the manner of a Coin Block. ? Blocks have a flashing animation similar to Super Mario Bros. They are now depicted with nails in the sides.
New Super Mario Bros. WiiEdit
? Blocks return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, being mostly the same as in New Super Mario Bros., but some sway back and forth. Certain levels have a Toad stuck in a ? Block, and Mario can access a Toad House if he returns the Toad safely, with the type depending on when the level was completed. There is a haunted version that moves at nearby players.
Super Mario Galaxy 2Edit
? Blocks reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well as Flying ? Blocks. ? Blocks with Star Bits now release all of them at once, no longer being one after the other.
Super Mario 3D LandEdit
The ? Blocks of Super Mario 3D Land work similarly as in the sidescrolling games. The game adds the Long ? Block variety, which can contain either three coins or two coins and a power-up item. There is the wearable ? Box, which produce coins as Mario runs around. Spiked ? Blocks are among the segments of the Blokkablok enemies, though they break when hit.
New Super Mario Bros. 2Edit
The ? Blocks and Long ? Blocks return in New Super Mario Bros. 2, with Reznors standing on the latter during their battle.
New Super Mario Bros. UEdit
? Blocks return with their Mega ? Block and Ghost Block varieties in New Super Mario Bros. U, working like they do usually. Mega ? Blocks and Ghost Blocks also reappear.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's FuryEdit
? Blocks and Long ? Blocks both return in Super Mario 3D World and its port, functioning like they do in Super Mario 3D Land, though ? Blocks with power-ups in multiplayer mode release them with each individual hit, and some ? Blocks release an 8-bit sprite of Luigi. Coin Boxes also return as a power-up.
Super Mario Maker subseriesEdit
? Blocks are placeable objects in Super Mario Maker, its port, and Super Mario Maker 2, and their contents can be not only power-ups but also Vines, Yoshi's Eggs, enemies, Trampolines, P Switches, and Goomba's Shoes.
Super Mario RunEdit
? Blocks serve the same function in Super Mario Run as in previous games. However, when they are hit and produce anything other than a singular coin (including multiple coins at once), the contents of the ? Block are thrown forward. The faster the player is moving, the faster and farther the items will go. Sometimes Color coins can be found in ? Blocks. Some ? Blocks flash in rainbow colors, this indicates a block that contains something more impactful than just a single coin.
In Airship Plunder and certain Secret Courses, ? Blocks are linked to crates. When enough crates are broken, the ? Block starts giving off yellow sparkles, and hitting such a block will dispense a Super Star instead of any other item(s). Breaking a crate in such an instance causes a red number to appear, much like with Red Coins. This number shows the number of crates that must be broken to cause the change, and 0 is represented by a star icon.
In the Toad Rally mode, during a Coin Rush, or in Remix 10 while the player is invincible, all ? Blocks are flashing. When these are hit, their contents are modified compared to how they are outside of either state. If it contained any number of coins, then the ? Block will produce a large number of coins. If it contained any power-up, then it will produce three power-ups. The trajectories of the power-ups are slightly modified so they land next to each other but do not overlap.
A special type of ? Block also appears in the Bonus Game that follows each run of Remix 10, which grants the player a random building or decoration that can be used in Kingdom Builder. Much of the time, this ? Block does not release an item when hit. Instead it releases a coin, grows larger and allows the the player to hit it again. The rarity of the reward the player receives from the ? Block is determined by how many times they are given the chance to hit it before it releases an item, which is random. If the player hits the ? Block once and it becomes empty, they receive a 1★ reward. Two hits results in a 2★ reward, and so on. The maximum number of hits the ? Block can take is five, in which case the player receives a 5★ reward, the highest possible star rating for the Bonus Game. If the ? Block emanates sparkles, then the player is guaranteed to be able to hit it at least three times and so receive at minimum a 3★ reward.
The list below are the 1★ and 2★ rewards obtained from a ? Block. The rewards that are 3★ or higher are shown here.
| 1★ | 2★ |
|---|---|
|
|
A Super Bonus Game holding a Bonus ? Block, however, also appears, which not only guarantees a reward of 3★ rarity or higher, but also has a possibility of yielding a rare 6★ reward.
Super Mario OdysseyEdit
Either Mario or Cappy can hit ? Blocks in Super Mario Odyssey for either coins, Hearts, or Life-Up Hearts. While Metro Kingdom has crosswalk signs with a question mark, they still work like ? Blocks, but hitting them no longer displays the question mark.
Super Mario Bros. WonderEdit
? Blocks and their long variants return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Some are below ceilings and always release their contents downward when hit. Certain ? Blocks rocket upward instead of release an item, but launch downward if ground-pounded; either way, they can collect coins, defeat enemies, or hit other ? Blocks. During one of the Wonder Effects, some of the ? Blocks become purple and release only flower coins.
Wario Land seriesEdit
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3Edit
? Blocks, known here as Face Blocks,[16] depict a cheerful expression at first in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, changing to grumpy upon being activated. Besides hitting a ? Block from below, Wario can also activate it using with either Dragon Wario's flames's flames or by performing a Body Slam on the side of a ? Block. Depending on its contents, a ? Block can have either a 1 Gold Coin, heart, or Power Up Pot.
Virtual Boy Wario LandEdit
? Blocks work the same in Virtual Boy Wario Land as before, except unused ones have their usual design.
Donkey Kong (Game Boy)Edit
? Blocks are seen during the ending of the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong.
Mario Kart seriesEdit
In the Mario Kart series, as of Mario Kart 64, similar item blocks, called Item Boxes are found on every track, replacing the ? Panels of Super Mario Kart. They are usually semi-transparent and reappear when they get hit. While most of them are set on the ground, some float in midair, like ? Blocks.
A shop at Coconut Mall in Mario Kart Wii is shown to have ? Blocks as part of their inventory.
In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, on the track Cloudtop Cruise, after a gliding section, drivers land on a giant stone ? Block which has a beanstalk growing out of the side of it. They, along with the Brick Blocks, also return in Wii Grumble Volcano once more and also appear in SNES Donut Plains 3. ? Block engravings also appear on the vehicles Tri-Speeder, Flame Rider, and Standard Bike, with a ? Block sticker on the Inkstriker (unless used by an Inkling). N64 Rainbow Road has an Eiffel Tower-like structure with four ? Blocks, and GBA Ribbon Road has ? Blocks serving as the boxes for the Koopa Clown Car jack-in-the-boxes.
In Mario Kart Tour, a row of two ? Blocks and three Empty Blocks appears in 3DS Mario Circuit T above the main track right before the finish line. It can be driven on after a glide and holds three coins on top. The same row of blocks also appears in many Goomba Takedown bonus challenges carrying Goomba Towers. ? Blocks and Empty Blocks also appear in large amounts in RMX Mario Circuit 1, where they appear as platforms, and like in 3DS Mario Circuit T, driving off them allows the player to perform a Jump Boost. A ? Block surrounded by two Brick Blocks is seen on the ? Block glider. The ? Block Mii Racing Suit resembles a ? Block, with a ? Block serving as the helmet and the suit being decorated with question marks that have the same shape as those on ? Blocks.
Yoshi's StoryEdit
? Blocks are depicted brown in Yoshi's Story and work differently. They a different type of coin, but can also activate either the Melon Race or Broad Jump. The game has some similar objects including a ? Bubble, activated by an egg, and a Mystery Crate, activated by a ground-pound.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven StarsEdit
? Blocks are replaced by the functionally similar treasure boxes, also showing a question mark, in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Mario Party seriesEdit
? Blocks appear in some minigames in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party, ? Blocks appear in Coin Block Blitz, each containing one to twelve Coins, and when a ? Block disappears, it means it has been depleted. In Mario Party 7, ? Blocks appear in the background of StratosFEAR!, and are styled after the ones from the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. In Super Mario Party, nasal tissue dispensers shaped like a ? Block appear in the background of Sizzling Stakes, and the object of Strike It Rich is is jump to ? Blocks in rhythm.
? Blocks also appear in some boards in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party: Star Rush, and Mario Party: The Top 100, ? Blocks appear as a board space in Party mode, Toad Scramble mode and Minigame Match mode, respectively. Landing on one of these spaces gives the player a random item. In Mario Party 10, ? Blocks appear in the Normal Board and Mario Board in amiibo party, containing coins or other items.
In the Bowser Kaboom Squad mode of Super Mario Party Jamboree, a Toad delivers items in a ? Block in-between rounds.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door gives ? Blocks (spelled ? blocks in the original version) the same function as in Paper Mario.
The ? Blocks in Super Paper Mario are sometimes on the ground. Some contain Zombie Shrooms or Ghoul Shrooms. During Chapter 2-3, there is a ? Block on the second floor where the player can get a Mushroom for 10 Rubees whenever they desire, later free of charge after they clear the chapter.
? Blocks are also in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Some ? Blocks are guarded by a Piranha Plant below. ? Blocks have their sides peeled off when hit. Kersti has the Paperize ability that creates ? Blocks from small stickers, usually producing an upgraded or different sticker.
Paper Mario: Color Splash has ? Blocks return, this time with a flip-open top and a side-scrolling "?" mark (as in Super Mario Bros. 3). They often give Battle Cards or coins, the former getting stronger in later levels or being more relevant to a level's boss fight, if any. Additionally, a new kind of block, the Unfurl Block, looks similar, except it's red and has a "!?" symbol on it instead. Mega ? Blocks also return in Mondo Woods, having been enlarged by Kamek.
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, ? Blocks look similar to their appearance in Color Splash, albeit the flip-open top has been replaced by a lid that floats for a brief moment when being hit, except for the ones at Origami Castle which boast a shinier appearance and often need to be pulled into shape first to be opened. Once opened a block will not revert to its previous state, much like in the first two games. Additionally, the ? Block Head Trophy is earned for hitting all ? Blocks in every location in the game.
Super Smash Bros. seriesEdit
- SmashWiki article: Block § ? Blocks
? Blocks make an appearance as objects in most Super Smash Bros. games. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, ? Blocks appeared on the Mushroom Kingdom stage, which break and release items if hit or simply jumped into from below. They also appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom stage (where they look more realistic and withered, with cracks and a metal border), as well as in 3D Land (where they can give Super Leaves more often) in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and possibly in Super Mario Maker (where they can give Super Mario items more often) in both 3DS and Wii U versions with the same purpose, though they turn into Empty Blocks after Melee.

Besides ? Blocks, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story also adds Broque Monsieur, Broggy, and Broque Madame, all of whom are Brocks, a species made up of a ? Block.
Two Shelltops in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team mention that they dug up two ? Blocks at Dozing Sands.[21] Some ? Blocks in the Dream World are either sideways or upside down, but it is only possible to activate them from below. They have a villainous variety named Dark Blocks, found in Dream's Deep during the second visit.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership still features ? Blocks, acting as they do in the previous games. Near the end of the game, a fake variant with a backwards question mark icon also appears in the illusory Mushroom Kingdom that Mario and Luigi are trapped in while progressing through the Soli-Tree. Hitting this block will cause it to fall, tumble and open itself to reveal Reclusa. Hitting these fake ? Blocks many a time is required to attempt catching him in the act and progress through this section.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. EditionEdit
? Blocks appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. The player may come across one in a course, which can hold coins, 1-Up Mushrooms, Transformation Items, or Skill Items. Opening them requires the player to clear a certain amount of Orbs, make a certain amount of combos, and/or to arrange Orbs horizontally or vertically - the more objectives there are, the greater the rewards, with coins often being rewarded for the easiest challenges. ?

Later in the film, the Training Course is constructed from a giant Question Block that emerges from water, while normal Question Blocks are scattered throughout the course itself. Question Blocks also appear in the Great Ring of Kong, where Mario hits one and transforms into Cat Mario, causing Donkey Kong to laugh and exclaim that he got "the cat box". Additionally, upon the film's release, exclusive popcorn tins designed to resemble the Question Block's look in the movie were available to be purchased at participating theaters.
Other appearancesEdit
? Blocks are furniture items throughout the Animal Crossing series.
