Rhythm Blocks[1] are blocks found in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They take the form of rainbow-colored platforms that are synchronized with the tempo of the background music.

These blocks only materialize after a Wonder Flower is obtained, triggering a specific Wonder Effect. They appear in a strict sequential order, starting with purple and following the rainbow spectrum. As a new set of blocks materializes on the beat, the previous set simultaneously dematerializes. This creates a frantic platforming challenge where the player must move rhythmically to avoid falling into a pit.

When inactive, Rhythm Blocks resemble semi-transparent Dotted-Line Blocks. They only become solid and brightly colored while the music plays during the Wonder Effect, and they disappear once the effect concludes.

The levels where these blocks exclusively appear are:
