Rotating Blocks are objects in ''Super Mario World''. They replace [[Brick Block|brick]]s from previous entries of the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series and share most of their attributes with them. Normal Rotating Blocks spin around for a short time when hit from beneath or attacked as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] (or Caped [[Luigi]]), but some act as [[? Block|Prize Blocks]] and reveal an item. [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] can destroy normal Rotating Blocks with a [[Spin Jump]] from above. [[Chargin' Chuck]]s can also destroy Rotating Blocks by charging into them. | Rotating Blocks are objects in ''Super Mario World''.

Enemies such as green [[Unshelled Koopa]]s, [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s, and [[Cheep Cheeps]] may hide in Rotating Blocks, and break out to attack Mario once he approaches them. These Rotating Blocks have the sheen on the opposite side, making them distinguishable from safe Rotating Blocks from afar. Only a maximum of four Rotating Blocks may be spinning at any given moment. | ||
