Variant ofNote Block

Music Blocks are objects that appear inSuper Mario Maker,Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, andSuper Mario Maker 2. They are derived fromNote Blocks and function identically, while also playing a short musical note when an object lands on it. Visually, they are pinkish instead of white and feature an eighth note (♪) on the sides. A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block inSuper Mario Maker andSuper Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, or by pressing and holding a Note Block and selecting the Music Block from the context menu, inSuper Mario Maker 2.

The pitch of the note that is played depends on the Music Block's height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards the top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation varies depending on what object lands on the Music Block. For example,Mario's sound is a steel drum, aSuper Mushroom's is a chiptunepulse wave, and aGoomba's is a piano. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that drop different objects onto Music Blocks to play customized music.

A total of 46 possible sounds can be produced from Music Blocks in the originalSuper Mario Maker including alternate forms of select objects.

An asterisk (*) signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.

  1. ^Achievable by dropping coins with aPOW Block, or if they are spawned from aWarp Pipe or aBill Blaster; can also be achieved if they have aparachute attached inSuper Mario Maker 2.
  2. ^abcReplaced by Mario's sound if he rides on a Shoe/Yoshi.
  3. ^Normally, a Yoshi's Egg hatches into a Yoshi as soon as it lands on a Music Block, but if it is spawned from a Bill Blaster, it remains in the Egg form until it lands on solid ground or collides with a wall.
  4. ^Achievable by inserting a Rocky Wrench into a Music Block and releasing it, or if it is spawned from a Bill Blaster; can also be achieved if it is dropped from aTwister or thrown bySMB2 Mario inSuper Mario Maker 2.

All sounds fromSuper Mario Maker return inSuper Mario Maker 2. Objects exclusive to theSuper Mario 3D World style also do not have sounds, as Music Blocks are absent in this game style. Finally, theSuper Leaf,Cape Feather,Propeller Mushroom,Power Balloon,Boo,Boo Buddies, andLava Bubble do not have sounds, despite the fact that they can land on a Music Block if they are attached to a parachute. A total of 25 new sounds are present, listed below:

An asterisk (*) signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.

  1. ^Achievable by dropping a 10-Coin/30-Coin/50-Coin with aPOW Block, or if they have aparachute attached.
  2. ^Replaced by the player's sound if they are in a Dry Bones Shell.
