The '''? Block''' (known as the '''Mystery Block''' in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'') is one of the many blocks found in the [[Mario]] universe. ? Blocks are commonly seen floating in midair, often containing [[Gold Coin]]s, [[Super Mushroom]]s, or [[Fire Flower]]s. In some games (for example ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', as well as several classic platformers) there are some invisible ? Blocks.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]], interestingly, the game shows platform physics about when the Mario Bros. are attempting to hit the ? Block but not just punching below the block. One example is when Mario or [[Luigi]] use the [[Tanooki Suit]], the Mario Bros. can use their tails to whack the ? Block. Another example is by using the [[Koopa Shell]], when Mario or Luigi kick the Koopa Shell to the ? Block; the ? Block will pop out containing a Coin or an item.

Interestingly, the ? Blocks of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' had eyes and seemed to be reanimations of that game's [[Turning Block]]s. They also gave Turning Block-like angry eyes when hit; interestingly, these expressions-when-hit are often seen even in non-eyed ? Blocks today, making the ? Block a possible relative of the Turning Block.
