'''Music Blocks''' are objects that appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They function identically to [[Note Block]]s, the only difference being that, when an object falls on it, it will also play a short music note.

A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block. The pitch of the note that is placed depends on the height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation will also change depending on what falls onto it. Examples include [[Mario]]'s sound being a steel drum, a [[Super Mushroom]] playing a chiptune, and a piano playing when a [[Goomba]] lands on one. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that play customized music using different objects falling onto them.

Not to be confused with Note Block.

Template:Item-infobox Music Blocks are objects that appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. They function identically to Note Blocks, the only difference being that, when an object falls on it, it will also play a short music note.

A Music Block can be placed by shaking a Note Block. The pitch of the note that is placed depends on the height: for example, a Music Block placed one block above the bottom of the level will play a low note, while placing it towards top of the level will play a high note. In addition to playing different pitches of notes, the instrumentation will also change depending on what falls onto it. Examples include Mario's sound being a steel drum, a Super Mushroom's being a chiptune pulse wave, and Goomba's being a piano. Due to this functionality, users have created levels that play customized music using different objects falling onto them.

While most sounds from Super Mario Maker return in the sequel, a total of 8 new sounds were added into the game.

Objects exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World style do not have sounds, as Music Blocks are absent in this game style. The Super Leaf, Cape Feather, Propeller Mushroom, Rocky Wrench, Boo, Boo Buddies, and Lava Bubble also do not have sounds, despite the fact that they can fall onto a Music Block if a parachute is attached.

* signifies that the instrument is similar to that of another object, although the sound itself is distinguishable.
** signifies the instrument was changed from the original Super Mario Maker.
