Nine Question Blocks, and they’re all filled with coins. Run underneath them, jump, and smash into them to release coins. The coins you release from the block are automatically collected and added to your total. When the timer runs out or the blocks are all cleared out, you get to keep whatever you collected. But! For every two coins you collected, you take a single coin back to the board.
It’s one coin per hit, and each block can have anywhere from one to 12 coins inside. You can jump on and stun other players, but you can attack them with punches in this one!

Strategies
You know, these in-game minigame descriptions don’t always tell you everything you need to know. Look over our strategies section for lesser-known tips and secrets, especially those shared by the community!
- While hard to get and maintain, try to stay stuck between a player and ? Block, you’ll hit the block at an incredible rate in this situation.
Thanks, Spongyoshi!
- Don’t be fooled about the number of coins you actually collected. Every two coins you collect equals one in coin in your take-home total. If you get an odd number, it’ll round down. Think actual_coin_gain = floor(coin_collected_game / 2).
Thanks, Dark Boo!
