Yes but I felt so terrible shattering the remains of Toads with my jumping fist. I don't even know if they're dead or alive. I figure the ones bearing powerups were either still alive and gave the last of their power to Mario or the Koopas just didn't take the spoils. The ones with coins had their wallets at the time of death.

Best: Superstar Saga. Pretty cool-looking white-on-black-on-yellow. Cool variations, and then that block exhibit in Hoohoo Hooniversity. Cool stuff there.

Worst: Super Mario Land. It's no one's fault except for the Game Boy's, but they're awfully boring.

BEST: I can't believe I'm saying this, but in SMS there was nice variety in the types of blocks, which was one aspect of the game I enjoyed.  However, if "?" blocks are the main consideration, I would say NSMB.

WORST: I didn't think about Super Mario Land before reading Bird Person's post, because I haven't played it in years, but it gets my vote for lack of a worse option.

BEST -  Super Mario World

WORST - Super Mario land

[Sqrt2]

Best - Super Mario Bros. 3 (SMAS version)

Worst - Super Mario Land 3 ~ Wario Land.

Nominate - Best 3D game

Best: M&L: SS. One of the few diversions from the original yellow and brown scheme.

Worst: NSMB. Super Mario Land's are forgivable, considering what there was to work with (3 colors, 8x8)

[Weegee]

I'd have to say that Super Mario World's "?" blocks are some of the series' most aesthetically pleasant, and the game's signature yellow blocks with eyes are nifty as well.

As for the worst, Super Mario Land is pretty much the bottom of the barrel for block design. And everything else. Would a SMB-esque flashing effect be too much to ask?

[Sapphira]

Best: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It has the best variety of blocks that are also aesthetically pleasing, I think. I also like how SMRPG's "? Blocks" are treasure chests, but they didn't have a lot of other blocks and all of PiT's are cooler.

Worst: Super Mario Land for obvious reasons.

What's wrong with NSMB's?
