The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
Google introduced the Super Mario Bros. Easter egg in September 2015 for the game’s 30th anniversary. Related searches displayed a Question Mark Block in the Knowledge Panel, based on the blocks Mario hits in the game.
What It Did
Clicking the Question Mark Block makes it bounce, releases a coin, and displays points above it while the coin sound plays.
Repeated clicks eventually trigger the 1-UP sound, which signals an extra life in the original game.
Impact and Reach
The block, coin sound, and 1-UP cue reproduce familiar feedback from Super Mario Bros. The anniversary effect concentrates those references into a single clickable object.
Its Discontinuation
The official Question Mark Block is still available on Google Search. It became harder to trigger around 2021–2022, then returned to normal availability in 2023. Whether it appears can still vary by search, device, and Google’s rollout, so this page provides a fixed place to find it.
The Restored Experience
What’s Different Here
Here, you can go straight to the Question Mark Block without finding a Google search that displays it. Tap for the coin animation and points, then keep going for the 1-UP chime.
The Easter Egg Experience
Click the button above to open the restored search results page, then look for the Question Mark Block next to the results. Tap it once, and the block hops, a coin pops out, and the score appears above it. Keep tapping, and each tap brings another coin, until you finally hear the 1-UP sound.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to open the restored search results page.
- Find the Question Mark Block next to the Super Mario Bros. result.
- Tap the block to hear the coin sound, see the block bounce, and watch the score pop up.
- Keep tapping if you want to hear the bonus 1-UP sound.
- Continue tapping to repeat the coin animation.
The block keeps working after the 1-UP chime, so you can carry on collecting coins. The points above it are a brief animation, not a running score.
Final Thoughts
That familiar coin sound is only a tap away. Keep tapping to hear the 1-UP chime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Google Super Mario Bros. Easter egg?
It’s a small Super Mario Bros. Easter egg that Google launched in 2015 for the game’s 30th anniversary. It is a single Question Mark Block that shows up in the search results.
Tap the block and it bounces, releases a coin, and briefly displays points above it with the familiar coin sound.
There is also a hidden reward: if you keep tapping, you’ll eventually hear the 1-UP sound.
Is the official Google Super Mario Bros. Easter egg still available?
Yes. The official Question Mark Block Easter egg is still available on Google Search.
This page keeps the same block in one place, so you can play with it here anytime, whether or not Google Search shows it to you today.
Is this version different from the official one?
This version preserves the block animation, coin sound, points, and 1-UP cue. It provides a fixed entry point without depending on which Google searches display the official effect.
