Editing Boost Block

'''Boost Block''' is a playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Boost Block can be used only in multiplayer mode, and to use him, a player must tap the Wii U GamePad screen. Boost Block is intended to serve as platforms to help Mario and co. reach the end of the level easily. There are other uses for Boost Block, such as placing him above character's heads to prevent falling objects like [[Thwomp]]s to harm them. If a player steps on Boost Block while a symbol is shown, he releases three coins while filling the Boost Star meter, though if a player steps on him without a symbol on it, the Boost Star meter will disappear, no matter how full the meter was before disappearing. If a player steps on Boost Block 10 times with a symbol shown in a row, a [[Boost Star]] will appear, and the player using the GamePad can tap it to gain Boost Star power.

If a player gets 99 lives, Boost Block turns into mini versions of himself, making him more difficult to land on. However, it does make it slightly easier to fill the Boost Star meter because the playing-card symbols don't disappear when Boost Block is small.
