'''Boost Blocks''' are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. These [[block]]s can be used only in multiplayer mode, and to use one, a player must tap the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] screen. Boost Blocks are intended to serve as platforms to help [[Mario]] and company progress in a [[level]]. There are other uses for Boost Blocks, such as placing them above characters' heads to prevent falling objects such as [[Thwomp]]s from harming them and stopping enemies from exiting a pipe. A Boost Block can even block the [[Mecha Hand]] in [[Boarding the Airship]] ([[Bowser Jr. Showdown]] in ''New Super Luigi U''). If a player steps on a Boost Block while a symbol is shown, the block releases three [[coin]]s while filling the [[Boost Star]] meter, though if a player steps on a block without a symbol on it, the Boost Star meter disappears, no matter how full the meter was before disappearing. If a player steps on 10 Boost Blocks with a symbol shown in a row, a Boost Star appears, and the player using the GamePad can tap it to gain Boost Star power. Boost Blocks cannot be used in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.

Boost Blocks also appear in the mode [[Coin Battle]], where they are used as platforms for the winning players in a cutscene. This variant features a star icon, and the color is determined by the playable character's color:

If a player gets 99 lives, the Boost Blocks are shrunk into small square '''Mini-Boost Blocks''', making them more difficult to land on. However, the Boost Star meter becomes easier to fill because the playing-card symbols do not disappear while Mini-Boost Blocks are onscreen.
