| A '''Ghost Block'''<ref>{{cite|publisher=Dark Horse Books|title=''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia: The Official Guide to the First 30 Years''|page=150 and 215|date=October 23, 2018|language=en|isbn=978-1-50670-897-3}}</ref> is an obstacle introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Only four of these possessed [[? Block]] appear in the secret area in {{world link|7|ghost|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, guarding a [[Star Coin]]. They resemble normal ? Blocks at first, but they turn purple when approached and float over the player character before throwing themselves at them, similarly to [[Ghost Vase]]s. A Ghost Block breaks apart and releases a [[coin]] if it hits the floor or a platform. Ghost Blocks can be distinguished from real ? Blocks by looking at the question marks; unlike on the real ? Blocks, the question marks do not move, similar to those of [[Blockhopper]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' | | A '''Ghost Block''' is a very rare, possessed [[? Block]] that appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Only 4 of them appear in the secret area in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7 Ghost House]]. They guard a [[Star Coin]]. They resemble a normal ? Block, but as Mario approaches, they turn purple as they float over the character and throw themselves at him (a very similar mechanism is used by a [[Ghost Vase]]), breaking apart and releasing a [[coin]] if they hit the floor or a platform. |
| | |
| Ghost Blocks also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in [[Haunted Shipwreck]] and [[Spinning Spirit House]] and in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in [[Vanishing Ghost House]]. These roles are reprised in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.
| |
| | |
| Conceptually, Ghost Blocks are much like [[Fake Block]]s, while their method of attack is also very similar to that of the [[Invisighoul]] of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' throwing furniture—remaining still until approached, then swaying in the air and being thrown directly at the player. A laughing [[Boo]] also implies it was thrown by one, as the furniture was by Invisighouls.
