A '''Glow Block''',<ref>[[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii trading cards|''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' trading card]] #49</ref> also called a '''Light Block''',<ref>{{cite|quote=Grab a Light Block and carry it to the door|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=104|date=November 15, 2009|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4}}</ref> is an object in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Glow Blocks are white [[block]]s with eyes similar to those on [[Rotating Block]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. These blocks emit light that [[Mario]] and the other characters can use to illuminate [[dark]] areas. The characters must carry them in order to explore different areas with the help of the blocks' light. To pick up a Glow Block, the player must shake {{button|wii|Wiimote}} and press and hold {{button|wii|1}} at the same time. A Glow Block can also be used as a projectile, by throwing it to the enemies, in a similar fashion to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''{{'}}s physics. If a player character is on [[Yoshi]], the latter can eat a Glow Block and carry it with him that way. Glow Blocks appear in [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-5]], {{world link|5|ghosthouse|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, [[World 6-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-6]], and [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]].

Glow Blocks also appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in the minigame [[Murky Maze]].

*'''Trading Card description:''' ''"Don't get caught in the dark without a Glow Block! These white boxes are found on the ground in dark areas, like caves and haunted spots. This illuminating item will help guide you when visibility is low. Just remember that you can't use other weapons, like fire or ice balls, while holding a Glow Block."''
