A '''Super Guide Block''' is a special green [[! Block]] that first appears in the single-player modes of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and both releases of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It appears when the player has lost multiple lives consecutively in the same [[level]] and is playing alone. If [[Mario]] hits the block, the [[Super Guide]] mode is activated, [[Luigi]] appears, and the computer within the game controls him to clear the stage in place of the player.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the Super Guide Block appears when a player has lost a life eight times in a row on one level. If the player presses {{button|wii|1}} on {{button|wii|Wiimote}}, the player may choose to deactivate the [[Super Guide]] mode and take control of Luigi. However, if the level is beaten, it does not count as an actual win. Items collected do not count as well. If it appears at all, the save file's stars [[List of missable content|will no longer be shiny]].

In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the Super Guide Block appears when a player has lost a life eight times in a row on one level, with the block emitting a doorbell sound to alert the player of its presence. If the player presses {{button|wii|1}} on {{button|wii|Wiimote}}, the player can choose to deactivate the Super Guide mode and take control of Luigi. However, if the level is beaten, it does not count as an actual win. Items collected do not count as well. If it appears at all and the player saves the game afterward, the save file's stars [[Missable content|are no longer shiny]]. The Super Guide Block does not appear in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]].

The Super Guide Block returns in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', working as it did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, only five lives need to be lost, rather than eight. In addition, save file stars will lose their shine only if the player hits the block, but the stars' shine will return if the same course is cleared without using the block.

The Super Guide Block returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', working as it did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, only five lives need to be lost, rather than eight. In addition, save file stars will only lose their shine if the player hits the block.
This feature returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', acting identically to its appearance in the original [[Wii U]] game, though with a new sound effect. When the player controls Luigi in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', the block is colored red and summons a computer-controlled Mario in place of Luigi. In addition, after the player uses the Super Guide Block, the stars on their save file remain shiny.

==Trivia==
*When Luigi completes the Super Guide, he says, “Hmm, okay,” rather than his standard quote, “Phew. Made it.”
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', after using the Super Guide Block, the stars on the player's save file remain shiny instead of not being shiny.
