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 will appear when the player has lost multiple lives consecutively in the same level. If [[Mario]] hits the block, the [[Super Guide]] mode will be activated, [[Luigi]] will appear, 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 and the player saves the game, the save file's stars [[List of missable content|cannot be shiny]].

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, which will return if the same course is cleared without using the block.

This feature returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', acting identically to its appearance in the original Wii U game. However, when playing as 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 using the Super Guide Block, the stars on the player's save file remain shiny.

==Trivia==

*When Luigi or Mario complete the Super Guide, they say, "Hmm, okay," rather than their standard quotes, "Phew. Made it," and "Oh yeah. Mario time."
