A square cloud,[1] also known as a Cloud Block,[2] is an object in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is a white block with a smiling face on its front, making it resemble a Lakitu's Cloud. Square clouds appear exclusively in World 4-5 only. When hit, a square cloud turns into a Lakitu that throws coins. However, the level also features Spiny Egg-throwing Lakitus that players can easily mistake for the coin-throwing Lakitus, as the two types are not visually differentiated. The only difference that Lakitus from square clouds have from other types is that they stay onscreen only temporarily and do not respawn.
The way the Lakitu throws coins is reminiscent to Super Mario World when a Yoshi Cloud appears and drops Bonus Coins after Yoshi has eaten two Pink Berries. The block looks similar to the Yoshi's Island depiction of the Message Block.
