Light-Up-Lifts, originally known as Light Blocks,[1][2] are block-like platforms in the Super Mario series that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They occur in underground caves and illuminate the surrounding area when a nearby ? Switch is struck. Light-Up-Lifts are similar to Glow Blocks, identical-looking items also introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii that the player character can carry with them.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Light Blocks are encountered in World 5-Ghost House only. They appear as moving nearly invisible blocks at first (which look similar to Empty Blocks from Super Mario World), but if Mario or any other character hits a nearby ? Switch, the blocks temporarily glow and keep moving. These blocks can be used for both lighting the way and means of transportation.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Light Blocks are objects in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. They appear in Light Blocks, Dark Tower and retain their function from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
In New Super Luigi U, Light-Up-Lifts appear only in Light-Up-Lift Tower, introducing their current name.
Minecraft[edit]
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Redstone Lamps are replaced by Light-Up-Lifts.
