-The '''Square Cloud'''<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Prima Official Game Guide, page 87.</ref> is a [[block]] found exclusively in [[World 4 (NSMBWii)#World 4-5|World 4-5]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is white and has a smile on its front, making it look similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]]. When activated, a [[Lakitu]] will appear and start to toss [[coin]]s on the floor, which [[Mario]] and the crew can then collect. However, there are also other Lakitus that throw [[Spiny|Spinies]] present in the level, which the player can easily mistake for the coin-throwing Lakitu. Just like any other Lakitu, however, the players can get injured if they touch the Lakitu throwing the coins. The player can defeat these Lakitus for points and ride their clouds. They can also be eaten by [[Yoshi]]. These Lakitus stay on-screen temporarily, unlike the regular ones, which only go off-screen when Mario reaches a specific area.

+A '''square cloud''',<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 87.</ref> also known as a '''Cloud Block''',<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' internal filename (<tt>block_cloud</tt>)</ref> is a [[block]] found exclusively in [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-5]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is white and has a smiling face on its front, making it look similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]]. When hit, a square cloud turns into a [[Lakitu]] that throws [[coin]]s. 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.
+Like standard Lakitus, Lakitus spawned from square clouds can damage the player characters on contact. Players can eat these Lakitus with [[Yoshi]], gain [[point]]s by defeating them, and ride their clouds as usual. Unlike the standard ones, Lakitus spawned from square clouds stay onscreen only temporarily and do not respawn.

-*The way the Lakitu throws coins is reminiscent to ''[[Super Mario World]]'' when a cloud appears and drops coins with smiley faces on them after Yoshi has eaten two pink [[Berry|Berries]].
