The title of this article is from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia which reportedly sourced some names from fan wikis. If a higher-priority source is found, then the current reference should be removed and the title moved to the higher-priority name, if applicable.
- Not to be confused with Block Boo.

A Ghost Block[1] is an object introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Only four of tese possessed ? Block appear in the secret area in World 7-
Ghost House, guarding a Star Coin. They resemble normal ? Blocks at first, but they turn purple when approached and float over the player character before throwing themselves at them, similarly to Ghost Vases. A Ghost Block breaks apart and releases a coin if it hits the floor or a platform. Ghost Blocks can be distinguished from real ? Blocks by looking at the question marks; unlike on the real ? Blocks, the question marks do not move, similar to those of Blockhoppers from New Super Mario Bros.
Ghost Blocks also appear in New Super Mario Bros. U in Haunted Shipwreck and Spinning Spirit House and in New Super Luigi U in Vanishing Ghost House. These roles are reprised in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
Conceptually, Ghost Blocks are much like Fake Blocks, while their method of attack is also very similar to that of the Invisighoul of Yoshi's Island DS throwing furniture—remaining still until approached, then swaying in the air and being thrown directly at the player. A laughing Boo also implies it was thrown by one, as the furniture was by Invisighouls.
