-An '''{{wp|Obake}} Burokku''' (おばけブロック<ref>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' section, page 149.</ref><ref>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' section, page 215.</ref>, ''Obake Burokku'') is a very rare, possessed [[? Block]] that appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Only four of them appear in the secret area in {{world-link|7|ghost|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. They guard a [[Star Coin]]. They resemble a normal ? Block, but as the player approaches, they turn purple as they float over the character and throw themselves at the player (a very similar mechanism is used by an [[Obake Sutando]]), breaking apart and releasing a [[coin]] if they hit the floor or a platform.
+A '''Ghost Block'''<ref>Dark Horse Books. ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia: The Official Guide to the First 30 Years''. Pages 150 and 215.</ref> is a very rare, possessed [[? Block]] that appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Only four of them appear in the secret area in {{world-link|7|ghost|World 7-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, guarding a [[Star Coin]]. They resemble normal ? Blocks, but as the player approaches, they turn purple as they float over the character and throw themselves at the player (a very similar mechanism is used by a [[Ghost Vase]]), breaking apart and releasing a [[coin]] if they hit the floor or a platform. They 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 [[Blockhopper]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
-Obake Burokku also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' in multiple haunted levels.
+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 Block]]s, 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.
