This article is about the block that assists the player in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. For the blocks that assist the player in Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario 3D World, see Assist Block. For the green ! Block from Super Mario 64, see Metal Box.
A Super Guide Block from New Super Mario Bros. U.

A Super Guide Block is a special green ! Block that appears in the single player modes of New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. It will appear when the player has lost eight lives in New Super Mario Bros. Wii (five lives in New Super Mario Bros. U) consecutively in the same level. If Mario hits the block, the Super Guide mode will be activated, Luigi will appear and the computer within the game controls him to clear the stage in place of the player. If the player presses One Button on Wii Remote, the player may choose to deactivate the Super Guide mode and take control of Luigi. However, if the level is beaten, it won't count as an actual win. Items collected do not count as well.

Note that if a Super Guide block appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, stars on the save file will no longer be shiny. However, in New Super Mario Bros. U, stars on the save file will stay shiny so long as the Super Guide is not used.
