History[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Super Guide Block appears when a player has lost a life eight times in a row on one level, with the block emitting a doorbell sound to alert the player of its presence. If the player presses 
on 
, the player can choose to deactivate the Super Guide mode and take control of Luigi. However, if the level is beaten, it does not count as an actual win. Items collected do not count as well. If it appears at all and the player saves the game afterward, the save file's stars are no longer shiny.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
The Super Guide Block returns in New Super Mario Bros. U, working as it did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, only five lives need to be lost, rather than eight. In addition, save file stars will lose their shine only if the player hits the block, but the stars' shine will return if the same course is cleared without using the block.
This feature returns in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, acting identically to its appearance in the original Wii U game, though with a new sound effect. When the player controls Luigi in New Super Mario Bros. U, the block is colored red and summons a computer-controlled Mario in place of Luigi. In addition, after the player uses the Super Guide Block, the stars on the player's save file remain shiny.
