Clockwork Blocks^[1] are a type of moving platform that debuted inNew Super Mario Bros. U. They appear as large metal-plated blocks with turning gears inside. Clockwork Blocks move left to right, typically following tracks marked by similar metal blocks with gears inside. When reaching the end of a track, they slow down before moving in the opposite direction. InNew Super Mario Bros. U, several appear inLudwig's Clockwork Castle, and inNew Super Luigi U, two large Clockwork Blocks appear inLudwig's Block-Press Castle.
