Light-Up-Lifts, originally known asLight Blocks,[1] areblock-like platforms in theSuper Mario series that debuted inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii.

History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
InNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, Light Blocks are encountered inWorld 5-
Ghost House only, in a pathway to thesecret exit. They appear as moving nearly invisible blocks at first (which look similar toEmpty Blocks fromSuper Mario World), but ifMario or any other character hits a nearby ? Switch, the blocks temporarily glow and keep moving. These blocks can be used for both lighting the way and means of transportation.
New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Light Blocks are objects inNew Super Mario Bros. U andNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, where they appear inLight Blocks, Dark Tower. While the Light Blocks in the second half of the course function as they do inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Light Blocks in the first half of the course do not require a ? Switch to be activated. Instead, the blocks alternate between glowing state and near-invisible state automatically.
InNew Super Luigi U, Light-Up-Lifts appear only inLight-Up-Lift Tower, introducing their current name. In this course, Light-Up-Lifts light up indefinitely when players move into the blocks' vicinity, and the course starts with a pair of always-active Light-Up-Lifts that move up towards the top when playersjump on them, with more Light-Up-Lifts joining in along the way to create a large platform of Light-Up-Lifts.
Minecraft[edit]
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack inMinecraft, Redstone Lamps are replaced by Light-Up-Lifts.
