Clockwork Blocks[1] are a type of moving platform that debuted in New 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. In New Super Mario Bros. U, several appear in Ludwig's Clockwork Castle, and in New Super Luigi U , two large Clockwork Blocks appear in Ludwig's Block-Press Castle.
