The Super Guide is not available in World 9, even if the player dies eight times in a level. When the player takes over, they will play as Luigi rather than Mario, but losing a life will result in Mario being controlled again. If the player ever sees the Super Guide Block, the stars on the save file will permanently lose their shine, even when not used. The level will still count as beaten even when the Super Guide assistance is used however, the level pad on the world map will be red instead of blue a player would need to beat the level themselves for the level pad to turn blue. Once the player has taken control again, they cannot turn Super Guide back on for the remainder of the level. While the Super Guide is running, the player can press the on the at any time to take control again the game will start exactly where the Super Guide left off. The Super Guide only shows the player how to beat the level, but does not use shortcuts or reveal secrets, nor does it collect any Star Coins. When the player hits this block, the level restarts in auto-pilot mode: a computer-controlled Luigi will play the level on his own.

When a player has failed to pass a level at least eight times, a Super Guide Block appears at the start of the level. In this game, the Super Guide provides players stuck on a level assistance to clear levels. Super Guide first appears in New Super Mario Bros. Luigi in Super Guide mode in World 6-3 of New Super Mario Bros.
