Is it the official name for this item? Very little creative name IMO... ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png

I'm pretty sure that the name is official, but Nintendo hasn't released any info on it.--FREAK ~Game GameBros.png Freak~ OUT!

Mmmmmh... It would be better a reference for that name, because it sounds really conjectural. Shouldn't it be named Lakitu Block since a Lakitu comes from that? ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png

Well, I haven't reached that far in the game yet, but just add the conjectural template.--FREAK ~Game GameBros.png Freak~ OUT!

Merge[edit]

Shall we merge square cloud with Cloud Block? Given the internal and Japanese names, this is most likely a Jump Block-style update to the original block, with it transforming into a helpful Lakitu when hit a possible callback to the original design of Lakitu's Cloud itself being essentially a Cloud Block.

I would be OK with this. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:26, January 17, 2020 (EST)
One's a platform, the other's a block that spawns a Lakitu. I don't think merging these is a good idea. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:11, April 23, 2020 (EDT)
Me neither. Despite looking similar, let's just say that the similarities end there. Otherwise, they're just too different to even consider merging. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 13:18, April 23, 2020 (EDT)
Yeah, I don't think they have anything else related besides them both being a cloud with a face. -User:LewisCat28 18:27, June 2, 2021 (EDT)
Jump Blocks and Note Blocks are functionally the same thing, whereas Cloud Blocks and square clouds are not. The alleged callback is speculation. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 16:39, September 21, 2021 (EDT)
