Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They slowly descend when stood on, similar to [[Donut Block]]s and [[Flimsy Lift]]s. Floating platforms appear only in [[castle]] courses where the player character fights [[Bowser]] or [[Dry Bowser]], above pools of [[lava]]. The platforms closely resemble the body segments of [[Spine Coaster]]s, as well as the lifts that collapse when struck by [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[The Final Battle]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

This platform is one of several lifts referred to as a "Bone Lift" in Japanese, with others including the [[Bone Lift]] from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and the [[segmented platform]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', slow moving platforms of varied length appear in {{world-link|8|bowser|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. When the player character lands on a slow falling platform, it shakes for a few moments and before slowly descends into the lava below. Slow falling platforms are the primary platforms of the lava-draining room before the [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
Floating platforms are restricted to the fight against [[Giant Bowser|Super Bowser]] in {{world-link|6|bowsern2|World 6-Bowser's Castle}}, where they are the only accessible footing for most of the battle. They slowly rise from the lava at the bottom of the screen and must be used by the player character to avoid losing a life. However, standing on a floating platform for too long causes it to fall, as was the case in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Giant Bowser destroys floating platforms in the path of his swiping claws. They are similarly of various lengths.

These platforms appear during the battle with [[Dry Bowser]] in {{world-link|star|castlen2|World Star-Castle}} in the same capacity.
