'''Falling Rocks''' are platforms in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. When stood upon by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], they fall down into the ground, or off the screen. They shake when Yoshi stands on one, indicating that they will fall. They appear in a few levels, but mostly in the level [[Visit Koopa and Para-Koopa]].

When stood upon by the player character, they fall down into the ground or off the screen.


==History==
The rocks make a reappearance in the sequel to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They have the same effect as in the previous game, and they appear mainly in Level 4-1, [[Rock 'n' Fall]].
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
Falling stone blocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They initially stand in mid-air, but if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] steps on one, it shakes and starts descending continuously. Depending on their positioning, they may either drop down into an abyss or crash onto ground and come to a stop. Yoshi loses a life if he is caught between a stone block and a platform. Falling stone blocks appear in [[Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa]], [[Lakitu's Wall]], and [[Shifting Platforms Ahead]]; in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', they additionally appear in [[Exercise in the Skies]]. The course Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa features a vertically-scrolling section with stone blocks that drop by themselves for above, requiring the Yoshi to navigate them and stay on top of the continually rising tower of blocks in order to progress.
 
===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', the typical Cascading Stones mainly appear in [[Rock 'n' Fall]], though other behaviors appear elsewhere; some fall only when terrain under them is destroyed with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]], while others stand on solid ground and can be raised with a switch. A type known as '''Sliding Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=171|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 19, 2006|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-5576-5}}</ref> appears in [[Tap-Tap's Sunken Cave]] and [[Teeth-Chattering Chill Zone]].
 
===''Yoshi's New Island''===
Cascading Stones reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' as a feature of [[Koopa Canyon]], where their falling behavior was slightly altered, as they shake before abruptly falling instead of a more gradual descent. Similar terrain appears in [[Crumble Rock Rumble]].
 
===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:YWW Cascading Stone.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Cascading Stones are made out of yarn, and they appear in [[Lakitu Peekaboo]].
