==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 Cloud Lift.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Cloud Lifts appear only in [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-2]]. There, they move to the left and are the main mode of transportation in that [[level]].
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', several clouds appear in the final [[level]] of the [[Tree Zone]], [[Final Boss: The Big Bird]]. These [[lift]]s have blinking eyes and simply move back and forth.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
While Cloud Lifts do not appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', [[Bouncy Cloud]]s that act as a substitute are introduced.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Cloud Lifts are long platforms that move to the right when initially landed on. Several of them appear in [[Land of Flying Blocks]].

====''New Super Luigi U''====
In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', only one Cloud Lift appears in the level [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]]. It works the same as it does in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. [[Luigi]] and/or the others start the level jumping on top of it. It has an [[Arrow Sign]] on top of it, and it cannot be destroyed by the [[Mecha Hand]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', they are usually still, though some move horizontally or vertically. Some Cloud Lifts are invisible and can be seen only by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing near them or shaking the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]].

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Cloud Lifts reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they can be used exclusively in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' game style. They replace Lifts and [[Flimsy Lift]]s from the other game styles. Like Lifts and Flimsy Lifts, their length can be changed. They can move vertically or horizontally in all four cardinal directions.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', Cloud Lifts have a smiling face design and are stationary, acting as wider versions of [[Cloud Block]]s. The large cloud used by the [[Lakitu trio]] looks like a big version of it.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Cloud Lifts are stationary platforms that come in large, medium, and small sizes. They are common floating objects in outdoor levels.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Cloud Lifts reappear in the [[Training Course]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.

-Cloud Lifts debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they appear in [[Coin Heaven|Bonus Stages]], first seen in [[World_2-1_(Super_Mario_Bros.)|World 2-1]]. They are initially stationary, but landing on one will cause it to travel to the right indefinitely. In [[Hard Mode]], they are smaller. They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', which features the smaller versions in Worlds A-D.
