'''Countdown Platforms''' are floating [[Semisolid Platform|semisolid platform]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They resemble scales with a number labeled on each, this number decreasing by one every time something moves off them. Because of this, the counter does not go down when the player has a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] stand on them; it decreases only when the Yoshi steps off or [[jump]]s off them. If the weight on the scale is removed when the counter is at one, the platform vanishes in a puff of smoke. Countdown Platforms typically range from a highest display of four to a lowest of one, but in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', some go as high as nine. In most games, Countdown Platforms can be activated only by a Yoshi, and every other object passes through them. However, in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s can also trigger these platforms.

[[Dropdown Countdown Lift]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' function very similarly to Countdown Platforms, both being semisolid platforms that count down how many times the player can step on them. However, the counter on a Dropdown Countdown Lift decreases when stepped on, rather than when stepped off.
