A '''Flatbed Ferry'''<ref>[[Flatbed Ferry Freefall]]</ref> is a kind of moving platform originating in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. It is comparable to a generic [[Lift]]; they differ mainly through the distinct zig-zag pattern on their sides.

==History==
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
Flatbed Ferries appear in all ''Yoshi's Island'' installments, as well as ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. When jumped upon, they typically follow a preset path marked by a [[Track (object)|track]]. When a Flatbed Ferry reaches the end of the line, blocked by a little red sphere, it will switch its direction of movement; if the line ends without a sphere, the Flatbed Ferry will fall down, but may be "caught" by another track if it falls on one, and will start following it.

Flatbed Ferries appear in a variety of colors, such as green, yellow, and red, with each getting progressively faster; in the isometric sections found in certain fortresses, the colors are a pale pink, periwinkle, and cyan. Magenta ones appear as part of [[paddle wheel]]s. [[Roger Lift]] and [[Blarggwich]] carry green Flatbed Ferries.

===''Game & Watch Gallery 2''===
In the first and second stages of the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' rendition of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]'', Flatbed Ferries appear as the last platforms [[Mario]] must use to reach the goal. In both instances, they are activated temporarily by toggling a switch. In the first stage, the Flatbed Ferry revolves around a single point, similarly to a [[paddle wheel]], and makes four 90 degree turns before completing one rotation. In the second stage, the platform swings from side to side on a chain in three positions. They are replaced in the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' version with more thematically-fitting platforms.
