A '''Flatbed Ferry''' is a kind of moving platform originating in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. It is comparable to a generic [[lift]]; Flatbed Ferries differ mainly through the distinct zigzag pattern on their sides.

==History==
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
Flatbed Ferries appear in every game of the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, as well as ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. When [[jump]]ed upon, they typically follow a preset path marked by a [[track]]. When a Flatbed Ferry reaches the end of the line, blocked by a little red sphere, it switches its direction of movement; if the line ends without a sphere, the Flatbed Ferry falls down, but it may be "caught" by another track if it falls on one, and it starts 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 [[fortress]]es, the colors are a pale pink, periwinkle, and cyan. Magenta ones appear as part of [[Paddle Platform|paddle wheel]]s. The [[liquid lift]] and [[Blarggwich]] carry green Flatbed Ferries.

===''Game & Watch Gallery 2''===
On 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 flipping a switch. On the first stage, the Flatbed Ferry revolves around a point, similarly to a paddle wheel, and makes four 90-degree turns before completing one rotation. On the second stage, the platform swings from side to side on a chain in three positions. Flatbed Ferries are replaced in the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' version by more thematically fitting platforms.

===''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
A pink Flatbed Ferry, with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] sitting on it, appears near the starting line of [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC pack for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
