'''Floaters'''<ref | {{quote2|[[Wario]] can ride this creature in the air. The [[Arrow Sign|arrow]] on its ball shows the direction that it will float. A knock on the head will change its direction.|''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' instruction booklet, page 20}} | ||
'''Floaters'''<ref>''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' English instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> are rare, floating creatures that appear in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. They are statue-like beings that [[Wario]] can ride. They move in the direction the arrow in their head is pointing, and Wario can control the direction in which they go by jumping and landing back on top of them, similar to the [[Directional Lift]]s with exclamation marks in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are only found in two courses of the game: [[Course No. 11]] and [[Course No. 17]]. If Wario falls off of the Floater, he may fall into a [[pit]] and lose a life. | |||
