'''Floating barrels'''<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|date=2009|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=978-0-3074-6767-6|page=93}}</ref> are [[lift]]s that float on the surface of [[water]] in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. They function like large buoys and slowly sink under the surface when stood on by player characters, but rise back up once they hop off.

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
Floating barrels debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', appearing in the waters of [[World 3-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-A]] and [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-2]]. They slowly sink when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) is on top of them unless he is in his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]. Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s occur on the tops of some floating barrels and do not weigh them down. The barrels always occur in the same waters as bomb-dropping [[Skeeter (New Super Mario Bros.)|Skeeter]]s. In World 8-3, a [[? Switch]] causes the [[water tide|water level to rise]] and it carries the barrels with them.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', floating barrels occur only in [[World 4-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-2]], a course filled with [[Cheep Cheep]]s. The first [[Star Coin]] of the course is above a floating barrel, and [[Hidden Coin]]s can be collected above several of them. Unlike the smaller [[barrel]]s in the game that the player character can carry, the large floating barrels has four hoops instead of three, just like the ones in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.''

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
Floating barrels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' appear as sinkable platforms in the waters of the beach-themed [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-1]], functioning identically as they did in their predecessors. The third Star Coin is found below a barrel, which must be stood on to sink deep enough in order to collect.
