'''Floors''', also called '''platforms''',<ref>{{cite|author=Rocha, Garitt, and Nick von Esmarch|date=2016|title=''Playing With Power: Nintendo NES Classics''|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=9780744017779|page=53–58}}</ref> are the blue platforms in the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' arcade game and its various ports. They have subsequently appeared in contexts alluding to ''Mario Bros.'' in the franchise, as well as an independent platform in the mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. Player characters can [[jump]] into floors from below to bend or dislodge individual segments, stunning or defeating any enemy standing on top. The gameplay mechanic of these floors has subsequently become incorporated into other games in the franchise and has become a stable of their platformers, most notably through [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s.
==History==
===''Mario Bros.''===
[[File:MarioBrosAC.png|thumb|Screenshot of ''Mario Bros.'']]
Floors appear as the main platforms used in ''Mario Bros.'' While they function as normal platforms when the player stands on them, the player can also bump them from below to stun enemies and collect [[coin]]s on the place where the platform was bumped. Their appearance changes depending on the phase, and there are also slippery and invisible versions.

Floors reprise their roles in the various in-game ports of ''Mario Bros.'', including the [[Mario Bros. (Super Mario Bros. 3)|battle mode]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Battle Game (Super Mario All-Stars)|Battle Game]] in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' games]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and the game ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|port]].

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Floors reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', behaving the same as in their debut game. They appear in [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] and [[World 8-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-6]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
'''Red and white platforms'''<ref>[[Screwtop It Up]] video description in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.</ref> return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|enhanced port]]. They are the same as before. Red and white platforms appear in [[Screwtop Tower]], [[Shifting-Floor Cave]], and {{world link|coin|2|World Coin-2 (New Super Mario Bros. U)}} in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and in [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]] in ''New Super Luigi U''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Floors appear in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] in the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]] stage introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They function the same as in the original arcade game. Bumping the platform while an opponent is on top bumps them into the air with no damage taken.
