| | A '''Paddle Wheel''' is a round platform made up of four smaller platforms (similar to [[Flatbed Ferry|Flatbed Ferries]]) appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Some, particularly those of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, strictly move left and right, while others travel along paths in the air like a Flatbed Ferry. Either way, the player must walk on it to make it start spinning. Paddle Wheels may occasionally fall into another path. |

Some Paddle Platforms, particularly those of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], strictly move left and right, while others travel along paths or have a stationary pivot point. Either way, the player must walk on the platforms to make them start spinning.

| ==History==
| | Two platform wheels similar to Paddle Wheels appear in the ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' [[minigame]] [[Pedal to the Paddle]], except they are each made up of five wooden platforms. |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| | {{br}} |
| ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
| |
| [[File:SMW2 Paddle Wheel.png|thumb]]
| |
| Paddle wheels make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]; while big ones first appear in the level [[Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts]] and then appear occasionally afterwards, small ones appear in [[Prince Froggy's Fort]], [[More Monkey Madness]], and [[Danger - Icy Conditions Ahead]]. While big paddle wheels are green in color, small ones are magenta in color.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the {{wp|windpump}} in the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] race course plays the sound effect as the paddle wheels in this game.
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| Paddle wheels reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', behaving the same as in their debut game. While the large ones first appear in [[Castle of the Big Burt Bros.]] and appear occasionally throughout, small ones are slightly less common now, first appearing in [[Castle of Priscilla the Peckish]]. While large paddle wheels on tracks are still green in color, the large stationary paddle wheels are now yellow in color. Additionally, a new variety of paddle wheel with a pivot point resembling the spokes of a pedal-powered vehicle is showcased in [[Six-Face Sal's Fort]] and also occasionally appears in [[At Last, Bowser's Castle!]]; when turned, they cause certain mechanisms to move.
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| |
| [[File:3-4 SlimeDropDrama SmileyFlower2.png|thumb|left|[[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] on a Paddle Platform in ''Yoshi's New Island''.]]
| |
| Paddle Platforms return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. This time, they are slightly less common; while ones of numerous colors and consisting of five or three platforms appear in the level [[Slime Drop Drama]], one appears near the end of [[Don't Fear the Spear]], one appears in a secret area of [[Lose the Lunge Fish]], and one with shorter platforms appears after the halfway point of [[Leapin' Lava Meltdown]]. They behave the same as in previous installments. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| Paddle wheels make their debut in the ''Super Mario'' franchise in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', appearing in [[World 4-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-A]] and [[World 7-7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-7]]. They behave the same as they do in the ''Yoshi'' franchise, although some move on [[poison (obstacle)|poison]] rather than tracks, and one can be shown falling off a track without an end point. A large, automatic counterclockwise-spinning version appears in {{world-link|2|towern|World 2-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| |
| A single paddle wheel appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', specifically in [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-1]] during the segment with the level's [[Red Ring]]. It rolls along a horizontal track.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| |
| Paddle wheels return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with multiple appearing throughout [[World 5-6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-6]] and {{world-link|flower|2|World Flower-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, as well as one appearing throughout the second section of the [[First Course (Impossible Pack)|first level]] of the [[Impossible Pack]]. They behave the same as in past installments.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| |
| Paddle Platforms return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its remake]]. Only two appear in the entire game, both in [[Fuzzy Clifftop]]: the first one appears just after the level's [[Checkpoint Flag]], and the second one appears just before the level's [[Goal Pole]]. They move along tracks.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Party 9''====
| |
| Paddle wheels appear along horizontal tracks in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', in the minigame [[Pedal to the Paddle]]. The paddle wheels consist of five platforms instead of the usual four, which would later be implemented in ''Yoshi's New Island''. Its pivot point resembles a [[Turning Floor]] from {{world-link|6|airship|World 6-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', which would later be the basis for the platforms in ''Yoshi's Crafted World''.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Party 10''====
| |
| Paddle Platforms appear along tracked floors in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', in the minigame [[Revolving Relay]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
| |
| Paddle Platforms reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its port]], behaving the same as in previous installments. They are about as common as they were in ''Yoshi's New Island'' but made of yellow and green yarn; three appear in the first half of [[Rollin' Down the River]], one appears near the end of [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]], and two each appear near the beginning and near the end of [[Kamek's Last-Ditch Flyby]]. The ones in the latter two levels move horizontally despite not having any visible tracks, and the later one in the game is a long version.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
| |
| Paddle Platforms return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', where they only appear in [[Spinwheel Shuffle]]. They move along horizontal and vertical tracks. One of them looks like a Ferris wheel.
