A '''Paddle Platform'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 146.</ref> (formerly known as a '''paddle wheel'''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 122. "'''''PADDLE WHEEL''' Red ones spin in place, while green ones move across the screen. The trick to getting a paddle wheel to spin is to jump straight up. When you land on the next platform, your weight will cause the wheel to spin. You'll find lots of opportunities to practice, because these dino-movers are found throughout Yoshi's Island.''"</ref>) is a round platform made up of four smaller platforms that typically move on [[track (object)|track]]s (similar to [[Flatbed Ferry|Flatbed Ferries]]) appearing in numerous 2D platformers in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' and ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchises. Some, particularly those of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, strictly move left and right, while others travel along paths or have a stationary pivot point. Either way, the player must walk on it to make it start spinning.

Paddle wheels make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]; 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.

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.

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''; 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.

Paddle Platforms return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', where they only appear in [[Spinwheel Shuffle]]. They move along horizontal and vertical tracks.

Paddle wheels make their debut in the ''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.

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.

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''.
