==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
Pendulum Platforms first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are chained red platforms that sway from side to side indefinitely, and they appear only in {{world-link|1|tower|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===

Pendulum Platforms return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', exhibiting exactly the same behavior as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', albeit now being colored blue. They appear in [[Lemmy's Swingback Castle]] in the former and in [[Lemmy's Lights-Out Castle]] and [[Boo's Favorite Haunt]] in the latter.

Pendulum Platforms reprise the aforementioned roles in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.
