| Rolling logs in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' are cylindrical wooden platforms that, when stood on, roll over. The player must [[dash|run]] along them or [[jump]] carefully to avoid falling off until they reach their destination on a set path. When the rolling logs are not stood on, they begin to roll back to their original positions. One appears in [[Lethal Lava Land]] and is the focus of the mission [[Red-Hot Log Rolling]], and another is on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]].
