Seesaws first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where one is first found in the hidden [[! Switch]] area in [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]]. In this bonus area, [[Yoshi]] must tilt the seesaw to collect the [[coin]]s; if he falls off, he can no longer reach them and is forced to leave the area. A seesaw also appears in [[Burt The Bashful's Fort]]. | |||
Another | Another variant of seesaws, appearing as a bar of log similar to [[Spinning Log]]s, is found in later levels, first appearing in [[Watch Out For Lakitu]]. The bar is situated on a [[Stump|post]] which ends in a [[Spike Trap|wooden stake]]. The bar balances on this stake, and rocks back and forth when Yoshi is not on it; if Yoshi stands on it, the seesaw tips over until it topples. If Yoshi directly touches the spike, it damages him, causing him to drop [[Baby Mario]] in the process. Seesaw posts also sometimes have a different color like other posts, such as dark blue in cavern levels. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]], a seesaw that resembles a wooden bridge is located near the Chain Chomp in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]]. Two seesaws appear in the final section of [[Bowser in the Dark World]], two in [[The Secret Under the Moat]] and one in [[Bowser in the Sky]]. Two seesaws made of stone appear in [[Rainbow Ride]]. | |||
A turning platform similar to a seesaw appears in the initial section of Bowser in the Sky, and one in the room that contains a bookcase in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] that drops the player into the merry-go-round area if they stand on it for too long. | |||

Seesaws appear as a course element in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are colored orange in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, and red in all other styles. In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''Super Mario World'' styles, they appear to be metallic, but in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style, they are wooden.

Like normal [[Lift]]s, their length can be changed, and they can be placed on [[Track (object)|tracks]]. They work similarly to their appearance in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' (with the ''Super Mario Bros. 3''-styled ones even resembling them), in that they tilt left or right depending on the player's or an enemy's position, but they can no longer do a full 360° rotation. | ||
Seesaws can be abruptly tilted when a [[Thwomp]] falls on one side, throwing any playable characters and objects on the other side high into the air. This can also be achieved if a player [[Ground Pound]]s on the Seesaw (requiring a [[Dry Bones Shell]] to do so in the ''Super Mario World'' style and either a Dry Bones Shell or a big [[Goomba's Shoe]] in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles). Furthermore, [[Bowser]] can perform this as well in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style using his Ground Pound attack. | Seesaws can be abruptly tilted when a [[Thwomp]] falls on one side, throwing any playable characters and objects on the other side high into the air.
