Switch]] area in [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]]. In this bonus area, a [[Yoshi (species)|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]] and in [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]]. | ||
Another, shorter variant, also called a teeter-totter,<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 123.</ref> appearing as a bar of log similar to [[Spinning Log]]s, is found in later levels, first appearing in [[Watch Out For Lakitu]]. Each of these logs balances on a small point in the middle. Standing on them causes them to tilt and potentially fall unless a Yoshi is in the center. Most of the log-based ones are each situated on a [[stump|post]] that ends in a [[Spike Trap|wooden stake]]. The posts also sometimes have a different color like other posts, such as dark blue in cavern levels. Certain wobbling logs balance on other surfaces that are not dangerous to touch. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], a seesaw that resembles a wooden bridge is located near the Chain Chomp on the [[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 is 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. | |||

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', two seesaws appear in [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]]. One of them allows the player to access a gap at the top of the level, where the third Star Coin and the secret exit are located. They behave the same as the larger variant in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', two seesaws appear in [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]].

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.
