They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels, and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They consist of a set of blocks that start out as a normal platform and begin to move like a snake when stepped on by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Snake Blocks can turn left, right, up, or down as they follow a predetermined course over obstacles such as a wide pool of [[lava]], a bed of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s, or a bottomless [[pit]]. Mario must continue to move and follow it when on these blocks, otherwise they keep moving under Mario's feet, and he may possibly fall off. | '''Snake Blocks''', originally named '''snake platforms'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|title=''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2–Prima’s Official Strategy Guide''|page=70|date=February 26, 2002|quote=To get the first Dragon Coin of the area, jump onto the “snake platform” to the right of the entrance.|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3913-1}}</ref> and also named '''Caterpillar Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=84, 85, 120, 140, 166, 227|language=en-us|publisher=Prima Games|date=2012|isbn=978-0-307-89552-3}}</ref> or simply '''Platforms''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=18 and 20|date=September 1991|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are [[block]]s usually found in castle-type levels.
