'''Swings''' are [[lift]]s in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. One resembles a flat, broad platform attached to an unmoving pivot point swinging back and forth. Unlike similar platforms like [[Single Swing Lift]]s or [[Paddle Platform]]s, swings move regardless of whether any player character has touched them, like a [[pendulum]].

 

Though not in the game, the [[Pinna Park#Pirate Ships|Pirate Ships]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' function similarly.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', two swings<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|date=1996|title=''The Super Mario 64 Player's Guide''|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|location=Redmond|page=122}}</ref> appear in [[Rainbow Ride]], towards the southwest. They are prominent fixtures in the mission [[Swingin' in the Breeze]], where the player character must use them, a [[seesaw]], and [[Donut Block|Falling Block]]s to reach the [[Power Star]]. The first swing moves over solid ground that catches the player character if he falls off. The second, higher swing needed to reach the Star is positioned away from solid ground, above the clouds.

Large, broad swings make their only appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in {{world link|4|castlen|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, moving back and forth over [[lava]]. They are the primary platforms needed to reach the boss [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]].

The swings in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' have even broader platforms than in prior appearances. They appear only in {{world link|6|castle|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, swinging above a sea of lava in a course that leads to [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] These swings sweep through the lava, necessitating that the player keep moving. The similar-looking [[Pendulum Platform]] debuts in this game and has a comparable function, but it is suspended by chains and is a proportionately narrower lift.

 

 

 

An otherworldly subarea in [[Cascade Kingdom|Fossil Falls]] has swings suspended between other platforms, swaying over [[pit|empty space]]. [[Mario]] must utilize them and the [[hat cloud]]s to obtain the [[List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom|37th and 38th Power Moons]] in the Cascade Kingdom. This is the only location with swings in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. As with other platforms in these types of subareas, they resemble geometric, plastic blocks.
