#{{User|Axii}} Per my reasoning in the comments. If some platforms were to be merged, this is not the right way to do it.

#{{User|Hewer}} Per Axii, I think this proposal's reasoning is too reliant on shared functions alone. Different objects can have the same functions, such as the excluded [[Donut Block]].
 
#{{User|Arend}} Secondary choice, per Axii, on top of my reasoning to leave the Cascading Stones out of this.
#{{User|Salmancer}} I think what's happening is that we should split the large platforms from [[World 8-Bowser: Part 2]] and merge that with Moon platform, if we're doing things based on functionality. Type of crumbling platform exclusive to final scenarios with square proportions that can be triggered by forces aside from Mario. (Bowser's flames in 3D Land, Moon chicanery in Odyssey.) And Cascading Stones don't vanish and respawn, a core part of the concept.

:::::In your personal view, should the platforms from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario Odyssey'' not share an article because one is stone and one is metal? - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 13:03, December 18, 2024 (EST)

:::::: From what it seems, they are different objects used in different contexts and different appearance with no links to each other. I would say they should stay separate. [[User:Axii|Axii]] ([[User talk:Axii|talk]]) 14:19, December 18, 2024 (EST)

:::::::Interesting. When I played ''Odyssey'', I immediately recognized them as the same platforms from ''3D Land'', and this even seems to be attested in their most recurring proportions, how they fall, the speed with which they fall, how they are arranged in levels, their similar Japanese names, and the fact that ''3D Land'' and ''Odyssey'' share much of the same staff. I feel like I have been provided every reason to substantiate the view that they are the same object. Our positions seem analogous to {{wp|lumpers and splitters}}. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:13, December 18, 2024 (EST)
@Arend: There are moon platforms in the last bit of the escape sequence in Odyssey that fall on their own without being stepped on. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 12:37, December 18, 2024 (EST)

I'm fairly certain the moon platforms are a non-respawning set, and therefore functionally distinct from the Wooded Kingdom crumbling platforms. But now I gotta head to the game to verify. Moon platforms respawning wouldn't make sense though, since the platforms are falling to ratchet up the tension. If they just poofed back into existence by waiting, then all the panicked runs up these sequences would be meaningless. Give me a day or so.

:Yeah, Moon platforms do not respawn. Which personally creates a very different feeling than the compatriots of falling platforms and donut blocks. It makes the situation more desperate and tense, since you can never retrace steps inside the moon where as you eventually can on the falling platforms. (Yes, a skilled player will never run out of leg room, but like, the design intention should still stand). [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 00:55, December 23, 2024 (EST)
