| #{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - They are an interactive object with a distinct behavior, a "name," and they don't seem to be on "tracks," just thin shafts? Could easily just repurpose the article for similar acting platforms (Tick-Tock Clock's blocks, for example), and if I'm not mistaken, they appear in more SMO "platforming areas" than just Mt. Volbono's. All in all, I fail to see a compelling reason to nix it entirely at this juncture.

| #{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} - Per Doc von Schmeltwick. To me, the notion of creating a separate article on the rotating rectangular prisms with notches from ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' is further evidence to keep this article, especially since the objects discussed in this article have an officially sanctioned name. Additionally, other nearly indistinct objects, such as the four [[Barrier (Super Mario Odyssey)|barrier]]s in Shiveria Town, also have their own articles.

| Before I vote on this, one thing I'm thinking of is the rotating blocks from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''—specifically in the missions "[[The Secret of Ricco Tower]]" and "[[The Shell's Secret]]"—in which they're turning wooden planks spotted with random notches on them. They also reappear in both missions of [[Twisty Trials Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. [[:File:SMG2 Twisty Trials Cloud Section.png|The two platforms in this photo are what I'm talking about.]]

| | |
| And here's the kicker: these particular platforms even reappear in ''{{wp|A Hat in Time}}'' in some of the Time Rift levels (though I can't remember which ones). What I'm saying is, why don't we create an article on those platforms instead, especially since they're not ''as'' generic as they appear to be? {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 14:53, August 17, 2022 (EDT)

| ::I would suggest to add a third option, then: "Rename it to something else" (and redirect the old name to [[Rotating Block]]). Or, perhaps, merge it with [[rotating platform (Super Mario Odyssey)|rotating platform]] if you prefer that. In all regards, I am vehemently against merging this article with [[Track]], because the blocks attached to a track move ''along'' the track's... well, er, ''track'', they don't stay in one place and rotate. Meanwhile, these spinning platforms are attached to straight rods like a shish kebab, and said rod spins (which is very unlike a Track). Like Archivist Toadette said, this could very well serve as its own article, but just needs a different name. There have also been several rotating platforms in previous Mario games too, like in ''Super Mario 64'' or ''Super Mario 3D World'', as well as 2D ones like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', so maybe this article can be broadened to include those rotating platform as well (then again, in that case, I'd suggest merging with [[rotating platform (Super Mario Odyssey)|rotating platform]] and expand that article to include more kinds of rotating platforms).

| :::[[rotating platform (Super Mario Odyssey)|Rotating platforms]] have a completely different gameplay mechanic, so they cannot be merged with. They require Mario's Cappy interraction to even start moving, and while they do move, they never stop. I'm not even suggesting these blocks to be merged with [[track]]. They aren't tracks. The track functionality in this sub-area should be merged with [[track]], otherwise it's just shapes that don't appear to do anything if they weren't on tracks -- they otherwise do not serve any gameplay purpose -- this is a track functionality.
