'''Tracks''', also known as '''rails''',<ref> | '''Tracks''', also known as '''rails''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> are objects found in many ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games, debuting in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are paths drawn in the air on which objects—most commonly [[lift]]s but including other objects such as [[? Block]]s and enemies—travel. They can form closed loops, closed paths (where the object reverses direction upon reaching the end), or open paths (where the object leaves the track to either fly onto another track or simply fall). | ||

Rails first appear in [[World 1-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-6]] of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are always found with a lift connected to them, and unlike untracked lifts, these ones move along the set path; some of them (such as the first two in [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-2]]) start moving only once [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] [[jump]]s on them. Some rails feature endpoints known as '''motors'''.<ref> | Rails first appear in [[World 1-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-6]] of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

Tracks can also be used as objects in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be produced in eight directions, and they can be made into one-way paths when connected to each other as is or loops when connected back to the start. If the player places an object on a track, it will move along the set path. The direction in which the object moves initially can also be set. On a non-looped path, once an object reaches the end, it goes back the other way; however, tapping on one of the two endpoints makes it disappear, causing any objects that reach the end to fall off the track instead. If the player shakes a track, it will make it rounded. Doors and large-scale objects such as [[Mushroom Platform]]s and [[Warp Pipe]]s cannot be placed on tracks. Objects placed on tracks almost never interact with untracked objects, with the exception of Mario and most enemies. For example, if [[block]]s of any variety are placed on a track and derails off it, they will pass through ground and untracked blocks, but they will collide with an enemy and defeat it, including [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Bowser]] but not [[Boo]]s and [[Blooper]]s. | Tracks can also be used as objects in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

Tracks return as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Some tracks can have their position changed by using [[ON/OFF Switch]]es. | |||

====''Yoshi's Story''==== | |||
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', tracks appear in the level [[Rail Lift]], where they carry smiling cloud platforms. Octagonal objects with levers attached, known simply as '''switches''', are present along the tracks. A [[Baby Yoshi]] can hit a switch with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] to change the path of the track. | |||

Rails return in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''. The player can move lifts across these rails by tilting their [[Game Boy Advance]]. | |||
