Editing Trapeze

'''Trapezes''', originally known as '''swings''', are platforming objects in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are used to swing across [[pit]]s, similar to [[rope]]s seen in other ''Super Mario'' games. The player characters grips a trapeze's bar on contact. Flicking the control stick left and right causes the character to swing the trapeze and build momentum. Letting go at the apex propels the character farther than they would have otherwise.

Swings (recognized as "trapezes" in the [[Prima Games]] guidebook)<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher Black|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2007|page=62}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2010|page=101, 103, 170, 212, 213}}</ref> are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They resemble a green bar with flowers at opposite ends, and are suspended by [[vine]]s. They only appear in [[Galaxy|galaxies]] with naturalistic terrain, starting with the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. The first one is near the player's starting position, suspended a little above ground. Falling from this swing is not detrimental to the player's progress. In "[[Trouble on the Tower]]", another trapeze occurs well above the ground and is needed to traverse between platforms. Slipping from this one does not make [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) lose a life, but it does necessitate climbing the tower again. Another swing appears in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]], hanging from a palm tree. Letting go at the highest arc of a swing rewards Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] before falling into the [[water]]. In the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], a swing tosses Mario into a [[Sling Star]] needed to reach distant terrain. Another one suspended well above ground during "[[Purple Coins in the Woods]]" is required to reach two [[Purple Coin]]s.
