'''Turning Floors''' are continually moving objects that appear in ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' platformers. They are large, semicircular platforms that turn clockwise or counterclockwise, moving anything on them as they do so.

==History==
{{rewrite-expand|reason=include all level appearances in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and ''New Super Luigi U''}}
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', [[Bowser Castle (DS)|Bowser Castle]] has a Turning Floor that periodically changes direction.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Hollow Turning Floors appear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. There is one before the underwater area in [[Bowser's Castle (3DS)|Bowser's Castle]]; racers can pass through it, or use an alternate path to drive on top. After the start of the third section of [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|Rainbow Road]], there is a Turning Floor with [[Dash Panel]]s and [[Glide Ramp]]s inside.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW World 8-2 Screenshot.png|thumb|Turning Floors in World 8-2 of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' features Turning Floors in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]], [[World 1-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-6]], [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-2]], {{world-link|6|airship|World 6-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, and [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]]. They appear in various sizes and are partly embedded in the ground or overlapped with other Turning Floors. Often, there are rows of [[coin]]s or [[Hidden Coin|Dash Coins]] that move along with them, and in common instances they also carry enemies such as [[Goomba]]s, [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Hefty Goomba]]s, and [[Spike Ball]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Turning Floors reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', acting in much the same way as previously. They are encountered in the levels [[Yoshi Hill]] and [[Blooming Lakitus]] in the former, and in [[Rolling Yoshi Hills]] and [[Spinning Sandstones]] in the latter.

Icy Turning Floors also appear in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' level [[Prickly Goombas!]] and its ''New Super Luigi U'' counterpart, [[Fire and Ice]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', Turning Floors are most notably seen in [[Really Rolling Hills]] and its [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|World Mushroom]] [[Night Falls on Really Rolling Hills|counterpart]], where [[Skipsqueak]]s and [[Spiny Skipsqueak]]s will run opposite to the direction the Turning Floor is moving, keeping themselves centered on the platform. Other entities, such as [[Galoomba]]s and [[List of items|items]] summoned from the [[Item Storage]], will also move in the direction of the Turning Floor if they remain stationary. 

[[Mario]] and other characters can progress by walking or running in the opposite direction, jumping forwards, or many times simply avoiding the platform altogether. However, fully circular, mandatory Turning Floors appear in [[Rainbow Run]], along with Skipsqueaks. The direction and speed of Turning Floors varies greatly. Skipsqueaks do not appear to change their running speed to account for this, yet still appear on the center of the platform.

A very large, circular Turning Floor appears in the twenty-sixth room of [[Mystery House Marathon]], where the character must stay on top of it as it moves to reach the [[Green Star]] at the end. Its design appears to be styled after [[Cookie Cogworks]].

In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', hollow Turning Floors appear in [[Slipskate Slope]], in segmented sections that move left and right. While Skipsqueaks are found on top of these platforms, inside are spikes that Mario must carefully avoid being pushed into while in an [[Ice Skate]].

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Turning Floors appear in all versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', appearing only in the level [[Rolling Inferno]]. They may be colored blue or green, but this is merely an aesthetic change, as their direction of rotation is indicated by chevron arrows imprinted on them. In part due to [[Captain Toad]]'s inability to jump, once the player crosses a Turning Floor, they cannot move against it.
