In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Skull Rafts are used to help [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] cross the [[lava]] river. They are only seen in [[Vanilla Dome 3]] and [[Vanilla Dome 4]], where there are large areas filled with lava rivers. However, sometimes, [[Blargg]]s will jump out and try to attack Mario or Luigi, so they must jump to avoid them, then land back on the Skull Raft.
