Bridges first appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' The first level it appears in is [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]]. In this level, [[Cheep Cheep]]s jump out of thin air underneath the bridges in the level. It later appears in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. In this level, it appears only once, with three [[Goomba]]s on top of it. It then appears in [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-3]]. It appears as often as the bridges in World 2-3, with Cheep Cheeps still jumping out of thin air underneath the bridges.
In ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', bridges appear in every boss battle. [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can defeat [[Bowser]] or his [[Impostor Bowser|impostors]] by touching the [[axe|ax]], which will sever the bridge and cause him to fall into [[lava]].
 
A different type of bridge appear in Worlds [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|2-3]] and [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|7-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and  Worlds [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|1-3]], [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|2-3]], [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|6-3]], and [[World C-2|C-2]] of ''The Lost Levels''. [[Cheep Cheep]]s jump out of thin air underneath the bridges in these levels. While the same type of bridge appears in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 2-1]] of ''The Lost Levels'', Cheep Cheeps do not arise from under them, but are occupied by other enemies.

Bridges return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', in which they first appear at the end of [[World 3-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-8]]. They are typically blue, but are gray in castle stages and the [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Traps]]. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, however, all bridges are made yellow instead.

Bridges return as a placeable part in ''[[Super Mario Maker]], [[Super Mario Maker for 3DS]], and [[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. It is found in the terrain section in the Course Maker, only found in all the 2D styles. Bridges act like [[Semisolid Platform]]s, except that no other Terrain object can overlap it. In the Course Maker, the player can extend or narrow the bridge to a minimum of 3 tiles or a maximum of around 8 tiles. When placed, it is set to a length of 3 tiles. In the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style in the [[Forest]] theme, they will look like log bridges. In any other theme, it will look like a normal bridge. Like Semisolid Platforms, two can’t overlap on the same tile with the semisolid (the part that the player can stand on) part, though it is allowed to place them next to each other or on top of each other. Bridges are used in some courses as normal bridges to use as decoration. The player can also use bridges as platforms to get across [[Pit]]s. In the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style, they have lots of colors, but in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style, every bridge is the same.
Bridges appear again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They first appear in [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]], appearing only twice at the beginning of the level. They then appear in {{world-link|1|towern|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, appearing almost everywhere in the level. They also appear in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-4]], [[World 2-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]], and [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]], as well as the rest of the [[tower]] levels.

Bridges act like Semisolid Platforms, except that no other terrain object can overlap them. In the Course Maker, the player can extend or retract the bridge to a minimum of three tiles or a maximum of around twenty tiles. When placed, it is set to its shortest length by default. In the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style in the Ground, Desert, Sky, Snow, and Forest themes, they look like log bridges. In any other theme of that style, they look like normal bridges. In the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style, bridges have many colors, but in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style, every bridge is the same.

Bridges are a kind of Semisolid Platform in the Super Mario games. They first appear in Super Mario Bros.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, bridges appear in every boss battle. Mario or Luigi can defeat Bowser or his impostors by touching the ax, which will sever the bridge and cause him to fall into lava.

A different type of bridge appear in Worlds 2-3 and 7-3 of Super Mario Bros. and Worlds 1-3, 2-3, 6-3, and C-2 of The Lost Levels. Cheep Cheeps jump out of thin air underneath the bridges in these levels. While the same type of bridge appears in World 3-1 of Super Mario Bros. and World 2-1 of The Lost Levels, Cheep Cheeps do not arise from under them, but are occupied by other enemies.

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Bridges return in Super Mario Bros. 3, in which they first appear at the end of World 3-8. They are typically blue, but are gray in castle stages and the Hand Traps. In the Super Mario All-Stars version, however, all bridges are made yellow instead.

Super Mario World[edit]

Bridges in Butter Bridge 2

Bridges reappear in Super Mario World, where they come in two different varieties. Log bridges solely appear in the Twin Bridges area, specifically in Butter Bridge 1, Butter Bridge 2, and the Cheese Bridge Area. They are joined by yellow bridges that look closer to the bridges in the previous games, and these bridges appear predominantly in Coin Heavens as well as #5 Roy's Castle and Bowser's Castle.

While the yellow bridges are completely solid as they have been in previous games, log bridges are semisolid instead; this would be adopted for all bridges in future games.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Bridges appear again in New Super Mario Bros. They first appear in World 1-2, appearing only twice at the beginning of the level. They then appear in World 1-Tower, appearing almost everywhere in the level. They also appear in World 1-4, World 2-1, and World 2-3, as well as the rest of the tower levels.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Bridges appear again in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They first appear in World 1-2, then appear occasionally afterwards. They always appear in the tower levels.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Bridges return as a placeable part in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. They are found in the terrain section in the Course Maker in all styles except for the Super Mario 3D World style. Bridges act like Semisolid Platforms, except that no other terrain object can overlap them. In the Course Maker, the player can extend or retract the bridge to a minimum of three tiles or a maximum of around twenty tiles. When placed, it is set to its shortest length by default. In the Super Mario World style in the Ground, Desert, Sky, Snow, and Forest themes, they look like log bridges. In any other theme of that style, they look like normal bridges. In the New Super Mario Bros. U style, bridges have many colors, but in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, every bridge is the same.
