Floors, also called platforms,[1] are the blue platforms in the Mario Bros. arcade game and its various ports. They have subsequently appeared in contexts alluding to Mario Bros. in the franchise, as well as an independent platform in the mainline Super Mario series. Player characters can jump into floors from below to bend or dislodge individual segments, stunning or defeating any enemy standing on top. The gameplay mechanic of these floors has subsequently become incorporated into other games in the franchise and has become a stable of their platformers, most notably through ? Blocks and Brick Blocks.

History

Mario Bros.

Mario Bros.
Screenshot of Mario Bros.

Floors appear as the main platforms used in Mario Bros. While they function as normal platforms when the player stands on them, the player can also bump them from below to stun enemies and collect coins on the place where the platform was bumped. Their appearance changes depending on the phase, and there are also slippery and invisible versions.

Floors reprise their roles in the various in-game ports of Mario Bros., including the battle mode in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Battle Game in Super Mario All-Stars, the remake in the Super Mario Advance games and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and the game Luigi Bros. in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port.

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros.

Floors reappear in New Super Mario Bros., behaving the same as in their debut game. They appear in World 2-2 and World 8-6.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Red and white platforms[2] return in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their enhanced port. They are the same as before. Red and white platforms appear in Screwtop Tower, Shifting-Floor Cave, and World Coin-2 in New Super Mario Bros. U and in Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower in New Super Luigi U.

Super Smash Bros. series

Floors appear in the Super Smash Bros. series in the Mario Bros. stage introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They function the same as in the original arcade game. Bumping the platform while an opponent is on top bumps them into the air with no damage taken.
