'''Shrinking Tiles''' are tiles with a checkerboard-like design found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] step on them, they will immediately start to shrink. Eventually, the tile will disappear, leaving only the metal frame around it. Some planets are entirely made up of Shrinking Tiles. Shrinking Tile Planets are used for placing [[Rainbow Note]]s all around the planet itself (making it hard for Mario to collect them all since the tiles quickly disappear). Shrinking Tiles are mostly used in areas where Mario must walk carefully to avoid falling, but the player must also go quicker to avoid falling through the tile itself. Player 2 can help in Co-star Mode by freezing the tile after Mario has stepped on it; however, the tile will start to shrink once Player 2 lets go. Shrinking Tiles can be found in several Galaxies, including Hurry-Scurry Galaxy, [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], [[Toy Time Galaxy]], and [[Mario Squared Galaxy]].

Shrinking platforms[1][2] are platforms with a green checkerboard-like design found in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. When Mario or Luigi steps on one, it immediately begins to shrink. Eventually, the platform disappears, leaving only the metal frame around it. Shrinking platforms are mostly used in areas where Mario or Luigi must walk carefully to avoid falling but quickly enough to avoid falling through. Some planets are entirely made up of shrinking platforms. The objective of these planets is to collect all of the notes around the planets themselves before all of the shrinking platforms disappear. Player 2 can help in Co-Star Mode by freezing a platform after Mario or Luigi has stepped on it, though the platform starts to shrink once Player 2 lets go. Shrinking platforms can be found in several galaxies, including the Hurry-Scurry Galaxy, the Sea Slide Galaxy, the Toy Time Galaxy, and Mario Squared Galaxy.

Shrinking platforms in Galaxy Rally

Shrinking platforms appear in the Special Game called Galaxy Rally in Mario Tennis Open. Four of them of equal size compose the court. After the ball bounces on a platform, it disappears, making that section temporarily out of play. However, if the ball bounces on another platform, that platform disappears while the previous one reappears. The number of platforms missing from the court can go from one to three as the game progresses.
