Touchstones (also referred to as Touch Screen Platforms[1] and rainbow-colored blocks[2]) are objects in Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (including both of its ports). These movable platforms can be activated by using the Wii U GamePad, the touchscreen of the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, the 
button while using dual Joy-Con or a Pro Controller, or the 
button while using single Joy-Con, as all of these methods summon the touch cursor. Tapping a Touchstone with the touch cursor causes it to move to a set position until it is touched a second time or the timer expires, which makes it return to its original state.
In Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Touchstones also revert after a short time has passed. They are mainly purple and appear rarely, found only in Puffprod Peaks, Captain Toad Plays Peek-a-Boo, and Captain Toad's Fiery Finale. In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Touchstones can be found in various colors and shapes and are more common, making their debut in the third level, Touchstone Trouble.
Touchstones appear in the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker microgame of WarioWare: Get It Together! In the microgame, the player must push one of the Touchstones to create a slope for Captain Toad to walk on, which leads to a Power Star. If the player pushes the wrong Touchstone, Captain Toad will be blocked, preventing him from obtaining the Power Star.
