History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

Skull Raft from Super Mario World
A Skull Raft in Super Mario World

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

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

Skull Rafts, now known as Lava Lifts, reappear in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. This appearance is different than in Super Mario World. They are able to move in air on top of moving in lava. They can be used in all four styles, featuring new sprites for Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, and a 2.5D model for New Super Mario Bros. U. A faster blue variant also exists, and it will not fall off the screen after a couple seconds. The rafts are generally used to follow tracks.

Super Mario Maker 2

Lava Lifts return in Super Mario Maker 2, where the blue ones are now referred to as Fast Lava Lifts.
