Rolling logs[1][2][3][4] (also formatted as Rolling Logs)[5] are wooden platforms in the Super Mario franchise that rotate while being moved on.
History
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
Rolling logs in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS are cylindrical wooden platforms that, when stood on, roll over. The player must run along them or jump carefully to avoid falling off until they reach their destination on a set path. When the rolling logs are not stood on, they begin to roll back to their original positions. One appears in Lethal Lava Land and is the focus of the mission Red-Hot Log Rolling, and another is on Tall, Tall Mountain.
New Super Mario Bros.
Rolling logs in New Super Mario Bros. are stationary platforms with a purpose to eventually drop the player character off of them if stood on long enough. Rolling logs appear only in the underground sections of World 6-3.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Rolling logs in New Super Mario Bros. Wii function identically as in New Super Mario Bros., though they have a slightly different color and now produce creaking noises when stood on. They appear only in World 5-3.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
Rolling logs in New Super Mario Bros. U and its remake function similarly as before and appear only in Bridge over Poisoned Waters, though they reprise their role in the challenge Poison-Swamp Scramble. Rolling logs do not return in New Super Luigi U.
