Floating barrels[1] are lifts that float on the surface of water in the Super Mario series. They function like large buoys and slowly sink under the surface when stood on by player characters, but rise back up once they hop off.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Floating barrels debut in New Super Mario Bros., appearing in the waters of World 3-A and World 8-2. They slowly sink when Mario (or Luigi) is on top of them unless he is in his Mini form. Red Koopa Troopas occur on the tops of some floating barrels and do not weigh them down. The barrels always occur in the same waters as bomb-dropping Skeeters. In World 8-3, a ? Switch causes the water level to rise and it carries the barrels with them.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, floating barrels occur only in World 4-2, a course filled with Cheep Cheeps. The first Star Coin of the course is above a floating barrel, and Hidden Coins can be collected above several of them. Unlike the smaller barrels in the game that the player character can carry, the large floating barrels has four hoops instead of three, just like the ones in the first New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Floating barrels in New Super Mario Bros. 2 appear as sinkable platforms in the waters of the beach-themed World 3-1, functioning identically as they did in their predecessors. The third Star Coin is found below a barrel, which must be stood on to sink deep enough in order to collect.
