The squares[1] are two pairs of platforms in Bowser in the Dark World in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Each of the pairs move in a counterclockwise cycle around a larger square rim; one of the level's Red Coins is located on the edge of the rim, requiring Mario to use the squares to reach it. The platforms themselves have a steel blue color in Super Mario 64, while they are gray in Super Mario 64 DS. Despite their name, they are actually octahedrons due to being composed of eight slanted triangles.
