Count-Lift
Count-Lifts[1] (or Countdown Platforms[2]) are a type of lift appearing in Super Mario World. They have a grassy top and a dirt-like bottom. Each Count-Lift has a countdown timer in the middle. Count-Lifts appear in only one level: Valley of Bowser 3. When Mario or Luigi jumps onto a Count-Lift, it moves in a straight line to the right while counting down. When the timer reaches zero, the lift drops off. Most Count-Lifts last for only one second, but some last for four seconds.
A Count-Lift also appears in the Modern version of Turtle Bridge from Game & Watch Gallery 3. When Toad accumulates 300 points, the platform below the Cloud Blocks turns into a three-second Count-Lift. Unlike in Super Mario World, the Count-Lift is pink and does not move to the right while counting down, and it activates on its own rather than when Toad lands on it. It reappears shortly after it falls. If Toad jumps onto or stays on the Count-Lift as it falls, he will lose a life. At 600 points, the Count-Lift turns into two Donut Blocks.
