Floors, also referred to as platforms,[1] are objects that debut in Mario Bros. and reappear uncommonly in the Super Mario series.

History

Mario Bros.

Mario Bros.

Floors first appear in all releases of Mario Bros. as the main platform of the game. While they act as normal platforms when the player stands on them, the player can also bump them from below to stun enemies and collect coins on the place where the platform was bumped. Their appearance changes depending on the phase, and there are also slippery and invisible versions.

Floors reprise their roles in the various in-game ports of Mario Bros., including Super Mario Bros. 3, the Super Mario Advance games, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and the game Luigi Bros. in Super Mario 3D World.

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros.

Floors reappear in New Super Mario Bros., behaving the same as in their debut game. They appear in World 2-2 and World 8-6.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Floors return in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, behaving the same as in past appearances. They appear in Screwtop Tower, Shifting-Floor Cave, and World Coin-2 in the former game and in Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower in the latter game.

Floors reprise the aforementioned roles in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Floors first appear in the Super Smash Bros. series in the Mario Bros. stage, where they function the same as in the original arcade game. Bumping the platform while an opponent is on top bumps them into the air with no damage taken.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, floors return in the Mario Bros. stage and function the same as before.
