Rotating bars[1] are thin platforms from Super Mario 64. They are only found fastened to the internal walls of Tick Tock Clock, near Mario's starting position in the course. Eight Red Coins are scattered among the rotating bars, making them necessary to navigate for the mission "Stop Time for Red Coins".

Rotating bars are among the many platforms within Tick Tock Clock that rotate, moving clockwise. This makes them difficult to navigate without falling off. However, the clock face used to access Tick Tock Clock has moving hands that inform the speed of platforms when Mario enters the face. If the minute hand is on twelve when Mario enters the course, the rotating bars are motionless and parallel with the floor.
