A Flying Platform is a type of lift which appears in Super Mario World.
Description[]
A Flying Platform is made up of three gray blocks that resemble a Rotating Block or a Grab Block and a pair of wings. Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers ride on a Flying Platform except these are made of two blocks.
In Super Mario series[]
Super Mario World[]
Two Flying Platforms appear in the Forest Secret Area. When Mario or Luigi jumps onto one of them, they begin moving to the right, both ascending and descending alternately. A Flying Platform can take Mario or Luigi all the way over to the Giant Gate.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[]
There is only one Flying Platform, which is ridden by the only Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother of Slip Slidin' Away, let alone the game.
Super Mario Maker subseries[]
While the Flying Platforms from Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers do not appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2, the player can still produce Flying Platforms by attaching wings to them, causing the platform to sway back and forth similarly to those ridden by an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother. If the platform is unstable, it will slowly fall when stepped on.
In Super Princess Peach[]
Flying Platforms retain their purpose of being ridden by Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brothers.
In other media[]
Super Mario-kun[]
A Flying Platform is used by an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother in the first volume. It is made of two blocks, except both have personalities and talk. They are friends with the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother, but when he orders them to take him to Bowser's Castle with Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi trapped in a giant hammer, the two blocks, unable to bear the weight and unsatisfied with the treatment, separate, dropping Hammer Bro and the hammer. The two blocks and the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother then fight each other, until they notice that Mario, Luigi and Yoshi have escaped from the hammer.
