Pendulum Platform

Pendulum Platforms are a type of object which appear in the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series. They first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Description[]

Pendulum Platforms almost exclusively appear within castle and tower levels. They hang from the ceiling, where they swing back and forth like a pendulum, as their name suggests. Mario or another playable character often has to wait for a Pendulum Platform to sway completely to one side before he can continue to another platform either above or to the right of him.
