'''Wobble Rocks''' are a type of rock platform originating from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They wobble from left to right when the player stands towards one of its edges.
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
'''Rolling rocks''',<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 98. "''This rolling rock is barely balanced on a precipitous peak (just like his name, Raphael the Raven likes pairing together words that sound the same). Step quickly across the boulder before it tumbles down the mountain. As long as you don’t linger on the rock to admire the view, you’ll be just fine.''" ('''BALANCING ACT''')</ref> also referred to as '''crumbling ledges''',<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide. Page 97. "''Jump from the last, crumbling ledge then right the Flatbed Ferries up to a door. Be wary of Goonies in flight.''" ('''Things Are Looking Up''')</ref> first appear in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They are rock platforms balancing on the tip of a pillar, and when one is landed on, it begins weighing over to the side it was landed on, eventually falling over. Only one appears each at the start of [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]] and [[Kamek's Revenge]], after a sequence of similar-looking pillars outside.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====

A few Wobble Rocks appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', specifically in certain areas in the level [[Cruise the Clouds]]. They behave the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series, but come in two sizes.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Rolling rocks return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', behaving the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They only appear in [[World 8-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-5]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
'''Half-circle rocks'''<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 152. "''The half-circle rocks are precariously balanced on thin rocks. If you stand near either side, the rocks will give way and begin to topple in your direction. Remember this as you’re jumping across them to avoid falling into the lava.''"</ref> reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', behaving the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though they can now be re-balanced by standing on the side opposite where they were weighted down. They only appear in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Wobble Rocks appear yet again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Their behavior is largely unchanged from its past appearances. They appear only in the level [[Walking Piranha Plants!]], though they also play major roles in the challenges [[Balancing Act (challenge)|Balancing Act]] and [[Wobble and Rock]]. Wobble Rocks are among the few objects that do not return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
Teetering platforms similar to Wobble Rocks appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' in [[Crumble Cavern]], where they are constantly pushed from left to right by periodically overfalling streams of water.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a giant Wobble Rock comprises the [[Rock-Candy Mines]] portion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage.
