Variant of Lift

Arrow lifts[1] are a type of lift in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. U, and New Super Luigi U. An arrow lift is initially stationary and has a blue surface. When it is weighed down, such as by a player character, enemy, item, or fallen coin or Star Coin, the arrow lift turns red and starts moving in a certain direction. When fully vacated, it moves back to its starting position at a slower speed.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, all arrow lifts move downward when activated. Additionally, the arrow displayed on the lift matches which direction it is currently moving, so a stationary arrow lift is blank. From New Super Mario Bros. U onwards, arrow lifts appear that move in the other cardinal directions, so, when stationary, each arrow lift indicates the direction it will move. They now also play small chromatic sounds when activated and cleared.

Arrow lifts appear in World 9-2 and World 9-4 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They reappear as the main mechanic and means of transportation in Switchback Hill in New Super Mario Bros. U, and in Rainbow Skywalk in New Super Luigi U (both courses labeled Meringue Clouds-3).

While arrow lifts do not appear directly in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, or Super Mario Maker 2, their activation sound is reused in Course Maker when the player sets the direction of certain parts such as Warp Pipes, Cannons, Checkpoint Flags, and Banzai Bills.
