Variant of Crate

Floating crates[1] are a type of platform appearing in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. They are large indestructible wooden crates that float in water, sinking when Mario or an enemy stands on them or a snowball rolls across them. Once jumped off or the enemy or snowball is removed, the floating crate returns to its place. Floating Crates appear throughout the New Super Mario Bros. U level Fliprus Lake, its New Super Luigi U counterpart Fliprus Floes, and the Time Attack Challenge Fliprus Crossing.
