History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

Skull Raft from Super Mario World

Skull Rafts are objects in Super Mario World. They allow Mario and Luigi to travel across lava rivers. Blarggs sometimes appear on these paths to try and attack the player character, requiring them to jump before landing back onto the Skull Raft safely. They appear only in Vanilla Dome 3 and Vanilla Dome 4.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Skull Rafts, now known as Lava Lifts, are objects in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. This appearance is different than in Super Mario World. They are able to move in the air on top of moving in lava. Skull Rafts can be used in all four styles, featuring new sprites for the Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3 designs, and a 2.5D model for New Super Mario Bros. U. A faster blue variant also exists, and it does not fall off the screen after a couple seconds. The rafts are generally used to follow tracks.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS names the blue version a Fast Lava Lift. World 18-6 in the Super Mario Challenge is centered around riding Fast Lava Lifts, with a Goomba Challenge Medal available if the player does ten ground pounds onto Fast Lava Lifts before they reach the Goal Pole.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Lava Lifts are objects in Super Mario Maker 2.

Super Mario World television series[edit]

Skull Raft

A Skull Raft appears in the episode "Mama Luigi" of the Super Mario World television series. Here, it shows that the Skull Raft is made of both wood and skulls, not just skulls like in the video game. In Luigi's story, he gets attacked by a Fire Sumo and falls into the Lava Pits. However, he lands on a Skull Raft, which saves his life. However, the raft approaches a lava waterfall, and the two fall down. At the bottom, the Skull Raft floats away from the ground that Luigi lands on.
