In Yoshi's Woolly World, mobiles appear as the main gimmick of Wobble Mobile Jaunt. They are mainly used as platforms for Yoshi to stand on. They can also be used to transport Ruffin' Tumbles, and Shy Guys sometimes stand on them. Five different toys may hang from mobiles, all of which function as platforms: a star, the sun, the Earth, a crescent moon, and a rocket.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, one mobile with a rocket on one thread and two cloud platforms on the other appears on the Woolly World stage, functioning as a platform like it does in Yoshi's Woolly World. Three additional cloud platforms suspended by strings also appear in the stage, but these are not connected to a mobile. The mobile and cloud platforms start slightly above the ground in an area based on World 1, but periodically rise into the sky, becoming the stage's only platforms, and eventually reach an area based on World 3, where they resume being suspended slightly above the ground, repeating the cycle.
Mobiles reappear in the course Stitched Together in Yoshi's Crafted World, where they are much larger than in their Yoshi's Woolly World appearance. The toys on the mobiles are now based on a rainbow and a white flower, but the crescent moon toy also reappears as a platform in the level.
