Rising/Falling Ceilings[1] are platforms that appear only in World 6-
Castle in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Each of them has a blue downward arrow on it. They are located at regular intervals, and together with Spike Traps, they form the ceiling of part of the level.
Rising/Falling Ceilings follow a synchronized cycle, being stationary for approximately four seconds, lowering for around half a second, being stationary for approximately half a second again, and finally rising back to their original locations for around half a second. When Rising/Falling Ceilings are lowered, Spike Balls initially stuck above the ceiling drop onto the ground. Around half a second before Rising/Falling Ceilings lower, their arrows light up, visually indicating to the player that the platforms are about to move downwards.
