Shrinking platform

Shrinking Tiles are tiles found in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. When Mario or Luigi step on them, they will immediately start to shrink. Eventually, the tile will disappear, leaving only the metal frame around it. Some planets are entirely made up of Shrinking Tiles. Shrinking Tile Planets are used for placing Music Notes all around the planet itself (making it hard for Mario to collect them all since the tiles quickly disappear). Shrinking Tiles are mostly used in areas where Mario must walk carefully to avoid falling, but the player must also go quicker to avoid falling through the tile itself. Shrinking Tiles can be found in several Galaxies, including Hurry-Scurry Galaxy, Sea Slide Galaxy, Toy Time Galaxy, and Mario Squared Galaxy.
