'''Cogs''' (also known as '''gears''') are obstacles in some ''Mario'' platformers. They have the ability to push the player off if one tries to climb one.  

Cogs appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' in [[Mecha Castle]]. They are wooden and can only make a Yoshi lose a life if the player rushes to two of them and they are spinning towards each other.

Cogs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' in [[Mr. Geary's Factory]], behaving as they do in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. Additionally, an animate cog known as [[Mr. Geary]] is fought at the end of said level.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', cogs can be found in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. If the player remains under one, they are squished and lose a life. The player is required to platform across them to reach the boss door. Additionally, cog-like wheels can be found in {{world-link|6|airship|World 6-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}.

''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' brings back cogs in [[Crushing-Cogs Tower]]. They serve as platforms so the player can reach the top of the tower to fight [[Boom Boom]].

Cogs reappear in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' expansion, ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', in Crushing-Cogs Tower's equivalent, [[Flame-Gear Tower]], and [[Hot Cogs]].
