Balance Lifts make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are the main gimmick of [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]], [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]] and [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-3]]. The player is given 1,000 points if they break the lifts. They return in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', where they are more prevalent, being found in eight of the thirteen worlds. This time, they are made of mushrooms instead of metal. However, in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' remake, both games feature them in their metallic form. | Balance Lifts make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are the main gimmick of [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-3]], [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]] and [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-3]].

Filling the attached jug with water causes the platform to rise. The jug is cracked and slowly leaks water, causing the platform to lower. | |||

Scale | Scale Lifts appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their remake]]. They are common objects in [[Above the Cheep Cheep Seas]] and [[Scaling the Mountainside]] in the former, and also appear in [[Weighty Waddlewings]] in the latter. They work as they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. | ||

Scale Lifts appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', where they are known as '''Balance Beams'''. They only appear in [[Room 6-4]] and [[Room 6-7]] of [[Toadstool Castle]]. If a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] steps onto one of the Balance Beam's platforms, it lowers while the other platform rises. Two Mini Marios can remain on a platform at once. If both platforms have the same number of Mini Marios on them, they both move to a middle height. A Mini Mario remains on a Balance Beam's platform until it is swiped with the {{button|ds|Stylus}} [[stylus]] to change its direction. Unlike their appearances in other games, Balance Beams do not break. Balance Beams cannot be used in the [[Construction Zone]], as they do not appear in the Toadstool Castle construction kit. | |||

Scale Lifts also appear as stage elements in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]; they react to fighters' weights and drop or rise at appropriate speeds. They also reappear after breaking. One appears in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and another appears in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Another appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', as part of the [[Golden Plains]] stage, though it is only available if the stage has scrolled to the right side. Scale Lifts reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in Golden Plains and the original Mushroom Kingdom stage, where they act the same as they did in previous games. | Scale Lifts also appear as stage elements in the [[Super Smash Bros.
