A '''Paddle Platform'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 146.</ref> (formerly known as a '''paddle wheel''')<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 122. "'''''PADDLE WHEEL''' Red ones spin in place, while green ones move across the screen. The trick to getting a paddle wheel to spin is to jump straight up. When you land on the next platform, your weight will cause the wheel to spin. You'll find lots of opportunities to practice, because these dino-movers are found throughout Yoshi's Island.''"</ref> is a round [[platform]] made up of four smaller platforms that typically move on [[track]]s (similar to [[Flatbed Ferry|Flatbed Ferries]]), appearing in numerous 2D platformers in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' and ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchises. Some Paddle Platforms, particularly those of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, strictly move left and right, while others travel along paths or have a stationary pivot point. Either way, the player must walk on the platforms to make them start spinning.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

Paddle wheels make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]; while big ones first appear in the level [[Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts]] and then appear occasionally afterwards, small ones appear in [[Prince Froggy's Fort]], [[More Monkey Madness]], and [[Danger - Icy Conditions Ahead]]. While big paddle wheels are green in color, small ones are magenta in color.

Paddle wheels make their debut in the ''Mario'' franchise in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', appearing in [[World 4-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-A]] and [[World 7-7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-7]]. They behave the same as they do in the ''Yoshi'' franchise, although some move on [[poison (obstacle)|poison]] rather than tracks, and one can be shown falling off a track without an end point. A large, automatic counterclockwise-spinning version appears in {{world-link|2|towern|World 2-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.
