In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', lifts consist of wooden planks. Some are activated when [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] ride them, and some are activated automatically. They are found primarily in mills, but  also appear in [[Fire-Ball Frenzy]] and [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]]. Additionally, a single horizontally moving lift appears during the first boss fight with [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Baron K. Roolenstein]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], lifts also appear in [[Dingy Drain-Pipe]].

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
Flatbed Ferries, a special kind of lift, appear in every game of the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series, as well as ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. When [[jump]]ed upon, they typically follow a preset path marked by a [[track]]. When a Flatbed Ferry reaches the end of the line, blocked by a little red sphere, it switches its direction of movement; if the line ends without a sphere, the Flatbed Ferry falls down, but it may be "caught" by another track if it falls on one, and it starts following it.

Flatbed Ferries appear in a variety of colors, such as green, yellow, and red, with each getting progressively faster; in the isometric sections found in certain [[fortress]]es, the colors are a pale pink, periwinkle, and cyan. Magenta ones appear as part of [[Paddle Platform|paddle wheel]]s. The [[liquid lift]] and [[Blarggwich]] carry green Flatbed Ferries.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the level [[Rail Lift]] features lifts in the form of smiling cloud platforms that move along tracks. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Baby Yoshi]] hits a switch present along the tracks by throwing an [[egg]], the cloud platform can move to different tracks.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', lifts from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' appear as platforms in the auto-scrolling [[3D Land]] stage. The match begins on three stationary lifts. During the second portion, players fight on four multi-colored lifts as they transition them to the third portion of the stage; on the way there, some platforms may collide into protruding rocks, altering their angle. In [[PictoChat 2]], one of the drawings that may appear is a row of blocks between a pair of continuously moving lifts from World 1-2 of ''Super Mario Bros.''
