'''Swings''' are [[lift]]s in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. One resembles a flat, broad platform attached to an unmoving pivot point swinging back and forth. Unlike similar platforms like [[Single Swing Lift]]s or [[Paddle Platform]]s, swings move regardless of whether any player character has touched it, like a [[pendulum]]. | '''Swings''' are [[lift]]s in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

Though not in the game, the [[Pinna Park#Pirate Ships|Pirate Ships]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' function similarly. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS remake]], two swings appear in [[Rainbow Ride]], towards the southwest. They are prominent fixtures in the [[mission]] "[[Swingin' in the Breeze]]", where [[Mario]] must use them, a [[Seesaw|seesaw]], and [[Donut Block|Falling Block]]s to reach the [[Power Star]]. The first swing moves over solid ground that catches Mario if he falls off. The second, higher swing needed to reach the Star is positioned away from solid ground, [[Pit|above the clouds]]. | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS remake]], two swings<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|date=1996|title=''The Super Mario 64 Player's Guide''|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|location=Redmond|page=122}}</ref> appear in [[Rainbow Ride]], towards the southwest.

Large, broad swings make their only appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in {{world-link|4|castlen|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, moving back and forth over [[lava]]. They are the primary platforms needed to reach the boss [[Mega Goomba]]. | Large, broad swings make their only appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in {{world-link|4|castlen|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, moving back and forth over [[lava]].

The swings in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' have even broader platforms than prior appearances. They only appear in {{world-link|6|castle|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, swingining above a sea of [[lava]] in a course that leads to [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] These swings sweep through the lava, necessitating that the player keep moving. The similar-looking [[Pendulum Platform]] debuts in this game and has a comparable function, but it is suspended by chains and is a proportionately narrower lift. | The swings in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Nintendo Switch remake]], [[spiked roller]]s appear on some swings that roll as the platform sways. They have concave edges to keep them from rolling off their side, just like the circus-themed [[seesaw]]s in the game. The only conventional courses that include swings are [[Spike's Lost City]] and [[Champion's Road]]. They otherwise appear in [[Mystery House Mad Dash]] and [[Mystery House Marathon]]. | |||
In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'', swings are explicitly {{wp|Lumpers and splitters|lumped}} with [[lift]]s in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' section.<ref name=sakai>{{cite|author=Sakai, Kazuya (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara (Shogakukan), editors|title="Super Mario 3D World."『[[Super Mario Bros.

===''Super Mario Odyssey''=== | |||
An otherworldly subarea in [[Cascade Kingdom|Fossil Falls]] has swings suspended between other platforms, swaying over [[pit|empty space]]. [[Mario]] must utilize them and the [[Mysterious Cloud]]s to obtain the [[List of Power Moons in the Cascade Kingdom|thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth Power Moons]] in the Cascade Kingdom. This is the only location with swings in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. As with other platforms in these types of subareas, they resemble geometric, plastic blocks. | |||
