'''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]].

Though not in the game, the [[Pinna Park#Pirate Ships|Pirate Ships]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' serve a similar function. A [[:File:SMO Cascade Moon 37.png|similar lift]] appears in one of the subareas in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
Though not in the game, the [[Pinna Park#Pirate Ships|Pirate Ships]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' function similarly.

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 course that includes swings are [[Spike's Lost City]] and [[Champion's Road]]. They otherwise appear in [[Mystery House Mad Dash]] and [[Mystery House Marathon]].

===''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.
