'''Platforms''' are obstacles in almost every adventure video game, including the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. They are physical objects that the player jumps across to get through levels or discover secrets. Mainly in side-scrollers, the player can jump up through the bottoms of some platforms (and in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''{{'}} case, drop through the tops as well), which can't be done in tridimensional games. Platforms often have gimmicky traits, such as moving. These are sometimes referred to as [[Lift]]s.

Some platforms in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' are yarn frames that require a [[yarn ball]] to be thrown at them to become solid.
