====''Donkey Kong''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', two sets of lifts appear in [[75m]]: one set going up, the other set going down. Lifts appear to work via a chain-like mechanism. When an elevator reaches the end of its path, it disappears, and a new one appears at the beginning of the path, as opposed to a single elevator going up and down.

Lifts also appear in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''. Levers can be pulled in certain levels to make them change direction.

====''Donkey Kong Country''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', many elevators are in the latter half of [[Elevator Antics]]. They either move up or down from a steel pole. The elevator lifts appear to be filled with coal.
 
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
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 [[Game Boy Advance]] version, they also appear in [[Dingy Drain-Pipe]].

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', lifts are made of wood, much like [[Hard Block]]s in the game. Two new varieties are introduced: '''Rail Lifts''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 19.</ref> which travel along a track, first appearing in [[World 1-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-6]], and moving Flimsy Lifts, which fall all the way to the bottom of the screen as soon as Mario or Luigi lands on one, first appearing in [[World 1-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-4]]. In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''Super Mario Bros.''-styled metallic lifts of various types are found in the [[World-e]] levels [[Wild Ride in the Sky]], [[Caped Escape]], [[Koopaling Confusion]], [[Classic World 1-2]], [[Classic World 1-3]] and [[Classic World 1-4]], while several stationary lifts in their ''Super Mario World'' design can be seen in the level [[Rich with Ropes]]. In [[A Towering Tour]], some fast-moving gray-colored lifts also appear. They behave similarly to the metal lifts, only being shaped like the normal lifts, and the aforementioned color difference. They also follow a shorter path compared to normal lifts, which adds to the difficulty of staying on top of them. These blocks also have a line-guided variant, which move even faster than their non-line-guided variants.

An orange, diagonal-facing lift with a grassy top is known as a [[diagonal platform]], and a thicker, upright grassy platform with a countdown timer in the middle is known as a [[Count-Lift]]. Additionally, a mushroom variant of the Balance Lift is known as a [[Piston Lift]].

Most lifts in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' have a tan-and-green checkerboard pattern on them. In some courses, such as [[Whomp's Fortress]] and [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], pairs of lifts move along and rotate around both sides of a vertical beam, flipping when they reach the top. In the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and [[Lethal Lava Land]], lifts move along chains of black spheres when stepped upon. Additionally in the Hazy Maze Cave, large orange lifts with yellow and black trim appear to take the player between floors, and a unique controllable lift called the [[Work Elevator]] appears in one part of the course. Special lifts called [[Arrow Lift (Super Mario 64)|Arrow Lift]]s appear in [[Wet-Dry World]], moving back and forth when stepped upon. Also in Wet-Dry World, an '''Express Elevator''' appears embedded into some metal mesh. Stepping on the portion outside the mesh causes it to lower, at which point the player has a limited time to reach the portion inside the mesh and ride it to a [[Power Star]]. In [[Tick Tock Clock]], yellow rectangular lifts move up and down, the speed and direction varies depending on the time Mario enters the course.

In the [[Tostarena Ruins]] in the [[Sand Kingdom]], large stone ones depicting the [[Inverted Pyramid]] appear above a canyon after Mario collects the [[Power Moon]] for the mission [[Atop the Highest Tower]] and move along a [[track]] after he steps on them. These lifts transport Mario to [[Moe-Eye Habitat]], which features smaller stone lifts that Mario must use to collect [[Moon Shard]]s. Larger versions of these stone lifts appear in the sub-area with the Power Moon for the sidequest [[List of Power Moons in the Sand Kingdom#Jaxi Driver|Jaxi Driver]]. The Inverted Pyramid lifts also appear in the Ice Cave sub-area, except they are darker-colored and topped with ice. Unlike other lifts, these ones rotate while moving.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], lifts also appear in [[Dingy Drain-Pipe]].
===''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. 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 both instances, they are activated temporarily by flipping a switch. On the first stage, the Flatbed Ferry revolves around a point, similarly to a paddle wheel, and makes four 90-degree turns before completing one rotation. On the second stage, the platform swings from side to side on a chain in three positions. Flatbed Ferries are replaced in the ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' version by more thematically fitting platforms.

==Special types of lifts==
==List of lifts==
Lifts are the basis for many other platforms in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. For many of them, this is apparent with the inclusion of {{hover|リフト|Rifuto}} ("Lift") in their Japanese name, which is not always carried over during localization. Most derived lifts are suspended in the air and move, either on their own or when a player character steps on them.
