Girder
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Girders are platforms found in a handful of games.
History
Donkey Kong / Donkey Kong (Game Boy)
Girders first appear in Donkey Kong and its remake, appearing in practically every stage, most notably in 25m. In both games, they act essentially as a semi-solid platform that Mario can walk on.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong series
Girders appear in every single Mario vs. Donkey Kong game. In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, they act as a semi-solid platform much like Donkey Kong. They also appear in all subsequent games and behave in the same manner for the Minis. Additionally, a special type of Girder called a Red Girder can be drawn from red blocks with screws in them.
Super Mario Odyssey
Girders appear in Super Mario Odyssey, where they are found as common platforms found throughout the Metro Kingdom. They do not act as semi-solid platforms in this game, but items such as Coins and Power Moons can be found inside some of them.
Other appearances and references
In the manual for Donkey Kong 64, Cranky Kong hopes that a level design he submitted, "Girder Grapple," made it into the game, referencing him being the original Donkey Kong from the arcade game. While this level doesn't appear, the original game can be played in an arcade cabinet found in Frantic Factory.
