Screwtop Lifts first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they move in a set direction when spun on. They have a screw on them which needs to be spun to activate the platform and make it move. The direction that they spin in is represented by a [[Track (object)|track]] which symbolizes its movement path. They slowly spin back in the direction they came from when the player is not on them. They only appear in {{world-link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where they appear throughout the level.
Screwtop Lifts, named for the screw mounted in their center, first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', albeit in just one level, {{world-link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. Like certain platforms, these ones are mounted on [[tracks]], though they do not travel on their own by default. If the player does a [[Spin Jump]] on the screw of the platform, they do not leap off, but instead spin in place, quickly moving the platform along its track as long as the player is spinning. When not moved by the player, the Screwtop Lift slowly returns to its original position. Similar screws are also seen mounted, not on platforms, but in the airship's floor, used to temporarily extend, retract, or otherwise reposition certain elements in the airship, mostly large metal blocks, but also the level's third [[Star Coin]].

Screwtop Lifts return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', exhibiting the exact same behavior as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They appear in [[Screwtop Tower]] in the former and in [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]] in the latter. They also reprise the former role in the challenge [[Screwtop It Up]].
Screwtop Lifts return with the same role and behavior in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' level [[Screwtop Tower]], which features nine of them, as well as the 20th and final Time Attack [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|challenge]] of the game, [[Screwtop It Up]], which requires the player to beat Screwtop Tower (with the first section and the boss fight removed) in, at most, 90 (bronze), 75 (silver), or 65 (gold) seconds. Screwtop Lifts also appear in the ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' level [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]] (the game's equivalent of Screwtop Tower), which features five Screwtop Lifts, with the second having [[Fire Bar]]s mounted on either end of its track, and the third possessing Fire Bars on the middle and upper end of its track.
 
Screwtop Lifts reprise the aformentioned roles in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.

Screwtop Lifts[1][2] (also referred to as Screwtop Platforms)[3] are a type of lift found in the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Screwtop Lifts, named for the screw mounted in their center, first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, albeit in just one level, World 8-Airship. Like certain platforms, these ones are mounted on tracks, though they do not travel on their own by default. If the player does a Spin Jump on the screw of the platform, they do not leap off, but instead spin in place, quickly moving the platform along its track as long as the player is spinning. When not moved by the player, the Screwtop Lift slowly returns to its original position. Similar screws are also seen mounted, not on platforms, but in the airship's floor, used to temporarily extend, retract, or otherwise reposition certain elements in the airship, mostly large metal blocks, but also the level's third Star Coin.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Screwtop Lifts return with the same role and behavior in the New Super Mario Bros. U level Screwtop Tower, which features nine of them, as well as the 20th and final Time Attack challenge of the game, Screwtop It Up, which requires the player to beat Screwtop Tower (with the first section and the boss fight removed) in, at most, 90 (bronze), 75 (silver), or 65 (gold) seconds. Screwtop Lifts also appear in the New Super Luigi U level Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower (the game's equivalent of Screwtop Tower), which features five Screwtop Lifts, with the second having Fire Bars mounted on either end of its track, and the third possessing Fire Bars on the middle and upper end of its track.
