Trapeze: Difference between revisions
Little revisions. Mentioning horizontal bars and Sunshine's swing in the opening paragraph. Integrated citation for Japanese name. While I believe the name is used in-game, I think the odds of the average English-speaking reader knowing that or verifying that on their own is not likely. I don't think it hurts to just have the citation there.

'''Trapezes''' | '''Trapezes''', originally known as '''swings''', are platforming objects in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are used to swing across [[pit]]s, similar to [[rope]]s seen in other ''Super Mario'' games. The player characters grips a trapeze's bar on contact. Flicking the control stick left and right causes the character to swing the trapeze and build momentum. Letting go at the apex propels the character farther than they would have otherwise. | ||
Trapezes are mechanically similar to [[wire|bar]]s and are comparable to the [[Swing (Super Mario Sunshine)|wooden swing]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. | |||

Swings (recognized as "trapezes" in the [[Prima Games]] guidebook)<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher Black|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2007|page=62}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2010|page=101, 103, 170, 212, 213}}</ref> are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They resemble a green bar with flowers at opposite ends, and are suspended by [[vine]]s. They only appear in [[Galaxy|galaxies]] with naturalistic terrain, starting with the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. The first one is near the player's starting position, suspended a little above ground. Falling from this swing is not detrimental to the player's progress. In "[[Trouble on the Tower]]", another trapeze occurs well above the ground and is needed to traverse between platforms. Slipping from this one does not make [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) lose a life, but it does necessitate climbing the tower again. Another swing appears in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]], hanging from a palm tree. Letting go at the highest arc of a swing rewards Mario with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] before falling into the [[water]]. In the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], a swing tosses Mario into a [[Sling Star]] needed to reach distant terrain. Another one suspended well above ground during "[[Purple Coins in the Woods]]" is required to reach two [[Purple Coin]]s. | |||
Swings function similarly to the [[vine]] in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, and even more so to the [[wire|horizontal bar]]s found in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. | |||
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''=== | |||
Swings return in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', retaining their floral design and function. They first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], which is on a 2D plane. Swings can be used to cross gaps, reach opposite walls to [[Wall Jump]] on, and refill [[Bee Mario]]'s flight meter. One subsequently appears in the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], where it is needed to reach the [[Honey Queen|Queen Bee]]. | |||
In a departure from previous appearances, a swing appears in the lava-themed [[Melty Monster Galaxy]], where letting go at the top of an arc brings Mario to a [[Launch Star]] needed for progression. When a [[Prankster Comet#Green Comet|Green Comet]] is in orbit, letting the Launch Star drop Mario awards him with a [[Green Star]]. | |||
