They are found on the ground in different stages in the SSE, such as [[The Jungle|jungle]] areas, [[The Cave|cave]] areas, and even inside buildings and [[Subspace Bomb Factory|factories]], and are about the size of the [[character]].

Slide Launchers can serve both helpful and harmful purposes. They are sometimes situated where there is a large gap, and the player can use the launchers to make it across the gap with ease. They also guide the player to where he or she needs to go, especially in [[The Great Maze]]. However, some Slide Launchers launch players into harm's way. In [[The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)|The Subspace Bomb Factory II]], there is one that launches the player into jets of fire. Unless the player hits a switch to deactivate the fire, then the launcher can be used safely. Others sometimes launch characters into [[Jyk]]s, especially in [[The Swamp]]. In this level, there are launchers that shoot the player off of the stage and near the [[blast line]]. Depending on the [[difficulty]], launchers can propel the character slowly or they can propel the character very quickly and farther of a distance. On the higher difficulties, some of the launchers are used as obstacles to throw the character off balance or off course. On the easier difficulties, it is possible to jump off the launcher before it activates. | Slide Launchers can serve both helpful and harmful purposes.
