'''Platforms''' are [[stage]] features that make up the [[floor]] upon which characters may stand and objects may land, which usually take the form of floating islands. There are four distinct types of platforms: hard, semisoft, soft, and supersoft, each of which differs in its tolerance of the vertical movement of characters and objects through it. Platforms sometimes accommodate [[ledge]]s from which characters can hang, and may also incorporate slopes, movement, hazards, and destructible and interactive features. Some [[boss]]es are also platforms, and characters can stand upon them. The appearance of platforms ranges from simple or abstract polygonal solids and flat planks, to recognisable objects such as buildings, ships and creatures. Items can land upon platforms, and some, such as the [[Hothead]] and [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]], interact with them. Most versus stages involve a large, central, hard or semisoft platform with ledges that may be grabbed, and additional, smaller platforms elsewhere.  [[Stage Builder]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' offers a variety of platforms, some [[unlockable]], that can be arranged and customized by players, and {{forwiiu}} allows players to draw platforms of different shapes with the Wii U's [[GamePad]].
