===Soft platforms===
'''Soft platforms''', also known as pass-through or fall-through platforms, are thin platforms that characters, projectiles and items can pass through upwards, and that characters may also pass through downwards. Most soft platforms do not have [[ledge]]s that characters may hang from, although there are exceptions, such as the upper platforms of [[Norfair]]. While standing on a soft platform, a character may fall down through it by tapping down on the [[control stick]]. Airborne characters may pass through a soft platform from above by holding down on the control stick as they approach it.

While standing on a soft platform, a character may fall down through it by tapping down on the [[control stick]]. Airborne characters may pass through a soft platform from above by holding down on the control stick as they approach it, though in ''SSB'' this can only be done when the character is [[helpless]].  


All airborne items and projectiles, including Pikachu's [[Thunder]], will travel upward through soft platforms, but will not travel downward through them. The same is true of [[tumble|tumbling]] and reeling characters, who will fly upward through soft platforms, but will land in a [[floor recovery|lying position]] upon a soft platform if they contact it from above. When used under a soft platform, certain [[special move]]s, such as Ike's [[Aether]] and Yoshi's grounded [[Yoshi Bomb]], may send their performers upward through the platform during the rising portion of the move, and then downward onto the platform during the falling portion. This is also the case with Kirby and Meta Knight's [[up throw]]s; both the grabber and the victim will rise through soft platforms, but "crash land" onto them during the falling part of the move. Characters performing aerial attacks, including [[stall-then-fall]] maneuvers, may not pass down through soft platforms if they are in a position to land upon them. An exception is Fox, Falco and Wolf's [[up special]] moves when used in the air - these will pass down through soft platforms when directed at a downward angle.
