*'''Uneven ground''' - Some platforms are angled, or incorporate sloped or curved terrain, such as that of [[Green Hill Zone]]. | *'''Uneven ground''' - Some platforms are angled, or incorporate sloped or curved terrain, such as that of [[Green Hill Zone]]. | ||
*'''Walls''' - Present only on hard platforms, walls typically constitute the sides of large islands, and are distinct in that characters may perform [[wall jump]]s and other techniques with them. | *'''Walls''' - Present only on hard platforms, walls typically constitute the sides of large islands, and are distinct in that characters may perform [[wall jump]]s and other techniques with them. | ||

Some platforms that move along set paths, such as the Arwings in [[Corneria]], cross [[blast line]]s during their routines. | ||
*'''Tilting and rotation''' - Certain platforms, such as the magma cavern of [[Castle Siege]], tilt continuously and result in surfaces with slopes that are constantly changing. Other platforms, like that of [[Brinstar Depths]] and the [[Helirin]] [[Assist Trophy]], perform complete rotations, transitioning from platforms into walls and back again as their angles change. | *'''Tilting and rotation''' - Certain platforms, such as the magma cavern of [[Castle Siege]], tilt continuously and result in surfaces with slopes that are constantly changing.

*'''Special surfaces''' - Platforms with special surfaces affect players' movement when they interact with them. [[Slippery]] platforms, like those found in [[Summit]], prolong characters' ground momentum and cause them to slide along the ground. Rolling surfaces, like those found in the electric phase of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and on the slope of [[Distant Planet]] in the rainy weather, cause players to move in one direction along the ground while they stand, walk, run or attack. Bouncy platforms and springs, like those found in a transformation of [[PictoChat]], are not possible to walk upon because they propel characters high upward upon contact. | *'''Special surfaces''' - Platforms with special surfaces affect players' movement when they interact with them.

*'''Destructibility''' - Particular platforms are possible to destroy or alter after they, or adjacent stage structures, take enough damage. They regenerate after a set period of time has passed. For example, the yellow platforms in Skyworld break and disappear after they are struck by enough attacks, the main platform of Brinstar splits in two after the organic material in its centre is destroyed by hits, and the floor platforms of Luigi's Mansion are destroyed as its pillars are broken by damage. [[Onett]]'s awning platforms are not affected by attacks, but will collapse and disappear after enough characters jump onto them. | *'''Destructibility''' - Particular platforms are possible to destroy or alter after they, or adjacent stage structures, take enough damage.

*'''Falling away''' - Certain platforms, such as [[Drop Blocks]] and the Donut Lift platforms of [[Rainbow Cruise]], drop downward and eventually disappear when stood on for long enough, and regenerate after a certain amount of time. | *'''Falling away''' - Certain platforms, such as [[Drop Blocks]] and the Donut Lift platforms of [[Rainbow Cruise]], drop downward and eventually disappear when stood on for long enough, and regenerate after a certain amount of time. | ||
*'''Bump ceilings''' - The {{ | *'''Bump ceilings''' - The {{b|Mario Bros.|stage}} stage has blue hard platforms that can be bumped. When a knocked or jumping character or item hits the ceiling of one of these blue platforms, that part of the platform raises slightly in response. When positioned on a platform, the stage's native enemies will jump or flip upside down if the platform's ceiling is bumped from below. Characters who are bumped from below will jump. | ||
