The Revival Platform is a special platform that appears after a player has been KO'ed, and comes with the revived character. These platforms disappear as soon as the character/player gets off of it. If the player does not move, the platform will disappear by itself after 5 seconds. This platform can only be boarded by the KO'ed character, and only when they have been KO'ed. It cannot be boarded at any other time.

One advantages of this platform is that the character is invincible the entire time he is on the platform. In Brawl, it is commonly used to avoid characters using a Final Smash. In addition, many players utilize the invincibility to plan out their strategy and gather his or her thoughts.

The animation to the platforms hasn't changed much over the three games.
