Bone lifts,[1][2] originally referred to as floating platforms[3] and slow falling platforms,[4] are slow-falling lifts in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2. They descend when stood on, similar to Donut Blocks and Flimsy Lifts. Bone lifts appear only in castle courses where the player character fights Bowser or Dry Bowser, above pools of lava. The platforms closely resemble the body segments of Spine Coasters, as well as the lifts that collapse when struck by Bowser Jr. in The Final Battle from New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.
This platform is one of several lifts referred to as a "Bone Lift" in Japanese, with others being the Bone Lift from Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins, the segmented platform from New Super Mario Bros. 2, and a platform that sits on Lava Geysers from Super Mario Bros. Wonder.[5]
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, bone lifts of varied length appear in World 8-👁 Image
Bowser's Castle. When the player character lands on a bone lift, it shakes for a few moments before slowly descending into the lava below. Bone lifts are the primary platforms of the lava-draining room before the midway point.
Bone lifts are restricted to the fight against Super Bowser in World 6-👁 Image
Bowser Castle, where they are the only accessible footing for most of the battle, especially the second phase. They slowly rise from the lava at the bottom of the screen and must be used by the player character to avoid losing a life. However, standing on a bone lift for too long causes it to fall, as was the case in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Super Bowser destroys bone lifts in the path of his swiping claws. Like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, bone lifts are of various lengths. The platforms appear during the battle with Dry Bowser in World 👁 Image
