Slide Lifts appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its reissue]]. Each Slide Lift consists of a pair of horizontal or vertical platforms that travel clockwise or counter-clockwise on a rectangular [[track]] set around a nut that is fastened to a fence-like structure that may either be protruding or set in floors, walls, or ceilings. As they move in a rectangular fashion, the pair of platforms slide against each other, hence the contraption's name. While they can help the player progress like other platforms, Slide Lifts can also impede the player by denying them ground to stand on, shifting their position, blocking them and their projectiles (as well as projectiles shot by enemies like [[Fire Bro]]s), and, in the worst circumstances, even crush the player or enemies caught between them and floors, walls, ceilings, or other Slide Lifts.

History

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Slide Lifts appear in New Super Mario Bros. U and its reissue. Each Slide Lift consists of a pair of horizontal or vertical platforms that travel clockwise or counterclockwise on a rectangular track set around a nut that is fastened to a fence-like structure that may be either protruding or set in floors, walls, or ceilings. As the pair of platforms moves in a rectangular fashion, they slide against each other, hence the contraption's name. While they can help the player progress like other platforms, Slide Lifts can also impede the player by denying them ground to stand on, shifting their position, blocking them and their projectiles (as well as projectiles shot by enemies such as Fire Bros), and even crushing the player or enemies caught between them and floors, walls, ceilings, or other Slide Lifts.

A total of 26 pairs of dull-colored Slide Lifts serves as the main feature of Slide Lift Tower, while more vibrantly colored Slide Lifts appear in Lakitu! Lakitu! Lakitu! They are one of the few features that did not return in New Super Luigi U, as Stonecrush Tower, the game's equivalent of Slide Lift Tower, instead features constantly shifting slabs of stone held together by planks of wood, slightly similar but not analogous to Slide Lifts.

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a giant Slide Lift comprises the tower portion of the stage Mushroom Kingdom U.
