Variant of Lift

Ghost-coasters[1] are lifts that are controlled by ghosts in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. 2 . Unlike Flatbed Ferries, ghost-coasters do not move along tracks and have erratic movements that are difficult to predetermine. Their designs vary between the titles they appear in.

History[edit ]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit ]

In New Super Mario Bros., ghost-coasters have yellow-colored tops and striped undersides that are magenta and white. Their means of movement are not visually conveyed in this game. There are only two in the game, both of which appear in narrow corridors in World 5- Ghost House. They begin to slowly rise when Mario (or Luigi) steps foot on them. As they ascend, they pass by collectible coins. They also pause to teeter back and forth as they ascend. Once they reach a certain height, ghost-coasters dramatically drop back down the corridor before slowly rising again, emulating the movements of drop towers.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit ]

Raccoon Mario on a ghost-coaster in World 3- Ghost House

Ghost-coasters resemble normal lifts in New Super Mario Bros. 2, but are carried by Peepas. Most ghost-coasters are carried by a pair of Peepas, but smaller ones are carried by just one. The Peepas only reveal themselves once Mario (or Luigi) steps on a ghost-coaster, which also causes it to start moving. Most ghost-coasters move along predetermined paths in the air, communicated by rows of coins. Others have more erratic movements, some almost turning completely upside-down. Once they reach the end of the path, the Peepas teeter the lift back and forth before vanishing, taking the platform with them. They appear in World 3- Ghost House, within which some ghost-coasters are necessary to collect all of the level's Star Coins and find the secret exit. Ghost-coasters are the primary platforms available in the First Course of the Platform Panic Pack that was released in most territories on December 5, 2012.
