Rotating bars[1] are thin platforms in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They are only found in Tick Tock Clock, where they are fastened to the walls near the player character's starting position. Eight Red Coins are scattered among the rotating bars, making them necessary to navigate for the mission Stop Time for Red Coins.

Rotating bars are among the many platforms within Tick Tock Clock that rotate, turning clockwise. This makes them difficult to navigate without falling off.

If the minute hand is on 12 when the player character enters the course, the rotating bars are motionless and parallel with the floor.
