A Flatbed FerryTemplate:Refneeded is a kind of moving platform which appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island. It is similar in appearance to the individual platforms of a Paddle Wheel, but travelling on it is less dangerous, as the player only has to step on it once to make it start following the dotted line that it is attached to. When it reaches the end of the line and is blocked by a little red sphere, it will switch its direction of movement; if the line ends without a sphere, the Flatbed Ferry will fall down, but may be "caught" by another dotted line if it falls on one and starts following it.
There are three varieties of Flatbed Ferries, which only differ in their speed of movement.
