Directional Lifts are [[block]]-like platforms with an arrow emblazoned on them. If [[Mario]] stands on one, the platform releases a decolored form of itself and moves him to the direction the arrow wheel is pointing. There is another Directional Lift that has an exclamation mark on it. If Mario or [[Luigi]] steps on this one, he can control the direction of the platform up, left or right when he jumps. However, if he stands still while the platform is moving and stumble upon an obstacle, like a wall, the platform will keep moving or disappear, causing Mario to fall.

If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] jumps on it, the arrow wheels will move in the direction the arrow is pointing. However, it can change its direction if the Yoshis jump on it again or if the object hits a surface. Arrow wheels can also be grabbed with the Yoshi's tongue and spat out. Arrow wheels come in two colors: tan, the most common, and blue. The difference between these two types of arrow wheels are that the blue arrow wheels disappear if a Yoshi jumps off one and doesn't ride it again for a while. The only way to prevent its disappearance is to grab it with the Yoshi's tongue and spit it out. Arrow wheels first appear in the level [[Salvo The Slime's Castle]]. Arrow wheels are mainly found within the various [[castle]]s and [[fortress]]es across [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Arrow Lifts reappear in the course [[Wet-Dry World]]. They are gray blocks with blue arrows that move back and forth when Mario steps on them. In the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] level "[[Elevate For 8 Red Coins]]," there is a large, flat platform called the '''Work Elevator'''<ref>"''Once you have all the coins in the crates, climb the pole to reach the checkerboard lift. It’s more dependable than the Work Elevator, but you have no control over it.''" - The ''Super Mario 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], page 58.</ref> with four arrow-emblazoned buttons. [[Mario]] can step on these arrows to move the platform, thus being similar to the Directional Lift.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', [[Switchback]]s behave somewhat similar to Arrow Lifts, but they only move side to side or up and down. Similar objects called [[Switchboard]]s also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.
