'''Conveyor Belts''' (or simply '''conveyors''')<ref name=MLM>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/DS_Mario_vs_DK_Mayhem.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini Land Mayhem!'' North American instruction booklet,] page 17.</ref><ref>''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'' How to Play no. 21 (Conveyor)</ref><ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars'' Workshop object name</ref> are platforms found in many [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' games]]. They are able to carry the player from one place to another without them having to move at all, and can serve as an obstacle or a means to travel faster, depending on the direction the player is heading.

Conveyor belts reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', in [[Toy Time Galaxy]].

In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', conveyor belts appear infrequently in early levels. They first appear in [[Course No.12]] in [[Mt. Teapot]], then later in [[Course No.15|Courses No.15]] and [[Course No.16|16]] of [[Sherbet Land]]. They are absent until [[Course No.27]] in the [[SS Tea Cup]], though here, they are only ceiling decorations.

In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', appear in [[The Curious Factory]] and [[40 Below Fridge]], working as before.

Conveyor belts<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/AGB_Mario_vs_Donkey_Kong.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' instruction booklet,] page 24.</ref><ref name=MLM/> are frequent mechanisms used by [[Mario]] and [[Mini]] toys throughout the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Their design in these games generally features a row of arrows running along their body, pointing in the direction in which the conveyor belt is currently moving. With the exception of their appearance in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'', they are always horizontally oriented and run either left or right. [[Conveyor switch]]es often accompany conveyor belts, allowing the player to change the direction of all conveyor belts in the level in order to solve puzzles. Conveyor belts can carry enemies, including fallen [[Thwomp]]s, in their assigned direction.

Conveyor belts also appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. They are the main focus of [[Teatime Twirl]], which also marks the debut of [[Purple Conveyor]]s. Standard gray conveyor belts are called '''Gray Conveyors''' to distinguish them from Purple Conveyors. Gray Conveyors cannot be moved.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/DS_Mario_vs_DK_Mayhem.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'' instruction booklet.] ''Nintendo.com.''

Conveyor Belts later appear on the escalators of {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', with the arrows now being bigger.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Conveyor Belts appear on [[DS Peach Gardens|DS Peach Gardens T]], Wii Coconut Mall, [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway 2]] and [[RMX Bowser's Castle 1]], where they serve the same function as before. In Singapore Speedway 2, ramps can be found on the conveyor belts, similar to ''Mario Kart 8''{{'}}s Rainbow Road.

Conveyor Belts appear again in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], where they are composed of black cylinders. They are found in [[Bowser Path]], [[Bowser's Castle]], and [[Peach's Castle]], where the latter two locations also feature [[Fawful]]-like generators that indefinitely spawn pairs of [[Bob-omb]]s moving in lockstep across Conveyor Belts; the Bob-ombs can be avoided by [[jump]]ing or using a [[Body Slam (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Body Slam]]. Bowser can also be seen going against a conveyor belt for part of his conversation to the Shy Guys he released from the cage.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====

Conveyor Belts appear in World 6-6: [[Feel Fuzzy, Get Clingy]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', where they are made of the hooks from a {{wp|hook and loop fastener}} (colloquially known as Velcro). Because of this, Yoshi can cling onto them as they move (hence the level name), allowing him to access unreachable areas. [[Burrbert]]s are often found stuck to Conveyor Belts and carried by them.
