Template:Item-infobox

Cogs (also known as gears) are obstacles in some Mario platformers. They have the ability to push the player off if one tries to climb one.

History

Yoshi's Story

Cogs appeared in Yoshi's Story in the Mecha Castle. They are wooden and can only make a Yoshi lose a life if the player rushes to two of them and they are spinning towards each other.

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, cogs can be found in World 1-Castle. If the player remains under one, they will be squished and will lose a life.

New Super Mario Bros. U

New Super Mario Bros. U brings back cogs in Crushing-Cogs Tower. They serve as platforms so the player can reach the top of the tower to fight Boom Boom.

New Super Luigi U

Cogs reappear in the New Super Mario Bros. U expansion, New Super Luigi U, in Crushing-Cogs Tower's equivalent, Flame-Gear Tower, and Hot Cogs.
