Countdown Platforms are floating semisolid platforms that appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (and its reissue), Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island, and Yoshi's Woolly World. They resemble scales with a number labeled on each, this number decreasing by one every time something moves off of them. Because of this, the counter will not go down when the player has a Yoshi stand on them; it will decrease only when the Yoshi steps off or jumps off of them. If the weight on the scale is removed when the counter is at one, the platform will vanish in a puff of smoke. Countdown Platforms typically range from a highest display of four to a lowest of one, but in Yoshi's Woolly World, some go as high as nine. In most games, Countdown Platforms can be activated only by a Yoshi, and every other object passes through them. However, in Yoshi's Woolly World, shells can also trigger these platforms.
Countdown Lifts from Super Mario Bros. Wonder function very similarly to Countdown Platforms, both being semisolid platforms which count down how many times the player can step on them. However, the counter on a Countdown Lift will decrease when stepped on, rather than when when stepped off.
