Multi-Vators[1] are a type of platform that appear in Super Mario 3D World and its campaign in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, as well as Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports. Multi-Vators have a number printed on them that indicates the minimum number of characters that must be standing on the platform in order for it to move, which generally allows access to a hidden secret. They generally appear in stages with Double Cherries, so that a player can use clones to meet their requirements by obtaining Double Cherries. In Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Multi-Vators may be activated by multiple players, one player using multiple clones, or any combination of players and clones that is equal to or greater than the number on the Multi-Vator.

Three Multi-Vators appear in Backstreet Bustle: the two-character one sends the player from the beginning to the area in the middle, the three-character one leads the player to the third Green Star, and the four-character one leads the player to the second Green Star. A two-character Multi-Vator appears near the end of Cakewalk Flip, and leads to the level's Stamp. A two-character Multi-Vator also appears close to the end of Rolling Ride Run, taking the player to the third Green Star.
