Cascading Stones[1], also described as falling stone blocks[2] or falling blocks[3], are platforms of various shapes and sizes in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. When stood upon by Yoshi, they fall down into the ground, or off the screen. They shake when Yoshi stands on one, indicating that they will fall. They appear in a few levels, but mostly in the level Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa.

The rocks make a reappearance in Yoshi's Island DS, where they appear mainly in World 4-1, Rock 'n' Fall. They also reappear in Yoshi's New Island as a feature of World 2-1, Koopa Canyon.
