Rainbow Run in the game Super Mario 3D World
Toad and some Skipsqueaks run on Turning Floors

Turning Floors are continually moving objects that appear in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury. They are large, semicircular platforms that turn clockwise or counterclockwise, moving anything on them as they do so. They are most notably seen in Really Rolling Hills and its World Mushroom counterpart, where Skipsqueaks and Spiny Skipsqueaks will run opposite to the direction the Turning Floor is moving, keeping themselves centered on the platform. Other entities, such as Galoombas and items summoned from the Item Storage, will also move in the direction of the Turning Floor if they remain stationary.

Mario and other characters can progress by walking or running in the opposite direction, jumping forwards, or many times simply avoiding the platform altogether. However, fully circular, mandatory Turning Floors appear in Rainbow Run, along with Skipsqueaks. The direction and speed of Turning Floors varies greatly. Skipsqueaks do not appear to change their running speed to account for this, yet still appear on the center of the platform.

In the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, hollow Turning floors appear in Slipskate Slope, in segmented sections that move left and right. While Skipsqueaks are found on top of these platforms, inside are spikes that Mario must carefully avoid being pushed into while in an Ice Skate.
