They are robotic<ref name=Daijiten/>, statue-like beings that [[Wario]] can ride. They move in the direction the arrow in their head is pointing, and Wario can control the direction in which they go by jumping and landing back on top of them, similar to the [[Directional Lift]]s with exclamation marks in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are only found in two courses of the game: [[Course No.11]] and [[Course No.17]]. If Wario falls off of the Floater, he may fall into a [[pit]] and lose a life. | ||
Floaters' design appears to be inspired by the Japanese {{wp|dogū}} sculptures of the {{wp|Jōmon period}}. These ancient sculptures share the same lidded eyes and general shape as Floaters, and are often referenced in Japanese pop culture — including video games. | Floaters' design appears to be inspired by the Japanese {{wp|dogū}} sculptures of the {{wp|Jōmon period}}.
