In ''Super Mario World'', Skull Rafts are used to help [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] cross the [[lava]] river. They are found only in [[Vanilla Dome 3]] and a secret area in [[Vanilla Dome 4]], where there are large areas filled with lava rivers. However, sometimes, [[Blargg]]s jump out and try to attack Mario or Luigi, so he must [[jump]] to avoid them, then land back on the Skull Raft.

Skull Rafts, now known as Lava Lifts, reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. This appearance is different than in ''Super Mario World''. They are able to move in the air on top of moving in lava. They can be used in all four styles, featuring new sprites for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and a 2.5D model for ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. A faster blue variant also exists, and it does not fall off the screen after a couple seconds. The rafts are generally used to follow [[track]]s.
