'''Screwtop Platforms''' are platforms in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' that move in a set direction when spun on. They have a bolt on them which needs to be spun to activate the platform and make it move. The direction that they spin in can be represented by a thin white line which symbolizes its movement path. They slowly spin back in the direction they came from when the player is not on them. Screwtop Platforms are the main gimmicks of [[Screwtop Tower]], in which they must be used to progress and are also only used in this level. These are also found in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and appear in [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]]. They function in the same way as its ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' counterpart.

Screwtop Lifts[1][2] (also referred to as Screwtop Platforms)[3] are a type of lift found in the New Super Mario Bros. subseries. They are named for the screw mounted in their center.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Screwtop Lifts first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They are encountered in World 8-Airship only. Like certain platforms, these ones are mounted on tracks, though they do not travel on their own by default. If the player does a Spin Jump on the screw of the platform, they do not leap off, but instead spin in place, quickly moving the platform along its track as long as the player is spinning. When not moved by the player, the Screwtop Lift slowly returns to its original position. Similar screws are also seen mounted, not on platforms, but in the airship's floor, used to temporarily extend, retract, or otherwise reposition certain elements in the airship, mostly large metal blocks, but also the level's third Star Coin.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Screwtop Lifts are objects in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, appearing in Screwtop Tower and Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower only, respectively. The former level features nine of them, as well as the 20th and final Time Attack challenge of the game, Screwtop It Up, which requires the player to beat Screwtop Tower (with the first section and the boss fight removed) in, at most, 90 (bronze), 75 (silver), or 65 (gold) seconds. The latter level has five Screwtop Lifts, with the second having Fire Bars mounted on either end of its track, and the third possessing Fire Bars on the middle and upper end of its track.
