Ah, the floating platform. A staple of platformers and many other games beside. Their popularity is usually attributed to their use in the Mario series. What do floating platforms do? They float. In the air. Unattached to anything (other than perhaps the background wall, if indoors). Inexplicably. Usually motionless, sometimes moving in a circular or back-and-forth pattern. Their sole purpose of existence is to allow you, the player, to jump onto them to get to where you are going. After all, you can't fly. If it just so happens that you can fly, floating platforms will serve the opposite purpose and become inane obstacles in your way, forcing you to go around them. Unless, of course, you can only fly short distances, in which case, they allow you a rest to recharge your flight meter or whatever the game happens to use. Floating platforms aren't just immune to gravity, but to all laws of physics. Regardless of what happens to them, they'll either just stay frozen in place as if in some state of dimensional stasis (albeit with Midair Bobbing in some cases), or keep moving in a pre-defined pattern, ignoring all thrusts of inertia which attempt to affect them — unless it's a Temporary Platform, in which case the weight of the player will suddenly shock it back to reality in a couple of seconds and cause it to fall, crumble, or vanish. And woe is the player who lands (or, more accurately, doesn't land) on a Fake Platform. Inexplicable floating platforms are in some respects a Discredited Trope, as any game developer who wishes to preserve immersion will surely opt for ways to make platforms of this nature seem more realistic, such as by attaching them to the surrounding terrain or giving some sort of justification like jet thrusters, Green Rocks, Solid Clouds, Cranium Ride on a creature that you made into a Frozen Foe Platform, or some other excuse. But if not, then this is justified perfectly well by Artistic License – Physics and Rule of Fun. See also Floating Continent and World in the Sky when major landmasses behave this way. Examples |

In Devil May Cry, Mission 17: Parted Memento makes you traverse a series of invisible floating platforms, presumably made of some kind of magical energy, to obtain the Quicksilver item needed to unlock the last room and proceed to the Boss Fight. These magical platforms are only visible when the lightning flashes from the storm outside temporarily illuminate them. | |

Half-Life and its expansions are unusual in their use of this trope in their Xen segments (where the platforms aren't supported by any visible force), since the game's popularity is in part grounding the surreality of fighting aliens in a realistic environment. | |

Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies invents Phlebotinum called floatstone, a mineral that allows the floating fortresses of the game to—float. In practice, this is an virtually inconsequential feature of the game as the only combat that occurs from the ground involve artillery units that can missile you down, and you need to be use a special aerial view to target them. Otherwise, all fighting occurs at a single altitude. | |

Clonk: Gravity is somewhat selective, similar to Minecraft, and ground that you dig out (unlike sand) will simply float there. Bizarrely, they can still collapse due to earthquakes. There are also quite a few levels that take place entirely in the sky. Falling off these is a bad idea. Also, all objects (separate entities, as opposed to materials which are parts of the level) that behave solid are unaffected by all gravitation. | |

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter has these in the forms of giant hovering caged fans. A variation is the ones that will sink while you are standing on them, but are not temporary platforms as they will stop sinking at a certain level, but still may sink enough to prevent you from making your next jump or you are required to stay on it long enough to jump to a lower area that would have been impossible to reach from a higher point due to an overhang. Also some of them move sideways while floating. | |

The Legend of Zelda: In this series, some platforms, some more of which are hardlight, are activated by touch, lift you up, and then disappear, whether you like it or not. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: A crumbly-rock type platform hovers in the room you get the slingshot in. Saves all of three seconds of time, and just stands out in a game where most of the platforms are well placed and build, and the only floating ones are in more "magical" areas - why one suddenly needs to drop just stands out. |

Mass Effect 2: Collectors use hexagonal platforms inside their ship and bases. They seem to be built for quick movement around the huge caverns they seem to favour, but have conveniently located blocks for Shepard to take cover behind attacked. During one mission, the Collectors use one of these to spring an ambush by allowing Commander Shepard to pilot one out into open space before locking it down and sending drones after the Commander. Shepard systematically blasts through every one before EDI can hack the platform and Shepard can escape. These platforms probably float around using mass effect fields. | |

In Avatar, massive islands of stone known as the Hallelujah Mountains (Thundering Rocks to the natives) float high above the planet Pandora's surface. It is loosely explained that the magnetic energies from the literal Unobtainium keep them suspended mid-air due to the Meissner Effect. It's also known that the resulting magnetic "Flux Vortex" interferes with the navigational instruments of human aircraft. The principle is actually scientifically sound; a superconductor like unobtanium would float when exposed to a sufficiently powerful magnetic field. However, a magnetic field strong enough to make mountains float would do a lot more than interfere with navigation. | |

Super Mario Bros.: The series is fond of this. However, in Super Mario 64, the very first level had but a single floating piece of land called the floating island that looks ridiculously out of place. Ironically, this is a Pet-Peeve Trope for Shigeru Miyamoto, who once stated in an interview that he still has some issues with floating platforms, due to the lack of any real logic behind them. He then said that he pretends that they are attached to the background in the 2D games. |

Sonic Adventure: The game and its sequel often have entire floating freaking roadways which no car would ever drive on, for reasons including, well, the loops, and, of course, the fact that there's no access point unless you can jump or fly. Also, as in the 2D games, there are numerous small platforms attached to nothing. The best example in the series would be Sky Sanctuary in Sonic & Knuckles, which is the ruin of an entire floating city, traversed mostly vertically instead of horizontally as with most levels. Appropriately, the place collapses at the end of both Sonic and Knuckles's respective versions of the level. |

Drawn to Life: In the game, you draw two different varieties of cloud to serve as platforms, one sort which is stationary, and another sort which moves up and down or back and forth. And in the "floating in water" department, it later has you draw two kinds of ice cube, one which is stationary, and one which floats back and forth on the water. Certain parts also have floating, stationary Shadow Goo platforms which you ooze through. The main gimmick of Drawn to Life gives the player the ability to add whatever justification he or she likes. Sure the game advises you to draw clouds, but there's nothing stopping you drawing a metal platform with rocket thrusters, or a giant balloon, or some kind of non-moving bird. They'll still be floating platforms, but at least the justification is in the hands of the player. |

Magic: The Gathering: In the expansion Zendikar, several geographic formations float in mid-air, including floating plains, mountains, and islands. This can be clearly seen in the artwork of the appropriate land cards. Of course, this expansion is based on the idea that the land is alive and is very volatile/unstable. The Urza's Saga storyline features the Heaven-like world of Serra's Realm, which is made up of idyllic meadows and majestic cathedrals floating on huge slabs of rock. |

Metroid Prime: They're jet-powered here. They simply sit on the ground when the power is off, and one puzzle involves filling a room with water to float such platforms. However, there are also plenty of non-powered floating platforms, including an underwater crash site with perpetually-floating debris that's perfectly spaced out for Samus to hop across. Also, the game never gives any explanation on why some platforms have rockets attached to them. Presumably the Space Pirates did it, but why would they bother strapping rockets to hunks of rocks? | |

The Octarians from Splatoon are known for using mysterious, unexplained technology. As such, they love to use these, from their trademark hovering UFO platforms to entire structures levitating high above the ground. When Pearl makes note of floating platforms during the Octo Expansion, Cap'n Cuttlefish Hand Waves them as "octo tech". These floating platforms are so heavily associated with the Octarians that when Marina uses them in her Shifty Station stages, it serves as the first hint towards her past as an Octarian combat engineer. | |

Minecraft, as a Wide-Open Sandbox, allows players to build up structures, but the physics engine only allows for some blocks to be affected by gravity. Only sand, gravel, uncured concrete powder, and liquids (oh, and dragon eggs and anvils) will fall if the space directly beneath it is unoccupied. All other blocks are not affected by gravity and can be used to create floating platforms. | |

Worms: Many of the maps have inexplicably floating platforms. And that's just to start out with; as in so many other artillery games, you can blast away everything around a single pixel, and it will remain gravity-proof. Scorch aka "Scorched Earth", self-proclaimed "the mother of all games", averts it - by default, the ground particles fall. X Scorch and Atomic Tanks follow the suite. |
