Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Games in general often have unrealistic physics when it comes to projectiles, but the more simplistic platformers sometimes take this to the extreme. Specifically, they'll let you jump on and ride atop one in mid-flight, without altering its perfectly-straight trajectory. Usually, if you screw up the jump TO the platform-projectile, the 'pointy' end will injure you. That is, of course, a problem for a One-Hit Point Wonder. A variant exists where you can't jump on the projectile mid-flight, but can use it after it's planted in a wall. Compare Improvised Platform Platform Battle, Stepping-Stone Sword, Stepping Stones in the Sky. Often overlaps with the Cranium Ride. Most of these examples will also fall under Painfully Slow Projectile. |

Ardy Lightfoot: In one level, your character has to jump up a long series of spears above a pit of lava, to reach more stable platforms above. | |

Mario games in general, particularly Super Mario Bros. 2, where you can ride on top of Birdo's eggs (and have to do so to get past at least one level). Even better, you can pick up the egg in midair while you're riding it. Obviously, this cancels your forward momentum. |

Even better, you can pick up the egg in midair while you're riding it. Obviously, this cancels your forward momentum. Bullet Bills are an aversion though as they get KO when you jump on them. Super Princess Peach features spear-riding. Para-Beetles are an aversion though, they either slowly fall down or rise up when stood on, and reset to normal when Mario jumps off. |

A staple gameplay mechanic of the Bubble Bobble series, where the players use their bubbles not only to attack and trap enemies, but can use them as platforms to make bubble-assisted leaps. | |
