Moving Fences[1] (also lowercased)[2] areChain-Links in theSuper Mario series that move through the air. Their designs and means of movement vary by title, but the player character is always capable of clinging to them as they would stationary Chain-Links.
Red-rimmed Chain-Links inSuper Mario 3D World also shift through the air in courses such asChain-Link Charge.
History[edit]
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
- “You can move some gates with B. This may help, but... if you try to cling for too long, the gate'll fall off! You'll have to jump to safety at some point, so be careful!”
- —Pianta during "The Goopy Inferno"
Moving Fences debut inSuper Mario Sunshine, where they are referred to simply asgates. They are panels of woven bamboo fastened totracks underneathPianta Village. Gates are stationary by default, enablingMario to hop on and cling to them. Pressing
causes the clung gate to slide along the track. When a gate reaches the end of the track it is on, the gate slightly sways for a few moments before dropping. If Mario did not let go at this point, he falls into thepit below and loses a life.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
InNew Super Mario Bros. 2, Moving Fences are rectangular metal chain-link fences with orange-colored rims that slide along tracks. One moves back and forth automatically, but most activate whenever the player character grabs on to them. Like inSuper Mario Sunshine, Moving Fences drop at the ends of their tracks. They alter their elevation on the track whenever the player hits them. Moving Fences appear only in thelava-filledWorld 5-
Castle, where they are the primary means of navigating the course.
New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Moving Fences appear only inLarry's Torpedo Castle inNew Super Mario Bros. U andits enhanced Nintendo Switch port. Unlike in prior games, these Moving Fences have red outer barriers similarly to the fences fromSuper Mario World and are visually indistinguishable from the sole normal fence inNew Super Mario Bros. U. Moving Fences are of various widths and heights, and they are necessary to avoid nearbyBurners and access the secondStar Coin of the course.
