Directional Lift

Directional Lifts are a block-shaped platform featured in Super Mario Bros. 3 and its reissues.
==Description==
A Directional Lift has either an exclamation mark or an arrow pointed in a certain direction. When Mario or Luigi step on a Directional Lift, a transparent copy of it rises out, carrying Mario or Luigi in the direction in whichever direction its arrow is pointed in. The original Directional Lifts indicate the sole direction in which their transparent copy moves, but Directional Lifts with an exclamation mark allow Mario or Luigi to change the movement of its transparent copy to either up, left, or right by jumping. A transparent Directional Lift can pass through objects, despite allowing Mario or Luigi to stand on it.
After a while, a Transparent Directional Lift disappears, which is indicated a few seconds ahead of time from when it starts to blink, first slowly then rapidly, before vanishing. Some Directional Lifts instantly vanish if Mario or Luigi jump onto another surface.
==In Super Mario Bros. 3==
Directional Lifts first appear in World 4-Fortress 2 and return in World 7-6, in which they are prominently featured. Mario or Luigi have to use several Directional Lifts to travel up a vertical pipe maze.
==In ==
Directional Lifts appear in Stage 7 of the Super Mario Bros. 3 challenges in NES Remix 2 as well as its subsequent inclusions in NES Remix Pack and Ultimate NES Remix. Here, Mario has to ride the Directional Lifts to reach the Warp Pipe at the top of the level.
