Rolling log

Rolling logs are a recurring type of platform in the . They first appear in Super Mario 64.
==Description==
Rolling logs are cylindrical wooden platforms that roll around upon being stood on by Mario or another character. In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, rolling logs have a texture of a tree. In the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series, they bear less of a resemblance to tree logs, in part because of the target-shaped markings all over them.
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, Mario (or Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario in the remake) can move a rolling log by either running onto it or jumping until they are taken to their destination. If Mario or another character is not standing on a rolling log, it begins to roll back to its initial position.
In the New Super Mario Bros. games, rolling logs are stationary platforms, and if Mario or another character stands on one for too long, they fall off.
