'''Conveyor Belts''' (or simply '''conveyors''')<ref name=MLM>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/DS_Mario_vs_DK_Mayhem.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini Land Mayhem!'' manualinstruction booklet,] pages 16-17].</ref> are platforms found in many [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' games]]. They are able to carry the player from one place to another without them having to move at all, and can serve as an obstacle or a means to travel faster, depending on the direction the player is heading.
 
==History==
===''Donkey Kong''===
Line 17:
Conveyor Belts also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. However, they only appear in the levels [[Bullet Bill Base]] and [[Captain Toad Gets Thwomped]].
 
Conveyor Belts can be used in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', where their speed can be adjusted by shaking them. Their direction and length can also be changed. Pressing a [[P Switch]] causes the Conveyors to stop moving. They also reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', Conveyor Belts can be placed diagonally, acting as slopes[[Slope]]s. Additionally, a new type of Conveyor Belt is introduced that is toggled by [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, switching direction when one is activated.
 
===''Wario Land'' series===
====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''====
In ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', conveyor belts appear infrequently in early levels. They first appear in [[Course No. 12]] in [[Mt. Teapot]], then later in Courses No. [[Course No. 15|Courses No.15]] and [[Course No. 16|16]] of [[Sherbet Land]]. They are absent until [[Course No. 27]] in the [[SS Tea Cup]], though here, they are only ceiling decorations.
 
====''Wario Land II''====
In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', they are a little more common, appearing [[Escape from the factory!]], [[Into the factory!]], [[Move through the water!]], [[Awaiting Syrup!]], and [[The Final Battle!!]]. The direction they move can be changed with a [[Switch (Wario Land II)|switch]].

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
Conveyor belts<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/AGB_Mario_vs_Donkey_Kong.pdf ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' manualinstruction booklet,] page 24].</ref><ref name=MLM/> are frequent mechanisms used by [[Mario]] and [[Mini]] toys throughout the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Their design in these games generally features a row of arrows running along their body, pointing in the direction the belts on the conveyor belts move. They are always horizontal and run either left or right. '''Conveyor switches'''<ref name=MLM/> often accompany conveyor belts and allow the player to change the direction of all conveyor belts on-screen in order to solve puzzles conveniently. Conveyor belts are shown to be able to carry enemies, even fallen [[Thwomp]]s, in their assigned direction.
 
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
In the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong|first installment]] of the series, conveyor belts are first found in [[Level 1-4 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 1-4]] of [[Mario Toy Company]]. Their color scheme depends on the world they appear in. Their main purpose is carrying Mario through tight passages while he crouches. Conveyor belts can also be used to ferry [[key]]s into more accessible areas near the exit. They also significantly impede Mario's walking speed if he runs against them, although he can still successfully walk in their opposite direction. This is the only game in the series where conveyor belts are semi-solid, meaning that they can be jumped on from underneath.
 
In levels with conveyor belts starting with [[Level 5-1 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Level 5-1]], Mario often comes across gray buttons that he can jump on and press to change their direction. Each button has two red light bulbs on its sides, alternating whenever the button is pressed to signal the change in direction.
 
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
[[File:MvsDK2 ConveyorBelt.png|thumb|A series of conveyor belts guiding a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: March of the Minis'']]
Conveyor belts continue to appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', debuting with [[Room 1-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Room 1-7]] of [[Mushroom Mayhem]]. From this game onward, they all appear as gray and are completely solid. [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Marios]] that enter a conveyor belt are glidslid by the conveyor belt in direction it moves until reaching its end. Mini Marios turn around when they encounter a conveyor belt running in the opposite direction.
 
In many levels with conveyor belts, there are also green oblong switches with two arrows pointing away from each other. These are positioned in the walls and the player can tap them with the stylus to change the direction of all conveyor belts in a level simultaneously.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars''====
Both gray and purple conveyor belts reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', where they are introduced in [[Runaway Warehouse]]. They are not changed from their previous appearance.
 
===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', vertical conveyors appear in the [[Clock Tower]], moving up to assist Donkey Kong with [[Wall Jump]]s.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
