Conveyor Belt: Difference between revisions

'''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.

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.

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.
