A Platform is a floating mini-stage used to walk on that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. Since the original Sonic the Hedgehog video game for the Sega Genesis, platforms have became a stable in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, appearing to save the player from falling to their death, whether it be a bottomless pit or spikes. Platforms have appeared as different sizes and looks, but a platform has typically appeared as long, rectangles that have the zone theme as a style for the platform.
Typically, a platform can appear to stay afloat even if the player is on the platform, or it could fall off as soon as the player jumps on top of it. Such example of the latter appears in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, as a yellow, holographic platform disappears as soon as Sonic the Hedgehog jumps on top of it. Some platforms move along in a set pattern which can usually help the player cross bottomless pits to proceed through an action stage.
