Hexagons appear in the Super Mario franchise as platforms of the same shape.

History[edit]

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 2[edit]

Hexagons are featured in the minigame Hexagon Heat in Mario Party 2. They have sides with a yellow and black stripe pattern, while the colors of the metal-textured surfaces on the hexagons are as follows: yellow on the top left, cyan on the left, blue on the bottom left, pink on the bottom right, green on the right, red on the top right, and white in the middle. Each time Toad raises a colored flag, every hexagon of a different color lowers into the lower, just as the Mushroom Platforms do into the water in Mushroom Mix-Up.

Mario Party: The Top 100[edit]

They appear in the returning minigame Hexagon Heat in Mario Party: The Top 100, now titled "panels." The panels now depict panels, and their order was also changed: blue with a vertical rectangle on the top left, pink with a square on the left, yellow with an upside-down triangle on the bottom left, red with a horizontal rectangle on the bottom right, cyan with a diamond on the right, green with a triangle pointing up on the top right, and white with a circle in the middle, just like in Mario Party 2.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Hexagons have mostly gray metal surfaces in Super Mario 3D World and its port. They are featured in Honeycomb Starway and Honeycomb Skyway. Some hexagons are hazardous, having ice or lava on them. If the player somehow starts at the end of Honeycomb Starway, three hexagons seemingly containing ice appear; however, the two on the outside clip into the middle one. They also make the player lose a life on contact, with orange lava splashing out.[1] This may be because hexagons filled with lava appear in the same spot. Some hexagons appear when the player character approaches, but they can also appear vertically, on the path to the Goal Pole.
