Each character has his or her own stage, and the platforms are placed in a specific manner to make the player use one or more of the special skills they possess to reach some of them. These are generally double and Up B jumps. After landing on the top of the platform, the previously red flashing light will change to a static blue. Once all ten are blue, the stage finishes, and the announcer will say if there is "A new record!", or if it's just simply "Complete". If the stage has been accessed via 1P Game, the scoring screen for the Board the Platforms stage will show up instead.
