An otherwise-normal place that's floating in the sky, often for no adequately-explored reason.
Line 164:
** In [[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]] we get the flying castle and [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] version; Bowser kidnaps Peach by using his castle to lift hers into space. This was done using a very specific form of [[A Wizard Did It]]: Bowser stole the all-powerful Star Rod from Star Haven, which is itself a [[Floating Continent]].
** ''[[Mario Kart]] Super Circuit'' has Sky Garden, a garden track floating high in the sky.
** Glitzville in ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' seems to be kept aloft by rockets, and is pretty much a tourist trap with a fighting arena. One character wants to build a sauna there, but apparently it's against the fire code for a floating island.
** Most of the levels of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
* The Mana Fortress in ''[[Mana (series)|Secret of Mana]]''. Destroyed in the backstory. Floated again late in the game. And in the end, it was destroyed ''again''.
