The Hinged Platform is an obstacle that is frequently encountered in the game.
The Hinged Platform is a small platform that is hinged to a special post, wall or other structure. When anything or anyone is on a platform it will fold down, tipping anything or anyone down on to the ground, on to Hazards or into Hazards. It can be encountered as a single platform or multiple platforms that will have to be negotiated together. The Hinged Platform can be made of metal or wood.
The Hinged Platform comes in three main types:
- The powered type which is continually moving.
- The unpowered type which moves when something or someone is on it.
- The type that needs to be activated by using a Pressure Switch or Lever.
- All three heroes can jump the Hinged Platforms with careful timing.
- Knight: he can only jump the Hinged Platforms.
- Thief: she is able to use her Grapple Hook on some of the wooden Hinged Platforms.
- Wizard: he can place Boxes, Planks and other objects on or below Hinged Platforms.
Important note: one of the most useful things the Wizard can do, is to place a Plank on some types of Hinged Platform, this will make the platform stable and stop it from folding down. He can also place things under a Hinged Platform to jam it in the open position.
