A platform on Ribbit IV
Platforms allow Awesomenauts to accend and decend various parts of the map. To drop through a platform just press Jump and Down and the same time.
Some characters and abilities may interect differently with platforms: Derpl's Cat Shot will bounce off of them instead of passing through, Yuri and Ayla (while in Rage mode) can fly freely up and down platforms without the need to imput a special command (just moving through them will do) and Gnaw's Aggressive Acid will cause his Acid Spit to pierce and drip down them. As of Patch 3.2.7, Vinnie & Spike ignore all platforms when holding the 'down' key.
