Alternate names: Pass-through platforms
Name variations: drop-through platforms

Commonly when moving from below these they do nothing to inhibit motion, from above they work like regular floor/platforms but allow dropping down through them (usually by pressing down, crouch, or similar control and jump to signal "jump down").

In games where objects can be moved about, solid objects are usually supported while semi-solid (e.g. liquids) are not.
