TILE-BASED GAME HELP....

I''m creating a mario type side-scroller game. Here''s my problem: I''m not sure how to create moving platforms in the game. I know that there is probably a really easy explanation for this, but I''m kind of new to these types of games. First, i thought that i could use the background tiles and just keep changing the platform tiles up or down a row. But then i realized that because the tiles are 32x32, it wouldnt look good since they could only move 32 pixels at a time ( it would look really choppy). Please help me. p.s. i''m talking about the ones like in Super Mario 3, (the ones that move along a black line) thanks

It would probably be best to store the part of the background that does not change move as tiles and then have the platforms be seperate objects.
