Which platformers had flying books?

I know of Symphony of the Night and the ending to Dr. Mario on the NES. But which platforming games had flying books? (i'm looking up sprites, if you want to know why I'm asking such a weird question)

Super Castlevania IV had flying books as enemies, and big floating tomes as moving platforms.
I think Terranigma has an animated book icon.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and A2 have, at the beginning, an animated book sprite.

Those aren't platformers... :P

Adventures In The Magic Kingdom. Then again, if you wanna nitpick, it's not a "complete" platformer, since it has three driving stages.

Don't forget that Symphony of the Night had floating book enemies. They happened to be 3D though.

I wonder if Fantasia on the Genesis had books as platforms somewhere? Can't remember, but it sure sounds familiar. I would look into it if it wasn't for the fact that the game is one of the worst games I've ever played in my entire life. Maybe I'll check youtube.

Banjo Kazooie had them as characters. 3D, but I think the talking icon was a sprite.

I remembered the ones in Ghoul Patrol (the sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbors). For now I'm using those because they're about the right size. But I'll check out the ones in Pagemaster. It makes so much sense that they'd be in there, too. I just forgot they made a game for that.

The pagemaster.

Gameplay: The Pagemaster (SNES)

Oh my god yes.

This is exactly what I was thinking of when I saw this thread title.
Reluctant fighting game, Mega Man/X, Dragon Quest, and Castlevania lifelong fan.

What do I do with all these Belmonts?
