- A variant of [[gameplay-feature:spinning-discs]] mounted above the playfield surface rather than flush with it. The elevated position means the ball passes beneath the spinning disc and is deflected by its underside, producing a different interaction than the standard flush-mounted version where the ball rolls across the disc's face. [[manufacturer:sega]]'s *[[title:big-together]]* (1977) and *[[title:southpaw]]* (1977) both featured aerial spinning disks, using the raised mechanism to add a three-dimensional obstacle that disrupts the ball's path from above — a striking visual and mechanical variation on the spinning disc concept.
