[[File: | [[File:ax.gif|frame]]Axes first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are found in the [[castle]] levels. The player can defeat [[Bowser]] or [[Fake Bowser|his duplicates]] by touching the axe, which cuts the support of the bridge Bowser is standing on and sends him falling into the [[lava]] below. If the player does not have a [[Fire Flower]], using the Axe is the only way that the player can defeat Bowser. Axes return and work in the same way in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. | ||

It acts as the goal for Castle-style courses, function as it did in previous games; its appearance varies with the game style, though its appearance in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style has been changed to make it taller and wider (to match up with its ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' appearance). The ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style in ''Super Mario Maker 2'' is the only one to not use the axe as the goal for the castle theme, instead using a slightly modified boss version of the [[Goal Pole]] from the original game. | ||

The section can only be accessed by [[Mini-Mario]], and touching the axe does the same thing as in previous appearances, "defeating" the cardboard duplicate and opening a path for [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to progress. | ||

Although the axe does not appear as an item in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', it being key to defeating Bowser in the older games is given an indirect reference with one of [[Simon Belmont]]'s screencaps, where he is seen about to use his Axe special attack on Bowser. | |||
