'''Big Goal Poles'''<ref>{{cite|author=Esmarch, Nick van|date=2011|title=''Super Mario 3D Land: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Premiere Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4|page=85, 87}}</ref> are a type of [[goal]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They are found in the final courses of each [[world]], making them analogous to the [[Grand Star]]s of prior games, as well as [[Multi Moon]]s and [[Royal Seed]]s. Unlike normal [[Goal Pole]]s, Big Goal Poles initially have broad flags in place of pennants, but they otherwise function the same way and are part of Goal Pole-related [[completion]] requirements in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''. Like the other Goal Poles, Big Goal Poles are always proceeded by a staircase made of [[block]]s or platforms, and their flags turn gold if the player character grabs them at their very tops.

The area where Big Goal Poles occur typically only become accessible when the course's [[list of bosses|boss]] is beaten. The only exceptions are {{world link|s7|castle3d|Special 7-Castle}} in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the only [[castle]] course in the game to not feature a boss, [[Special 8-3]], the only castle course in the game to be in the middle of the world, and {{world link|s8|crown|Special 8-Crown}} and [[Champion's Road]], the final levels of their respective games.
