Editing Bolt (object)

'''Bolts'''<ref>Instruction manual for NES port, page 5.</ref><ref>"''Walk or jump over the bolt to remove it!''" &mdash; '''In-game instructions''', ''[[NES Remix]]''</ref> (also known as '''plugs'''<ref>The ''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], page 127.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Prima Games|Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], page 67.</ref> or '''rivets'''<ref>Instruction manuals for Intellivision, ColecoVision, Coleco Tabletop, Atari 2600, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 (Atarisoft), MS-DOS, Apple II, Commodore VIC-20, TI-99/4A, Coleco Adam, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 (Ocean), MSX, ZX Spectrum, and Atari 7800 ports.</ref>) are objects that [[Mario]] must destroy in level [[100m]] of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. There are eight (six in the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]]) orange bolts that are worth 100 [[point]]s each. Mario must simply walk or jump across a bolt to remove it. After all of the bolts are gone, the platforms supporting [[Donkey Kong]] will collapse, allowing Mario to rescue [[Pauline]]. Removing a bolt also creates a gap that [[Fire (100m)|Fire]]s cannot cross. If a bolt is removed while a Fire is on top of it, the enemy will become stuck over the gap. This allows Mario to safely jump over the enemy repeatedly to gain points.

 

Bolts reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. In level B1 of [[DK's Hideout]], [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s have to remove bolts around the stage to defeat Donkey Kong in a manner similar to 100m. They do so by walking over, jumping across, or standing on top of a bolt, which would then shrivel into nothing.
