'''Boulders''', also referred to as '''Rolling Boulders''',<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander|title=''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=130|date=May 30, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|quote='''Rolling Boulders:''' Near the end of the course, boulders begin to roll downhill towards you.|isbn=978-0-804-16328-6|language=en-us}}</ref> appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as obstacles that roll down areas, usually sloped ones, and are capable of harming the player characters.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
'''Rocks'''<ref>{{cite|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|114}}}}</ref> first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are dug up by [[Chargin' Chuck|Diggin' Chuck]]s as a form of attack. They continuously bounce on the ground in one direction (turning the other way when they bump into a wall) until they are hit by [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s attack or sink into [[lava]].


====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
'''Boulders''' are large rocks found throughout various ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' games, which usually serve as obstacles.
[[File:SML2Boulder.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', they are dug up by [[Goronto]]s and act the same as in ''Super Mario World''.


====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Boulders first appeared in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', and were found in the [[SS Tea Cup]] (one in the first level) and in [[Parsley Woods]] (with spikes).
[[File:SM64DS Hazy Maze Cave Star 6.png|thumb|left|200px|A rock rolling towards Mario in the Hazy Maze Cave]]
They also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' in [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. In one room, boulders endlessly roll down a slope and into a [[bottomless pit]]. If Mario attempts to climb the slope, the boulders will deliberately try to home in on him, although they can be dodged. The level's sixth [[Power Star]] is entitled "Watch for Falling Rocks", and is located near the Boulders. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Wario]] must instead punch several boulders, (or ram them upon growing with a  [[Super Mushroom]]) to receive the Power Star.
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', '''Rolling rocks'''<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064632/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/6-6.html|title=Course 6 - Star 6: Watch for Rolling Rocks|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|accessdate=February 23, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref> appear as obstacles. They roll down a slope and into a [[pit]] in a wide room of [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. The rolling rocks deliberately roll in the direction of the player character. The Hazy Maze Cave has a mission called [[Watch for Rolling Rocks]], where the goal is for Mario to avoid the rocks and grab the [[Power Star]] on a nearby corner. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the Power Star is obtained differently: Mario, Luigi, or Wario must grow from a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] and break three or four rocks to reveal the Power Star. Alternatively, Wario can break the rocks by punching them. Also, the DS version of the mission [[Swimming Beast in the Cavern]], requires Wario to a rock on the island in the center of the Underground Lake to reveal the mission's Power Star.
{{br}}


====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Boulders appeared as stationary obstacles, often appearing on various pads, which required them to be moved before the pads could be used. However, only [[Chunky Kong]] could lift them. Boulders also served as weights, and were sometimes needed to keep various switches pressed down. Chunky Kong could also throw them at enemies. In this game, they were dark green in color.

}}
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', '''Ruby Rocks'''<ref name=Portal>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.12-233909/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy/?lang=en}}</ref> and '''Big Ruby Rocks'''<ref name=Portal/> roll on open or closed circuits, coming out infinitely out of tunnels in the former case and falling into an abyss afterwards. If [[Mario]] touches them, he is knocked away and loses one wedge of his [[Health Meter]]. Ruby Rocks are semi-common obstacles that appear in several galaxies, including the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. They can be destroyed if Mario [[spin]]s their weak spot, a circular red area. They can also be destroyed if [[Rainbow Mario]] collides with them, a [[rubbery bulb]] is knocked into them, or the second player uses their [[Star Pointer]] to hold one in place, allowing a second Ruby Rock to collide with it, destroying both Ruby Rocks. Upon destruction, Ruby Rocks leave a large number of [[Star Bits]]. Ruby Rocks in this game have some subtle size differentiation in different levels, though one in the underground section of the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] is especially large. One of [[Bowser]]'s attacks in the first part of his final battle involves surrounding himself with rock fragments and rolling around the planet much like a Ruby Rock in an attempt to squash Mario. Bowser's head sticks out of the rock in the same area where the red spot would be on an actual Ruby Rock. Mario must spin Bowser's head to break him out of his rock shell.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', they roll around in various patterns, and if [[Mario]] touches them, he will be knocked down and lose one wedge of his [[Health Meter]]. They are semi-common obstacles that appear in several galaxies, including the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. They can be destroyed if Mario [[Spinning|spins]] their weak spot: a circular red area. They can also be destroyed if [[Rainbow Mario]] collides with them, or if Player 2 uses a second [[Star Cursor]] to hold one in place, allowing a second one to collide with it, which will destroy both boulders, leaving behind a large amount of [[Star Bit]]s.
[[File:SMG2 Boulder Artwork.png|thumb|left|100px|A Ruby Rock from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Ruby Rocks<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.12-233946/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en}}</ref> reappear in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], a galaxy that is appropriately centered around boulders, as well as the [[Rock Mushroom]]. This time, the Ruby Rocks can also be destroyed by [[Rock Mario]]. The boss of this galaxy, [[Rollodillo]], attacks in the same way as a Ruby Rock, and can be defeated only by using Rock Mario. [[Sorbetti]], the boss of the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], also uses a similar strategy during the boss battle.


When Mario collects a [[Rock Mushroom]], he transforms into [[Rock Mario]], taking the form of a round Ruby Rock-like object which enables him to roll into obstacles and enemies, much like Bowser does in ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s final battle. Mario's head sticks out of the rock where the red spot is normally on a regular Ruby Rock.  
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Boulders reappear in the [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], a galaxy which is appropriately centered around Boulders, as well as the [[Rock Mushroom]]. This time, the boulders can also be destroyed by [[Rock Mario]]. The boss of this galaxy, [[Rollodillo]] attacks in the same way as a Boulder, and can only be defeated using Rock Mario. [[Sorbetti]], the boss of the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], also uses a similar strategy during the boss battle.
{{br}}


====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' very few Boulders appear. The player can find them in [[The Wilds]] and [[The Cave]]. They damage the player, however they can be easily avoided if the player is careful.  
[[File:NSMB2-W3-5.png|thumb|left|200px|A boulder and a [[Blooper]] chasing Mario in World 3-5]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', boulders are common obstacles in an underwater level, [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-5]], and are the only way to obtain certain [[Star Coin]]s that are enclosed in blocks, since Mario cannot break them. Boulders can be destroyed using a [[Super Star]], an [[Invincibility Leaf]], or a [[Gold Flower]].

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
==Names in Other Languages==
[[File:Boulder SMO.png|thumb|200px|A boulder captured by Mario]]
{{foreignname
Boulders in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' have various roles. One specific boulder that takes the form of a large, oblong rock is found in front of a tree in the [[Deep Woods]] in the [[Wooded Kingdom]] and can be [[capture]]d, which allows it to be moved to reveal a tunnel containing a [[Power Moon]]. Many rolling boulders also appear in the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]] and in the segment where Mario captures Bowser in the cave on the [[Darker Side]] of the [[moon]]. These round boulders can be destroyed by ramming into them as a [[Chargin' Chuck]] or by clawing them as Bowser, and may produce a [[heart (item)|heart]] in the latter case. Additionally, during the first battle against Bowser in the [[Cloud Kingdom]], Bowser occasionally attacks Mario by throwing brick-like boulders at him (the second battle in the Moon Kingdom replaces the brick boulders with burning Bowser shells), and many boulders fall down at the end of the game when Mario captures Bowser in the Moon Kingdom as the caves collapse, serving as obstacles, with yellow markers appearing where they are set to land.
|Jap=ゴロロ岩<br>''gororo iwa''
 
|JapM=Gororo Iwa (''Gororo'' is a Japanese term to refer to a rolling object, while ''iwa'' is Japanese for ''rock''.
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
[[File:MountainMayhem-6.png|thumb|left|A falling boulder in Mountain Mayhem]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', boulders are indestructible obstacles that periodically fall down from holes in the background wall, bouncing briefly on any platform they fall onto, and will damage the [[Kong]]s on contact. Boulders appear only in two levels, [[Mountain Mayhem]] and [[Landslide Leap]].
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 64''====
Boulders appear obstacles at the [[N64 Choco Mountain|Choco Mountain]] course in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. They flatten player characters on contact.
 
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Boulders reappear in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as obstacles at [[GCN DK Mountain|DK Mountain]], acting like their ''Mario Kart 64'' counterparts.
 
====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', boulders are once again obstacles at {{classic|N64|Choco Mountain}}. Similar large [[Metal ball|pinballs]] appear as obstacles in [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]].
 
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', boulders appear again in {{classic|GCN|DK Mountain}}.
 
====''Mario Kart 7''====
''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' also features boulders as obstacles, this time integrating them at [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]] and [[Maka Wuhu]] towards the end of the track. In this game and following ''Mario Kart'' games, boulders spin out racers on contact instead of flattening them.
 
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:BoulderMK8.png|thumb|200px|A boulder on the Bowser's Castle course from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'']]
Rolling boulders reappear as are obstacles in the [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]] course of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. In these games, they resemble their ''Super Mario Galaxy'' counterparts in texture, but without the red jeweled side. [[Millstone]]s similar to boulders appear in [[Thwomp Ruins]]. Rolling boulders also appear in {{classic|N64|Choco Mountain}}, {{classic|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}}, and {{classic|GCN|DK Mountain}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC.
 
{{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} features a type of boulder<ref name="MKT">Displayed as an [[Mario Kart Tour race points system#Object interactions|action]] in ''Mario Kart Tour''</ref> that is stationary and has an elongated shape. Such boulders appear on the grassy, off-road portions of the {{wp|Barangaroo, New South Wales#Barangaroo Reserve|Barangaroo Reserve}} segment. They slow down racers when driven into, but do not crash them like rolling rocks do. They can be launched into the air by hitting them with a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] or a [[Super Horn]], or by touching them while under the effects of a [[Bullet Bill]] or [[Super Star]].
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', rolling rocks<ref name="MKT"/> appear as obstacles at {{classic|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, {{classic|N64|Choco Mountain}}, {{classic|GCN|DK Mountain}} and Athens Dash 2. The player can destroy a rolling rock and get bonus points in the process by hitting it with a Spiny Shell, [[Bowser's Shell]], [[Bob-omb]], Super Horn, [[Giga Bob-omb]], or [[Super Bell]], or by ramming into one while under the effects of a [[Frenzy (Mario Kart Tour)|Frenzy]], [[Mega Mushroom]], Bullet Bill, or Super Star.
 
The boulders<ref name="MKT"/> seen in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''{{'}}s rendition of {{classic|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} also appear in ''Mario Kart Tour'' on Sydney Sprint 3 and its variants. In this game, they can be launched into the air by almost the same means used to destroy rolling rocks, except with Bob-ombs, and they grant bonus points in the process.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
Boulders appear in some [[minigame]]s in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. In [[Boulder Ball]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', the solo player must use a machine to fling boulders at the team players to prevent them from reaching the top of a slope. In [[Granite Getaway]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', the players need to run away from a giant rolling boulder. In [[Rocky Road (minigame)|Rocky Road]] in ''Mario Party 6'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''Mario Party Superstars'', teams need to [[punch]] and [[kick]] boulders blocking the road to destroy them so they can reach the finish line. In [[Block and Roll]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', the rivals must roll boulders down to the solo player to prevent them from transporting three blocks from one side to the other.
 
===''Wario Land'' series===
====''Wario Land II''====
In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', boulders fall from holes in the walls of underground areas in [[Avoid the rocks!]] and [[The Final Battle!!]]. Large ones squash [[Wario]] into [[Flat Wario]], but small ones can be held and thrown by him to defeat enemies or [[Enemy Block]]s.
 
====''Wario Land 3''====
In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', boulders are small, lumpy objects appearing only in [[Above the Clouds (Wario Land 3)|Above the Clouds]], working as they did in ''Wario Land II''.
 
====''Wario Land 4''====
In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', boulders are produced by [[Bowler]]s from the ground and are indestructible. Once created, they are tossed in the direction of Wario, rolling until hitting a wall or falling into [[lava]]. They damage Wario on contact. There are also small, holdable boulders that appear in several levels, working as in previous ''Wario Land'' games.
 
====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
[[File:WLSI Sneak Peak boulder2.png|thumb|Two boulders rolling towards [[Wario]] in the level [[Sneak Peak]] of ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'']]
Boulders also appear in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', acting as obstacles in volcano-related courses. In [[Mt. Lava Lava]], there are enormous boulders held in place either by [[Hard Block]]s or [[Bomb Block (Wario Land: Shake It!)|Bomb Blocks]]. When Wario destroys these, the boulders immediately start chasing him down a path, destroying every enemy and block in its path. If a boulder catches up to Wario, he will remain stuck to its surface and move along with it until the boulder stops somewhere and flings Wario forward due to the momentum. In [[Sneak Peak]], there are small boulders that can also pick up Wario as they roll, but can be jumped on to reach a higher area. They endlessly come out of openings in walls and roll on the ground until they fall into lava.
 
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:DK64 Chunky Boulder.png|thumb|200px|[[Chunky Kong]] holding a boulder in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'']]
{{quote|Can pick up a boulder with relative ease. Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze!|DK Rap}}
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', boulders are stationary obstacles colored dark green that can be lifted by only [[Chunky Kong]]. Many boulders appear on pads, which are unusable until the boulder is lifted. In some cases, boulders can press down on various switches.
 
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze]]'', boulders<ref>{{cite|author="Help" screen|title=''Donkey Kong Country Barrel Maze''|quote=BOULDER: Pursues your barrel in a straight line and causes damage if it hits you.}}</ref> initially stand still, but start rolling towards the player's [[barrel]] when approached. They roll straight ahead until hitting a wall, a slope, or the playable barrel, at which point they break. If the playable barrel is hit by a boulder, it loses some energy. Boulders appear in most levels.
 
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
In ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', boulders appear in varying sizes, and most are covered in spikes. They are encountered primarily in [[Boulder Roller]].
 
===''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''===
In ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', boulders are depicted with three indentations similar to a bowling ball. They are also interactive objects that [[Yoshi]] can stand, and tilting the [[Game Boy Advance]] causes the boulder to roll, defeating enemies along the way.
 
===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
Rolling boulders appear as obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', being first encountered in [[Massive Canyon]]. They damage Donkey Kong on contact, and can only be jumped over.
 
===''Wario: Master of Disguise''===
In ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', boulders are created by [[Poobah the Pharaoh]] from his nostrils as part of his first attack phase. Boulders remain still for a moment when landing on the ground before rolling towards Wario, breaking when they hit a wall. They can hurt Wario if touched from the sides, but can be destroyed with a jump.
 
===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Boulders<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber'' instruction booklet|page=14|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they have many [[peg]]s on them, and are required for reaching high areas, including [[Peg Board]]s and ledges. [[Donkey Kong]] can spin the boulder either left or right, based on which side he is spinning from it. Boulders appear in cave levels, beginning with [[Cool Cool Cave]].

==Trivia==
{{NIWA|Ukikipedia=1}}
*During the first part of the final [[Bowser]] battle in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', one of Bowser's attacks involves surrounding himself with rock fragments and rolling around the planet much like a Boulder in an attempt to squash [[Mario]]. Bowser's head sticks out of the rock in the same area where the red spot would be on an actual Boulder. Mario must [[spin]] Bowser's head to break him out of his rock shell.
<references/>
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the [[Rock Mushroom]] is introduced for the first time. When collected, this [[powerup]] will allow Mario to transform into a round Boulder-like object and roll into obstacles and enemies, much like Bowser did in [[Super Mario Galaxy]]'s final battle. Mario's head sticks out of the rock where the red spot would normally be on a regular boulder.
