They are [[Spike Trap|spike]]s that fall from ceilings.
| |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Land''====
| |
| A spike appears as an obstacle in [[World 3-2 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-2]] in ''Super Mario Land''. It moves rather slowly and resembles a conjoined pair of stalactites; many such stalactites appear on the ceiling of this stage, without falling. Even after this one falls, the stalactites appear to remain on the ceiling because its sprite is layered on top of the stalactites. In [[Hard Mode|Expert Level]], there are six in that level. Some of them are not layered on top of any stalactites so they leave gaps after falling.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario World''====
| |
| Falling spikes are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are more common than before and appear only in [[castle]]s and [[fortress]]es. Falling spikes are typically grouped together with standard [[Spike Trap|spike]]s. They are slightly off-color compared to normal spikes. Unlike Icicles, falling spikes will remain on the ceiling until [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approach one, which will trigger it into falling, similar to a [[Thwomp]]. Once it falls, a falling spike will continue to fall through the floor until it disappears. If the player goes out of range and back again, the falling spike will return.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
| |
| Falling spikes are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They behave the same way as before. Falling spikes appear in the [[Pumpkin Zone]]'s [[Bat Course|first]] and [[Pumpkin Zone Level 2|second]] levels. They can be defeated by running into them while the player is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| |
| Falling spikes are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They act as they did in ''Super Mario World'', but look the same as normal spikes. Falling spikes are encountered in [[Bowser's Last Stand]] only.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Story''===
| |
| Falling spikes are obstacles in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They appear during the fight against [[Baby Bowser]] only, where they fall if hit by an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] or [[Bob-omb|Bob-bomb]], and can therefore damage Baby Bowser while he is riding one of the [[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|ghost]]s. Falling spikes grow back shortly after falling.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===
| |
| Falling spikes are obstacles in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They fall when approached and then drill into the floor and regenerate on the ceiling a few seconds later. Mario and [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] can use it as a platform. In the original, they are silent, whereas in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], they produce a sound like the icicles.
