'''Fling Poles''' are objects in the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are tall blue springs, each topped by an orange sphere. They function similarly to [[Pole (bollard)|Pole]]s and [[Volbonan]]s when Mario [[capture]]s them in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', allowing him to propel himself forwards a great distance. By climbing the blue spring of the Fling Pole to reach the top, [[Mario]] performs a [[handstand]], similarly to when he climbs [[pole]]s and [[tree]]s. From the top, the player can pull {{button|switch|leftstick}} backwards and aim with it and {{button|switch|rightstick}}. When {{button|switch|leftstick}} is released, Mario is sent flying forwards, and once he touches the ground, he automatically [[dash]]es for a short amount of time. While {{button|switch|leftstick}} is pulled back, the player can press {{button|switch|B}} to cancel the action and allow Mario to fall to the ground without being flung.

Most Fling Poles are placed consecutively to help reach a [[Cat Shine]]. To complete the mission Gazing over the Falls, Mario must fling between four Fling Poles to reach an island in the sky. To complete the mission Toad Brigade: Cuddly Castaway, Mario must fling between three Fling Poles (with an optional one to the side housing a [[Super Bell]] in a [[bubble]]) to reach and rescue [[Banktoad]]. Additionally, one Fling Pole is placed near the Ruins [[Giga Bell]], one is on the floating island where the "Gazing Down at the Islands" Cat Shine is collected, and two consecutive Fling Poles are placed to the northeast of [[Clawswipe Colosseum]]. Two Fling Poles are also on top of Clawswipe Colosseum, and they can be used to collect the final [[Cat Shine Shard]] of the island and complete its mission Five Cat Shine Shards.

Fling Poles can also appear on top of every [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouse]] across [[Lake Lapcat]]. By collecting the five Cat Shines of an island, a Fling Pole appears atop the island's lighthouse and raises a golden flag that has cat ears and Mario's [[emblem]] on it. These flags resemble those of [[Goal Pole]]s and [[Checkpoint Flag]]s.

[[Boomerang Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]] can throw a [[boomerang]] or [[fireball]], respectively, at a Fling Pole to make it sway back and forth for a brief moment; the amount it sways is dependent on whether the projectile hits the Fling Pole's base, center, or top.
