Pages 47-49.</ref> '''Exit Gates''',<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide.

They replaced the [[Goal Pole]]s and roulette [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]]s from the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series and look similar to the smaller [[Midway Gate]]s—however, the tape between the two blue-and-white-striped posts moves up and down. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits the bar, they not only finish the level but also get [[Goal Star]]s. The higher the tape is when hit, the more Goal Stars they get (ranged from 1 to 30, then 40, and then 50 at the top) per gate. 100 of them will give the player access to a [[Bonus Game (Super Mario World)|Bonus Game]].

All enemies and items on the screen will turn into [[coin]]s when Mario touches the gate; defeating five or more enemies this way will give [[extra life|extra lives]].

If Mario manages to collect all 50 of a single gate's Goal Stars, he will be additionally rewarded with three 1-Ups. If he carries an item (such as a [[key]] or [[Trampoline|Jumping Board]]) through the gate, he will receive a power-up based on his current status and his [[Item Storage|Reserve Item]]. If the last two digits of the [[Time Limit|timer]] are a multiple of eleven (including 00), and the same as the tens digit of the number of Goal Stars Mario receives, he will be given a 1-Up. If all these conditions are met, and Mario completes the Bonus Game perfectly, it is possible to receive a total of 13 1-Ups upon returning to the map.

If the player passes the gate without hitting the tape, the tape turns into a coin, and no Goal Stars are rewarded.

Giant Gates are often protected by [[List of enemies|enemies]], especially [[Chargin' Chuck]]s. Though this may hinder the player from finishing the level, it also gives them the chance to get a high number of Goal Stars by [[jump]]ing on the enemy, which allows them to to reach the tape when it is at the top of the gate.

Giant Gates return in the ''Super Mario World'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. However, instead of Goal Stars, the player gets either 500, 1,000, 2,500, or 4,000 points, or a 1-Up depending on where the tape is when it is hit, similar to a flagpole, as levels are standalone in this game. The tape also must be hit to complete the level; going through the gate without hitting it does nothing. However, in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', it is once again possible to complete the level by passing through the gate without needing to hit the tape, as in the original ''Super Mario World''; in this case, no points are rewarded. Moreover, in levels with clear conditions in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', the Giant Gate appears as a dashed outline and is fully revealed only once the condition has been met.<ref>Gaming Boulevard (May 28, 2019).
