| |first_appearance=''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' ([[List of games by date#2006|2006]]) | | A ''Red Flagpole'' is an uncommon exit introduced in the ''New Super Mario Bros. Series''. Red Flagpoles are often found when a secret exit is discovered. Going down a Red Flagpole and into the secret exit makes a path to shortcuts, such as a [[Warp Pipe]] on the map,[[Toad House]]s, [[Cannon]]s, and sometimes, secret levels. The Red Flagpole acts like a regular [[Flagpole]], but marks the way to a secret exit. |

| ===''New Super Mario Bros.'' series=== | | ===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''=== |
| Secret Goal Poles make their debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', with red flags instead of black ones, and reappear in every other ''New Super Mario Bros.'' game. From ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' onwards, they appear alongside dark gray [[fortress]]es and flagpole bases.
| | ===World 1-3=== |
| | [[File:Redpole1.jpg|500px|thumb|left|The first Red Flagpole in World 1-3]]Just before Star Coin #3 is a secret area the [[Player]] can access high above the ground which is on revealed when Mario stumbles into it -- there are several coins in the hidden area. The hidden exit is actually above this secret area. Mario can get up there with the help of Yoshi or a [[Propeller Mushroom]]. Mario has to run to the right at the very top of the screen, past Star Coin #3, into a hidden pipe. On the other side there is the first Red Flagpole signifying the hidden exit. |

| ===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''=== | | ===World 2-4=== |
| Secret Goal Poles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', including one in [[Bulrush Coming Through!]] with an extremely tall pole. They award an additional [[Wonder Seed]] that is hidden from the overworld and [[level]]-selection screen. Five levels—[[Jump! Jump! Jump! (level)|Jump! Jump! Jump!]], [[The Final Trial: Zip Track Dash]], [[An Uncharted Area: Wubba Ruins]], [[Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins]], and [[A Final Uncharted Area: Poison Ruins]]—feature normal Goal Poles with black bases and no fortresses similarly to the secret ones to denote fake exits, which do not award a Wonder Seed.

| | Mario will need the [[Propeller Suit]] to get to the end of the secret stage. At the very end of the level, just before the pipe leading to the last stretch with the flag, there's an area high above with a pipe in it. It's seemingly sealed off from the level, but Mario can access this area, from the left side, with the help of the [[Wind]]. Mario's starting point for this maneuver is the platform with the the [[Spike Top]] below the secret area. Mario must wait for the wind to begin to pick up, run, jump and spin towards the secret area. The wind will push Mario into the wall, allowing him to wall-jump up out of sight above the screen, falling into the secret area. The red pipe will lead to a Red Flagpole. |

| | Near the middle of the level, there is a room in the Boo House where Mario and Co. must climb across the room on a rope. The player must guide Mario to where there is a moving platform. Instead of dropping onto the platform, Mario must drop down, to where a secret door is hidden. Past the door, there is an elevator where Mario must avoid multiple [[Boo]]s. After the elevator, the door leads to the next Red Flagpole. |
