A '''Grinder''' is a spinning circular saw blade that acts as a hazard in several ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:Grinder Perfect.png|thumb|120px|A Grinder from the ''[[Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten]]''.]]
Grinders first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (and its [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|reissue]]) as enemies. Grinders are encountered in some [[Fortress]]es and [[Castle]]s. There are Grinders that travel along [[track]]s, while others travel across the floor. The blades are rather large and cannot be jumped on, although they can be defeated by a [[Slope Slide]] (which displays a [[Glitch|glitchy]] sprite). [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can also [[Spin Jump]] onto a Grinder, which lets them bounce off it without taking any damage. This obstacle first appears in [[Forest Fortress]] and their only other appearance is in [[6 Wendy's Castle|#6 Wendy's Castle]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Screenshot Mandibug.png|thumb|left|Multiple buzz saws in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Grinders (referred to as "buzz saws" in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide) appear in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]] and the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]], where they cut through planks of wood in straight lines or large circular patterns, causing both the section of wood and the buzz saw to fall. When Mario traverses certain parts of a planet or comes close to a buzz saw, it starts moving and any enemy that touches it is defeated. Some simply travel along the edges of planets in inset tracks, not actually cutting through anything. [[Garigari Mini]]s also appear in the game, which are smaller versions that are only ever shown cutting in much smaller curved lines.

</div>

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Grinders also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', behaving like they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They appear only in [[World 7-5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-5]], where they are the primary obstacles for the [[level]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Grinders appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they operate on tracks as they did in ''Super Mario World''. They make clock ticking sound effects and can also jump vertically, if the tracks allow them to. Grinders are among the few obstacles in the game that cannot be destroyed by [[Gold Mario]]'s fireballs, though it is possible to destroy a Grinder by touching it as [[White Raccoon Mario]]. They are extremely common throughout {{world link|3|castlen2|World 3-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, serving as the level's main obstacles. Grinders also appear in {{world link|star|castlen2|World Star-Castle}}, and the [[Third Course (Impossible Pack)|third level]] of the [[Impossible Pack]]. [[Big Grinder]]s also appear in the game.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Grinders reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Their appearance is larger and different than that of previous titles. Because Grinders did not appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', new sprites were made for those styles, and the ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' model is reused for the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style, though a bigger sprite was created for the ''Super Mario World'' style instead of reusing the original sprite. They also cannot be [[Spin Jump]]ed on and are invincible, though they can be jumped on using [[Yoshi]] or a [[Goomba's Shoe]]. Grinders in this game remain floating in place instead of spinning right and left if not connected to a track.

The version 1.30 update allows the player to shake the Grinder, turning it into a [[Bumper (Super Mario series)|Bumper]]. The Bumper will simply cause Mario to bounce off it, and nothing else. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'' Bumpers are now separate objects.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Grinders appear as obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They can be found staying in one spot, or moving on a [[track]].  Grinders appear in [[Cutting-Edge Spire]] and [[Make the Cut!]]. During a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]], stationary Grinders often throw out coins to collect.

===''Yoshi's Story''===

'''Buzz saws'''<ref>{{cite|accessdate=May 21, 2024|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|url=archive.org/details/YoshisStoryOfficialPlayersGuide/page/n116/mode/1up|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=115-117, 119|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They are found abundantly in [[Mecha Castle]] and [[Lift Castle]], and reappear in [[Magma Castle]] in tight spaces. Some buzz saws are permanently connected to walls and need to be [[jump]]ed or crawled past.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
Grinders also appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are only found in [[Chomp Ruins]] where they will hurt Mario if he comes into contact with one.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
A Grinder appears as [[Bowser Jr.]]'s dash attack in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Grinders also appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. They are found in [[Mount Brrr]] as obstacles in the [[Trio Move#Trio Drill|Trio Drill]] sections. If the trio come into contact with one, they will be forced out of the dirt.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Grinders reappear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' as obstacles in level 3 of the [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] microgame.
