Editing Mine

'''Mines''' (either capitalized<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=58 and 137}}</ref> or lowercase<ref>{{cite|quote=Make sure you catch enough mushrooms to enter the time tunnel. And watch out for mines and sharks!|author='''Hints'''|title=''Mario's Time Machine''|date=1994}}</ref>) are [[Spike Ball]]-like [[bomb]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Despite their name, they are not always shown to be explosive.

In ''Super Mario World'', Mines, also referred to as '''Floating Mines''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=52}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=71|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in [[Yoshi's Island 4]] as spiked balls with a wooden texture that drift in the water. They follow the current continuously and pulsate with spikes. [[Yoshi]] can step on their spikes harmlessly and eat them, and a [[Super Star]] can defeat them. In the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], many are in free fall, making it difficult for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to move around, and slowly rise to the surface when landing in the water.

 

[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World (SNES)/Sprites#Animations|Smaller, multicolored, and more balloon-like versions of Floating Mines attached to poles]] resembling a [[Midway Gate]] were [[list of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|planned]] to appear in the game.

Mines, simply called '''bombs''' in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and also called '''spiked orbs''' in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=43 and 125|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996}}</ref> and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', play a vital role in defeating [[Bowser]]. In the final arenas of [[Bowser in the Dark World]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]], where the bombs surround the arena, Mario, Luigi, or [[Wario]] has to throw Bowser into one of the bombs to defeat him (three in Bowser in the Sky). If the player jumps into one of the bombs, it will blow up and they will take two wedges of damage.

[[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|There was also going to be]] [[tcrf:Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)/Unused Objects & Models#Water Mine|a smaller, water-based variant]], but it was cut out from the final.

====''Mario Party 3'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''====

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', mines (referred to as bombs) appear in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Chase]], where they are in the way of the players, who are being pursued by a giant [[Cheep Cheep]]. To get around them, the players must dive.
