'''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 obstacles introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are [[Spike Ball]]-like bombs that are not always shown to be explosive.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''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=''{{iw|nwiki|Nintendo Power Advance}}'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=71|author=Tsuboike, Yoshio, et al.|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us}}</ref> are obstacles in ''Super Mario World''. They appear as spiked balls with a wooden texture and pulsate with spikes. Mines are first encountered in [[Yoshi's Island 4]], where they drift in the water, following the current continuously. [[Yoshi]] can step on a mine without taking harm and eat them. A Mine can be defeated from the effects of a [[Super Star]]. Mines are later encountered in [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], where many are in free fall, 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.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
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's Time Machine''===
[[File:Mine MTMDX.png|frame|left]]
Mines are obstacles in the [[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|PC]] and [[Mario's Time Machine (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES versions of ''Mario's Time Machine'']]. They appear while Mario is surfing around only. In the PC version, hitting a mine causes Mario to lose only one [[mushroom]], whereas in the SNES version, hitting a mine causes Mario to lose all of them. In both cases, the mines are not explosive.

===''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''===
[[File:WL Course07 start.png|thumb|A mine in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'']]
Mines are obstacles in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. They can be found on the ground, where they can be picked up, or floating in underwater, where they can interrupt a [[Dash Attack|Body Slam]]. If interacted with, they proceed to flash and then soon explode, causing damage. The [[Pecan]] enemy can also spit mines that sink and automatically explode.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 2''====
Mines are obstacles in the minigame [[Deep Sea Salvage]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. They are thrown in an arc among [[Coin]]s and [[coin bag]]s by a [[Hammer Bro]] on a ship. Like the other objects, they sink directly downward when they land in the water. They explode if they hit a player, stunning them for several seconds. Unlike the other objects, they also explode if they touch the ground on either side of the screen.

====''Mario Party 3'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''====
Mines (referred to as bombs) are obstacles in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Chase]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. The characters can avoid mines by diving under them.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3''===
Floating mines are obstacles in the remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. They appear during the "Disarm" mission of [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]], where the goal is to take four mines from a [[Kremling]], each one at a time, and have them detonate in a designated space.

===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Mines are obstacles in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They have a similar role as floating [[Spike Trap|spike]]s from ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Mines are seen floating in the air and explode upon contact.

=== ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' ===
Balloon-like mines can be found in the [[Mad Skillathon]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', acting as obstacles in the [[Dropchopper]] and [[Star Rocket]] challenges. In the latter, they are called "damage balloons." When crashed into in the former, they merely cost time. In the latter, they destroy the titular object, ending the run. These mines are black with a white cross on their face and what appears to be an electrical aura around them.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
Several types of mines appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. In the [[Boilerworks]], mines remain still and flash red when approached, exploding after a seconds. In the [[ScreamPark]] minigame Coin Floating, two types of mines appear. There is a normal type resembling a [[Spike Ball]], and a homing type that acts as a [[bomb]]. The later moves toward the nearest player, and when close, it flashes red and eventually blows up. In the ScreamPark minigame Floaty Frenzy, mines are periodically dropped onto the field to block certain ways, and explode by themselves after some time passes or if touched by a player. They can pop Luigi's inflatable duck boat and make him drown, losing 20 [[Heart Point|HP]].
