Roto-discs are found orbiting gray or red orbs, on which it is possible for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to stand. Roto-discs are nearly invulnerable; they can be destroyed if [[Statue Mario]] lands on top of one. '''Duo-Roto-Discs'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 59.</ref> can also be found, which consist of two Roto-discs circling the central orb. If the player destroys one, the other will disappear.

Aside from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its subsequent remakes, the only other appearance of Rotodiscs is in the [[Mini-Mario]] course in [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. As a throwback to the previous games, they are obstacles that will send Mario back to the beginning of the area if they connect with him.

''[[Super Mario Land]]'' contains [[Kaitensuru Honō]], which are fiery orbs that similarly orbit a [[block]] and share the same attack pattern.

''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' also contains an enemy known as a [[Guruguri]] in the [[Mario Zone]], which behaves in a similar fashion.
