'''Screwtops''', also rendered as '''screw-tops'''<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2009|page=31}}</ref> and originally known as '''bolts'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Galaxy Instruction Booklet''|url=https://csassets.nintendo.com/noaext/image/private/t_KA_PDF/Wii_Super_Mario_Galaxy?_a=BATCtdAA0|location=Redmond|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|date=2007|page=21}}</ref> or '''screws''',<ref>{{cite|title=''New Super Mario Bros.

They are embedded into terrain and twirl when the player character performs a spin move on top of them, causing the platform they are on to move or triggering a nearby event.

[[Tail Wheel]]s and [[Cat Wheel]]s are comparable to Screwtops.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', bolts most often occur in industrialized [[Galaxy|galaxies]], such as the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and [[Buoy Base Galaxy]]. Performing a [[spin]] while on top of a bolt embeds it into the ground and triggers a nearby event, such as the shifting of a platform. Bolts are very similar to [[valve]]s, green objects that usually release [[Star Bit]]s when spun. There are two varieties of bolts: a '''blue screw'''<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Super Mario Galaxy: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|format=Collector's Edition|location=Roseville|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=2007|page=104}}</ref> with a Phillips head, and a '''gold screw'''<ref name=pg238>{{cite|author=Black|page=238}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=258}}</ref> (also called a '''golden bolt''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=160}}</ref> '''yellow screw''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black|page=236}}</ref> and '''golden screw'''<ref name=pg238/>) with a slotted head. Both bolts often appear together in the same galaxies. During [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]], blue and gold screws are embedded into the body of [[Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser|Mecha-Bowser]]. Unscrewing them causes its body to fall apart. In the Buoy Base Galaxy, a gold screw is attached to a [[Ball Beamer]] and disengages it when spun. A bolt can only be used once, flattening it with the surrounding ground.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
Screws are incorporated into the tops of [[Screwtop Lift]]s and [[Screwtop Shroom]]s that are found throughout the games. [[Spin Jump|Spinning]] a screw causes the platform to quickly shift positioning before slowing returning to its starting point. Unlike ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the screws can be spun an indefinite amount of times. Screws appear independently of these platforms in {{world link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where spinning them causes metal obstacles to temporarily move out of place.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
Screwtops appear as they did in the previous game in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being incorporated into various platforms. They first appear in [[Stoneslide Tower]] as part of [[Screwtop Platform]]s. They are not physically incorporated into these platforms, instead being a fixture on the nearby ground. Spinning a Screwtop causes its assocated platform to shift their positioning along a [[track]]. These Screwtops are brown and resemble the steering wheels of ancient vessels. The Screwtops part of Screwtop Lifts are metal, as they were in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

Screwtops subsequently appear in [[Screwtop Tower]], [[Stoneslide Tower Climb]], and [[Screwtop It Up]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they appear in [[Wind-Up Tower]] and [[Sumo Bro's Spinning Tower]].
