'''Spike Bars''' are spiky obstacles that are similar to [[Fire Bar]]s but with small [[Spike Ball|spiked balls]] in place of [[fireball]]s. They usually can be destroyed with certain [[list of power-ups|power-up]] forms, whereas Fire Bars are completely indestructible. If characters come in contact with a Spike Bar, they take damage.
'''Spike Bars''' are spiky obstacles encountered chiefly in ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. They are similar to [[Fire Bar]]s, but with spiked balls in place of [[fireball]]s.

In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', Spike Bars, referred to as '''spike poles'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''Wario Land: Shake It!'' PRIMA Official Strategy Guide. Pages 166-169.</ref> or '''spiky poles''',<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''Wario Land: Shake It!'' PRIMA Official Strategy Guide. Page 96.</ref> appear in levels that feature [[Rocket Bucket]]s, such as [[Airytale Castle]] and [[Launchpad Labyrinth]]. They extend out of a metallic pivot and start rotating around it the moment [[Wario]] mounts a Rocket Bucket, retracting when the vehicle is destroyed or abandoned. Spike poles appear with varying lengths, are indestructible, and are always surrounded with [[coin]]s, collectable by carefully navigating in-between the bars. If Wario flies a Rocket Bucket into a spike pole, the vehicle breaks, forcing Wario to plummet to solid ground. Since they only appear when a Rocket Bucket is in use, spike poles cannot hurt Wario directly.

Contrary to Fire Bars, which mostly appear in [[lava]]-themed levels, Spike Bars are found in a variety of level themes throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. One or two Spike Bars can be found rotating around the same axis, but unlike Fire Bars, Spike Bars never rotate on their sides. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] makes contact with a Spike Bar in his [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], it breaks and releases several coins.

Objects similar to Spike Bars, known as '''spiked rollers''',<ref>Profile for Spike in ''Mario Party: Star Rush''. "''Spikes use their immense strength to hurl spiked rollers that are even bigger than they are!''"</ref> also appear. They automatically roll back and forth along the ground, though they are occasionally swung by chains, giving them vertical movement.
 
If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] make contact with a Spike Bar or spiked roller in their [[Statue Mario|Statue]] forms, it breaks and releases several [[coin]]s.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DWBF Spiked Roller.jpg|thumb|x100px|A spiked roller thrown by a Spike in [[Spike's Lost City]]]]
Spiked rollers reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In [[Spike's Lost City]], some spiked rollers roll perpetually on pendulum platforms. In [[Spooky Seasick Wreck]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], spiked rollers move gently back and forth with the swaying of the large boats. In [[Red-Hot Run]], some spiked rollers move back and forth on their own, while the others rotate in the air as groups of four, around a fixed axis. In [[Boiling Blue Bully Belt]] and [[Broken Blue Bully Belt]], groups of two or four spiked rollers rotate in the air around a fixed axis, either horizontally or vertically. In [[Footlight Lane]], many individual spiked rollers roll around circular invisible platforms, in a portion of the level after the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. The last group of spiked rollers must be navigated to reach a [[Green Star Ring]] and collect the second [[Green Star]] of the level. In [[The Bowser Express]] and [[Champion's Road]], several spiked rollers swing back and forth on chains.
 
[[Spike]]s attack by producing spiked rollers and throwing them forward, which roll down the path in front of them. All spiked roller varieties can be destroyed by characters if they assume an invincible state, which includes the [[Lucky Cat Mario|Lucky Cat]], [[Invincible Mario|Invincible]], [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki]], or [[White Cat Mario|White Cat]] forms.
 
[[File:Catspike.png|x100px|thumb|left|A Cat Spike holding a spiked roller]]
In ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', {{conjectural|Cat Spikes}} throw spiked rollers identically to normal Spikes during the "So Close Yet So Far" mission of [[Trickity Tower]]. After this mission is completed, if Mario leaves the area and returns, the Cat Spikes will permanently disappear from the area.


====''Super Mario Run''====
====''Super Mario Run''====
Spike Bars return in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as obstacles in the level [[Spike Bar Jungle]]. This time, the spiked balls that make up the Spike Bar are redesigned to be green with yellow spikes, making them resemble the Spike Balls as held up by [[River Piranha Plant]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', or the [[spike ball (seed)|spike ball]]s that appear in some courses of ''Super Mario 3D World''. In this game, the bar is also connected to a [[Hard Block]] with a cog. Albeit indestructible in this game, Spike Bars can be bounced on safely by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]].
[[File:SMR Spike Bar.png|thumb|A Spike Bar in ''Super Mario Run'']]
Spike Bars return in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as obstacles in the level [[Spike Bar Jungle]], and are designed to look closer to their original appearance from ''Super Mario 3D Land'', but with extra spikes. This is its only appearance where the bar is connected to a [[Hard Block]] with a cog. Albeit indestructible in this game, Spike Bars can be bounced on safely by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]].

[[File:MRKB Spike.jpg|thumb|230px|left|A spiked roller in ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'']]
A spiked roller can be found at Underwater Village, a location in [[Spooky Trails]] from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. It is stuck between some plants grown away from the main path. [[Beep-0]] notes that whoever owned the spiked roller left the area quickly, claiming this to be "an ominous sign". The weapons [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Spike Strike|Spike Strike]] and [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Big Spike|Big Spike]] are designed after spiked rollers, though their description refers to them as [[Skewer]]s.
 
===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', [[Spike]] produces a spiked roller and uses it to hit the tennis ball in his [[Special Shot#Mario Tennis Aces|Special Shot]].
