Spike Traps can be stationary, retractable, or attached to a moving object. They are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They function similarly to the [[Icicle]]s from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''; however, Spike Traps fall differently.

==History==

===''Super Mario'' series===

Spikes return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They can face in any of the cardinal directions. Spikes can be crossed harmlessly by wearing a [[Goomba's Shoe]], but the player character still takes damage if touching one from the side or on the head. The [[World-e]] level [[Castle Dash]] of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' has large circular spike objects that float in place, also appearing with moving ones in the [[Orange Mushroom House]].

Spikes are obstacles throughout the ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' series. They can defeat the playable characters instantly but not enemies, which walk across them without taking damage. Spikes bob up and down slightly. They have a variety of appearances throughout the series. They are depicted generically in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and point upward only. Spikes have a red metallic base framing them in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. Spikes from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' onward also cover walls and ceilings. Each row of spikes in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' and ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'' has two additional smaller spikes on its sides, and the middle spikes appear shorter than in previous entries of the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
