| The '''Wire Spin''', also referred to as the '''Bar Spin''',<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] digital manual (American English). Tab 12: "Advanced Controls".</ref> is an ability that characters can use when they grab on to taut [[wire]]s or horizontal bars, where the characters continuously rotate around them, much like a gymnastic skill known as the {{wp|Giant (gymnastics)|giant}}, for a higher [[jump]]. A similar move, known as the [[Super Whirl Jump]], appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. | | |
| | The '''Wire Spin''' is an ability [[Mario]] can use when he grabs onto [[Wire]]s. |

| The Wire Spin's first appearance is in [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|''Donkey Kong'']] for the [[Game Boy]]. In the game, [[Mario]] can use the ability when the player holds {{button|padup}}; the longer {{button|padup}} is held, the faster he spins, and the higher and/or farther he can jump afterwards (depending on wire orientation). The player can also press {{button|paddown}} or let go of the D-Pad to make Mario slow down or stop. He can either do a small jump to make sure he does not go into a dangerous hazard (such as a bed of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s) by jumping too far, or do a larger jump to make it over large hazards or reach places he cannot reach normally. | | The Wire Spin's first and only appearance is in [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]] for the [[Game Boy]]. There Mario can use it while pressing up on the D-Pad to reach places he couldn't reach such as high heights or areas over a large gap of [[Spikes]] or other dangerous hazards, Mario can either do a small jump to reach lower heights or make sure he doesn't go into a dangerous hazard by jumping to far or a large jump to go to large heights or make it over large hazards. |

| The move returns in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], as well as [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]], where it is executed the same way as in ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy. Since the Nintendo Switch remake features two-player co-op gameplay, [[Toad]] can perform this move as well. | | The move returns in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', behaving exactly the same as in ''Donkey Kong'' for the Game Boy. |

| In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', [[Wario]] can perform a Bar Spin<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/20080924150410/http://www.wariolandshakeit.com/launch/index.html|title=North American website for ''Wario Land: Shake It!''|accessdate=May 11, 2024|deadlink=y}}</ref> when he comes in contact with a horizontal bar or rope, latching on to it automatically. As Wario hangs from the bar, he swings around it when the player shakes the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. When the player presses the {{button|wii|2}} button, Wario can maneuver to another bar. He must be careful to time his jumps from one bar to the next; he may be injured by enemy forces.
