| Variant of | Pipe Fist |
Mechanical fists[1][2] are obstacles in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are variants of Pipe Fists. If Mario steps on the wrong trigger panel in the Mario's castle level, a giant fist trap in the resemblance of Wario's glove comes crashing down, pounding the floor with spiked brass knuckles at immense speed (although it is slower on Easy Mode). Mario has to get past three of these traps in total in order to reach Wario and rid him from Mario's castle.
In the Kodansha manga, a mechanical fist is depicted as the literal fist of a giant-sized Wario.
