Spike Pillars is a black, spiked pillar. First appearing in Super Mario World, they can cause an instant life loss if they're able to crush the player. In later games, however, the player can actually run through them.

All pillars are vertical in Super Mario World, but there are some horizontal pillars in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Also, New Super Mario Bros. Wii does feature some even larger spike pillars in World 6-Tower and World 7-Castle.

Donkey Kong Country Returns also contains some spiked pillars in the level, Jagged Jewels.
