In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Wire Traps are found in [[Bianco Hills]] and [[Noki Bay]]. They are either red or blue in color and resemble spiral-shaped seashells that are covered in spikes. Glowing sparks of electricity emit from their centers as they cling to a wire and move along it by spinning themselves. Red ones are the most common, and they normally grow from a funnel on one side, travel to the other, and then disappear. However, ones found in Noki Bay instead slowly follow Mario along the rope. Blue Wire Traps, also exclusive to Noki Bay, are bigger and much slower than their red counterparts, and they constantly go back and forth between ends of the rope without disappearing. If Mario touches a Wire Trap, he will get burned and may fall off the rope. The player can slightly hinder the Wire Traps' progress by spraying water on them with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. The only way to avoid them is to [[jump]] over them. As they move, they make a low chirping noise, similar to that of a real-life hermit crab. | In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Wire Traps are found in [[Bianco Hills]] and [[Noki Bay]].

A Wire Trap[1][2] is an indestructible faceless type of Spark that moves on wires and ropes rather than platforms.
History
Donkey Kong
Wire Traps are introduced in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, where they are first seen in Stage 1-3 of the Big-City. They travel from the left to the right of their wire, disappearing once they reach the end, and spawn at regular intervals. Upon contact, Wire Traps can shock Mario and cause him to lose a life. They resemble balls with four diagonal needle-like protrusions that constantly emit electricity between them in a pattern resembling that of a Jacob's ladder.
Super Mario Sunshine
In Super Mario Sunshine, Wire Traps are found in Bianco Hills and Noki Bay. They are either red or blue in color and resemble spiral-shaped seashells that are covered in spikes. Glowing sparks of electricity emit from their centers as they cling to a wire and move along it by spinning themselves. Red ones are the most common, and they normally grow from a funnel on one side, travel to the other, and then disappear. However, ones found in Noki Bay instead slowly follow Mario along the rope. Blue Wire Traps, also exclusive to Noki Bay, are bigger and much slower than their red counterparts, and they constantly go back and forth between ends of the rope without disappearing. If Mario touches a Wire Trap, he will get burned and may fall off the rope. The player can slightly hinder the Wire Traps' progress by spraying water on them with FLUDD. The only way to avoid them is to jump over them. As they move, they make a low chirping noise, similar to that of a real-life hermit crab.
Super Mario-kun
A Wire Trap appears in Super Mario-kun, where Mario gets shocked by the obstacle.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Wire Traps periodically travel through wires just as they did in the Game Boy game Donkey Kong, and they retain their ability to shock Mario upon contact, which causes him to lose a life. They are first encountered in Level 1-4.
New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
In New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Wire Traps appear starting in Desert Oasis, where they are blue with small eyes. They travel along floating noninteractive rails of various shapes, with lines containing circular points to end their path. The ones with points on their rails are faster, though most pause before traveling to the other point. Rectangular rails contain more than one on them. They make a technological beeping sound when nearby, similar to the background of Mario's Hideout from Donkey Kong Jr.
