'''Spike Bars''' are spiky obstacles encountered chiefly in ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games. They are similar to [[Fire Bar]]s, but with spiked balls in place of [[fireball]]s. They usually can be destroyed with certain [[power-up]] forms, whereas Fire Bars are completely indestructible. If characters come in contact with a Spike Bar, they take damage.

Spiked rollers reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In [[Spike's Lost City]], some spiked rollers roll perpetually on pendulum platforms. In [[Spooky Seasick Wreck]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], spiked rollers move gently back and forth with the swaying of the large boats. In [[Red-Hot Run]], some spiked rollers move back and forth on their own, while the others rotate in the air as groups of four, around a fixed axis. In [[Boiling Blue Bully Belt]] and [[Broken Blue Bully Belt]], groups of two or four spiked rollers rotate in the air around a fixed axis, either horizontally or vertically. In [[Footlight Lane]], many individual spiked rollers roll around circular invisible platforms, in a portion of the level after the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. The last group of spiked rollers must be navigated to reach a [[Green Star Ring]] and collect the second [[Green Star]] of the level. In [[The Bowser Express]] and [[Champion's Road]], several spiked rollers swing back and forth on chains.

Spike Bars are spiky obstacles that are similar to Fire Bars but with small spiked balls in place of fireballs. They usually can be destroyed with certain power-up forms, whereas Fire Bars are completely indestructible. If characters come in contact with a Spike Bar, they take damage.

History[edit]

Wario Land: Shake It![edit]

Wario navigating a Rocket Bucket around several spike poles in Launchpad Labyrinth
Spike poles in Wario Land: Shake It!

In Wario Land: Shake It!, Spike Bars, referred to as spike poles[1] or spiky poles,[2] appear in levels that feature Rocket Buckets, such as Airytale Castle and Launchpad Labyrinth. They extend out of a metallic pivot and start rotating around it the moment Wario mounts a Rocket Bucket, retracting when the vehicle is destroyed or abandoned. Spike poles appear with varying lengths, are indestructible, and are always surrounded with coins, collectable by carefully navigating between the bars. If Wario flies a Rocket Bucket into a spike pole, the vehicle breaks, forcing him to plummet to solid ground. Since they appear only when a Rocket Bucket is in use, spike poles cannot hurt Wario directly.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Contrary to Fire Bars, which mostly appear in lava-themed levels, Spike Bars are found in a variety of level themes throughout Super Mario 3D Land. One or two Spike Bars can be found rotating around the same axis, but unlike Fire Bars, Spike Bars never rotate on their sides. If Mario or Luigi makes contact with a Spike Bar in his Statue form, it breaks and releases several coins.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Spike Bars return in Super Mario Run as obstacles in the level Spike Bar Jungle. This time, the spiked balls that make up the Spike Bar are redesigned to be green with yellow spikes, making them resemble the Spike Balls as held up by River Piranha Plants in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or the spike balls that appear in some courses of Super Mario 3D World. In this game, the bar is also connected to a Hard Block with a cog. Albeit indestructible in this game, Spike Bars can be bounced on safely by Yoshis.
