'''''Super Mario Bros. 2''''' is the second game in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series outside Japan and the third entry overall. It is a 2D [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] originally released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America in 1988. In the years that followed, it has been ported to many other systems, including a release on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]] in 2007, the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2012, and the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in 2013. As a result of Japan already having a ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (known in English as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe#Super Mario Bros. for Super Players|Super Mario Bros. for Super Players]]''), the game did not make its debut in the country until after the release of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', on September 14, 1992, making it Japan's fifth installment of the series. {{more|Super Mario Bros. 2}}
'''[[Skewer]]s''' (also known as '''Spikes''' and '''Spike Pillars''') are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down [[Mario]] if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.

Super Mario Maker (New Super Mario Bros. U style) Skewer

Skewers (also known as Spikes and Spike Pillars) are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in Super Mario World, their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down Mario if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.
