'''Spike Bars''' are obstacles that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are similar to [[Fire Bar]]s, but have spiked balls in place of [[fireball]]s and can usually be destroyed by means of a [[Statue Leaf]] or [[Lucky Bell]], whereas Fire Bars are completely indestructible. They can inflict damage on the player, causing them to lose a power-up form, shrink down in size or lose a life.

Contrary to Fire Bars, which mostly appear in only [[lava]]-themed [[level]]s, Spike Bars are found in a multitude of levels throughout the game. As with Fire Bars, there can be two Spike Bars rotating around the same axis, though unlike Fire Bars, there are no varieties of Spike Bar which rotate on their side or have more than two bars rotating around the same axis. They will break if they come into contact with [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in their [[Statue Mario|statue]] forms, releasing several [[coin]]s.

Spike Bars return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', though their appearance has changed; they now look more like spiked rollers rolling around a center than Fire Bars. Also, they are only seen with two or four bars rotating around the same axis. Spike Bars are found only in [[Boiling Blue Bully Belt]] and [[Broken Blue Bully Belt]]. Additionally, [[Spike]]s attack by producing unattached Spike Bars and throwing them forward, which roll down the path in front of them. Other individual Spike Bars can also be found rolling on pendulum platforms, or swinging back and forth via two 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]

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.
