Template:Species-infobox Roto-discs[1] (also spelled Rotodiscs[2], Roto-Discs[3][4] or Roto Discs[5][6]) are Fire-Bar-like obstacles that first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. Roto-discs are found orbiting gray or red orbs, on which it is possible for Mario or Luigi to stand. Roto-discs are nearly invulnerable; they can only be destroyed if the player transforms into a statue by using the Tanooki Suit and lands on top of one. Duo-Roto-Discs[7] can also be found, which consist of two Roto-discs circling the central orb. If the player destroys one using the Tanooki Suit, the other will disappear.
Aside from Super Mario Bros. 3 and its subsequent remakes, the only other appearance of Rotodiscs is in the Mini-Mario course in Bowser's Castle in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. As a throwback to the previous games, they are obstacles that will send Mario back to the beginning of the area if they connect with him.
Super Mario Land contains Kaitensuru Honō, which are fiery orbs that similarly orbit a block and share the same attack pattern.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins also contains an enemy known as a Satellite in the Mario Zone, which behaves in a similar fashion to a Roto-disc.
