This article is about the recurring object. For the capturable object also appearing in Super Mario Odyssey, see Pole (bollard).

Template:Item-infobox Poles are objects appearing in several Mario platforming games. In nearly all games they appear in, the player can grab onto them and move up and down on them before jumping off, but cannot do a handstand on them.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

Poles first appear in Super Mario 64 and its remake, where they appear in Dire, Dire Docks, specifically during the mission Pole-Jumping for Red Coins. They are yellow-and-black objects attached to ceilings.

Super Mario Sunshine

Poles return in Super Mario Sunshine, appearing in certain areas of Ricco Harbor. They behave as they did in Super Mario 64.

New Super Mario Bros.

A single pole appears in New Super Mario Bros., specifically in World 3-Castle following the trio of Whomps. It is striped yellow and white, and behaves the same as in past installments.

Super Mario Galaxy

Poles also appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They are more rectangular than in past games and thus only allow the player to grab it at four cardinal angles, but otherwise behave in the same way. A handful appear in the Star Chip segment of the Gusty Garden Galaxy mission Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble, one appears in the Freezeflame Galaxy mission Freezeflame's Blistering Core, another appears in the Bowser's Dark Matter Plant mission Darkness on the Horizon just before the antimatter patches, and a few appear as popsicle sticks in the Toy Time Galaxy mission Bouncing Down Cake Lane.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Poles return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, behaving the same as in New Super Mario Bros., though they are now striped purple and white. They only appear in the second room of World 3-Ghost House.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Poles return in New Super Mario Bros. 2, having the same color scheme as in New Super Mario Bros., and otherwise behaving the same as in past installments. Only five appear in the second room of World 5-Ghost House.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Poles return in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, having the same color scheme as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and otherwise behaving the same as in past installments. They are much more common, appearing in the levels Haunted Shipwreck, Which-Way Labyrinth, Spinning Spirit House, and World Coin-6 in the former, and in the levels Haunted Cargo Hold and Porcupuffer Cavern in the latter.

Super Mario Odyssey

Poles return in Super Mario Odyssey, featuring the same behavior as in past games. They appear in New Donk City Hall Interior in the Metro Kingdom, and in the first section of the Darker Side.
