'''Roto-Discs''' were one of the more annoying traps [[Mario]] encountered in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Though not technically a living creature, the Roto-Disc still posed a hazard to Mario. While Mario could safely stand on the ball that the Roto-Disc revolved around, touching the Roto-Disc would hurt him. Sometimes they would come in pairs as well. The only way for Mario to eliminate a Roto-Disc was to [[Jump]] on it while in Statue Mario form, only possible while wearing a [[Tanooki Suit]]. They're usually positioned so that a small passage will become a death trap if Mario doesn't time his moves.  
'''Roto-Discs''' are [[fireball]]-like entities first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Roto-Discs are only found circleling gray orbs, which either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can stand on; Roto-Discs are nearly indestructable, and can only be destroyed by having Mario or Luigi transform into a statue by using a [[Tanooki Suit]] and having them land on top of a Roto-Discs gray orb. Aside from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and it's subsequent remakes, the only other appearance of Roto-Discs was in Mini-Mario course in [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', as obstacles that are capable of defeating Mario in one hit.
