Big Goal Poles[1] are a type of goal in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World. They are found in the final courses of each world, making them analogous to the Grand Stars of prior games, as well as Multi Moons and Royal Seeds. Unlike normal Goal Poles, Big Goal Poles initially have broad flags in place of pennants, but they otherwise function the same way and are part of Goal Pole-related completion requirements in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World. Like the other Goal Poles, Big Goal Poles are always proceeded by a staircase made of blocks or platforms, and their flags turn gold if the player character grabs them at their very tops.
The area where Big Goal Poles occur typically only become accessible when the course's boss. The only exceptions are Special 7-
Castle in Super Mario 3D Land, the only castle course in the game to not feature a boss, and Special 8-
Crown and Champion's Road, the final levels of their respective games.
Although Big Goal Poles themselves do not appear in Super Mario Maker 2, the flag of the Goal Pole seen in the castle theme of the Super Mario 3D World style is modeled after that of a Big Goal Pole.
