“Spikes use their immense strength to hurl spiked rollers that are even bigger than they are!”
—Profile for Spike, Mario Party: Star Rush

Spiked rollers are spiky cylindrical obstacles encountered in the Super Mario franchise. Typically, they roll forwards, and Mario (or another player character) has to jump over them to avoid taking damage. As of Super Mario 3D World, spiked rollers are chiefly thrown by Spike, who, prior to its first 3D platformer outing, had thrown only Spike Balls up until this point.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 3D Land

Special 3-4

Spiked rollers mark their debut in Super Mario 3D Land. They automatically roll back and forth along the ground, though they are occasionally swung by chains, giving them vertical movement. If Mario or Luigi makes contact with a spiked roller in his Statue form, it breaks and releases several coins.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Spiked rollers reappear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. In Spike's Lost City, some spiked rollers roll perpetually on pendulum platforms. In Spooky Seasick Wreck and Gigantic Seasick Wreck, spiked rollers move gently back and forth with the swaying of the large boats. In Red-Hot Run, some spiked rollers move back and forth on their own, while the others rotate in the air as groups of four, around a fixed axis. In Boiling Blue Bully Belt and Broken Blue Bully Belt, groups of two or four spiked rollers rotate in the air around a fixed axis, either horizontally or vertically, similar to Spike Bars. In Footlight Lane, many individual spiked rollers roll around invisible circular platforms, in a portion of the level after the Checkpoint Flag. The last group of spiked rollers must be navigated to reach a Green Star Ring and collect the second Green Star of the level. In The Bowser Express and Champion's Road, several spiked rollers swing back and forth on chains.

Spikes attack by producing spiked rollers and throwing them forward, which roll down the path in front of them. All spiked roller varieties can be destroyed by characters if they assume an invincible state, which includes the Lucky Cat form, Invincible form, White Tanooki form, or White Cat form.

Most long spiked rollers have a Pixel Luigi on the end, including ones thrown by Spikes.

In Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Cat Spikes throw spiked rollers identically to normal Spikes during the mission So Close Yet So Far of Trickity Tower. After this mission is completed, if Mario leaves the area and returns, the Cat Spikes will permanently disappear from the area.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Spiked rollers appear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports, where they are once again thrown by Spike, although only in the level Windup Stairs.

Mario Party: Star Rush

In Mario Party: Star Rush, Spikes produce spiked rollers in Roller Revenge.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a spiked roller can be found at Underwater Village, a location in Spooky Trails. It is stuck between some plants grown away from the main path. Beep-0 notes that whoever owned the spiked roller left the area quickly, claiming this to be "an ominous sign." The weapons Spike Strike and Big Spike are designed after spiked rollers, though their description refers to them as Skewers.

Mario Tennis Aces

In Mario Tennis Aces, Spike produces a spiked roller and uses it to hit the tennis ball in his Special Shot.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, some spiked rollers can be seen in the Spike's quarters alongside some Spike Balls in Bowser's Castle.
