Spikes[1] are obstacles in Super Mario World. These short thin smooth-sided pencil-shaped wooden pillars come down from the ceiling or up from the floor, though most do not retract all the way, leaving their points exposed. Spikes are indestructible, but the player character can touch one from the side without taking damage. Spikes appear in the Chocolate Fortress and #7 Larry's Castle.

The pencil-like obstacles resembles the Spike appeared The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode Do the Koopa. The obstacles have a very similar function and appearance, only lacking the tip made of lead.
