Pillars appear in [[1 Iggy's Castle|#1 Iggy's Castle]], the [[Forest Fortress]], and room 1 of [[Front Door|Bowser's Castle]], usually hidden in floors, ceilings, or walls. They move slowly for several seconds, revealing themselves, before suddenly smashing almost anything on their way. Several seconds later, Pillars move slowly back. If the player reaches the door at the end of rooms with Pillars but does not enter it, the nearby Pillar will appear to be cut off by the wall.


{{conjecture}}
A Pillar appears in the first volume in the ''Super Mario World'' arc of the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha-published ''Super Mario'' manga]]. While [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are walking through [[Iggy Koopa]]'s castle in an open room, Mario looks up and tries to warn Luigi of a falling Pillar, but it crushes Luigi. Mario then has to toss a crushed Luigi through a window.

'''Pillars''' also known as "smashers" are large columns found in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. These obstacles appear mostly in [[fortress]]es, [[tower]]s, and [[castle]]s, usually hidden in the floor, ceiling, or also in walls. They move slowly for some seconds, revealing themselves, before suddenly smashing almost anything on their way. After some seconds later, pillars move slowly back.

There are many types of pillars. Some are just large columns with a flat end that fall on the player, these are the ones known as the "smasher".  These can be avoided by hiding in small pits found under the pillars. There are also [[Spike (Super Mario World)|Spikes]] and [[Skewer (obstacle)|Skewer]]s.

Pillars are indestructible, so the player can't destroy them. The player has to avoid them if they have spikes, or else if the player touches them in [[Small Mario|small form]], they will lose a [[life]], but if the player has a [[Mushroom]], they will turn back to small form instead. If the player has a different power-up and touches the spikes, they will turn back to normal, except in ''Super Mario World'' (SNES version), where the player reverts back to small form. If the player has a [[Star|Starman]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]], they will be immune to the pillars while in [[Invincible Mario|Invincible]] or [[Mega Mario|Mega]] form.
