What do you mean by "they cannot be gone through"? Haven't they always been like that? This should be changed for clarity.
{{User:YoshiCookie/sig}}

:I believe it means that you can't walk through them during the brief period of invincibility you get after being hit (which is entirely possible in NSMBW, at least), but since I don't own NSMB2, I can't be sure. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}

== Move to "Skewer" ==

{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|5-1|rename}}

I don't recall these obstacles being called "Spike Pillars" in any game, maybe on the guides, but I don't have any. Anyway, two recent games, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', name them "Skewers" ([[Giant Skewer Tower]] is "Giant Spike Pillar Tower" in PAL regions, but we have preference for NA names).

'''Deadline''': December 10, 2013, 23:59 GMT

===Move to "Skewer"===
# {{User|MegaKoopa}} My proposal.
#{{User|Yoshi876}} If it's the most commonly used recent name then as per [[MarioWiki:Naming|policy]] it should be renamed.
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per all
#{{User|Gonzales Kart Inc.}} Per Yoshi876.
#{{User|Mario3D64}} Per all.

===Don't move===
#{{User|Randombob-omb4761}} 2 games? why would we move something to a name that only is that name in 2 games?

===Comments===
Just a note, there is a [[Skewer]] page so that would need to be renamed {{fake link|Skewer (move)}} and this to be renamed to {{fake link|Skewer (obstacle)}}. {{User|Yoshi876}}

How do you know the level name is a reference to the obstacle rather than the level's appearance itself? If this will create ambiguity, I think we should keep it as the same.<br> {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 00:17, 27 November 2013 (EST)

:Right, I haven't thought of that, but ''MPIT'' still says "Avoid the Skewers...", even with a capital letter.

::Interesting. So I suppose they are Skewers after all (I think Spike Pillar is way more descriptive, but who am I to dictate the names of things?) <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 14:01, 28 November 2013 (EST)

@Randombob-omb It is because those are the two newest games that are using this name, and as per the naming policy that I mentioned in my support, the newest most commonly used name is the name we should use. {{User|Yoshi876}}

BTW, [[Skewer]] already has a page on this wiki. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:18, 29 November 2013 (EST)
:I mentioned that above, best would be Skewer (obstacle). {{User|Yoshi876}}
Done! Since the TPP is already settled, I went ahead and moved it [[User:TVTrash|TVTrash]] ([[User talk:TVTrash|talk]]) 09:41, 14 December 2013 (EST)

==French name==
what it his french name

i added the a to show by the french name is unknown

== The "Skewer" name could just be poetic licence ==

They are never reffered to as "Skewers" in the game's files. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 11:04, 20 April 2015 (EDT)
:The Mario Party: Island Tour minigame [[Kabob and Weave]] and the Mario Party 10 minigame [[Skewer Scurry]] explicitly refer to them as "Skewers" in their description. Can't get much more official than that. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::Are the "In-game description"s from the USA versions or EUR versions? --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 05:47, 1 July 2015 (EDT)
:::It's most likely from the U.S. version. If they're not identical. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 21:29, 1 July 2015 (EDT)

I would say Skewer wins, since we usually use American names, but NoA ''just had'' to throw us a curveball and call them Spike Pillars in the Tips of American ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

This. I don't think the Skewer (obstacle) article should have been deleted. That is what I think. [[Special:Contributions/107.146.244.150|107.146.244.150]] 19:58, June 29, 2021 (EDT)
:I don't quite understand your statement. Can you clarify? {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 20:00, June 29, 2021 (EDT)

I think that the article should have not been deleted because it was there for so long. [[Special:Contributions/107.146.244.150|107.146.244.150]] 20:01, June 29, 2021 (EDT)
:You could at least be more specific with your section titles rather than just "this" every time. Anyway, I may not have known about this situation before, but can you further explain why you think that? {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 20:02, June 29, 2021 (EDT)
::It never has been deleted. The page has been moved and the redirect became pointless. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 20:04, June 29, 2021 (EDT)

I will. [[Special:Contributions/107.146.244.150|107.146.244.150]] 20:05, June 29, 2021 (EDT)
