Official Name[edit]
Is Hand Trap official, if so where does it say it's official?

If it's not this is totally what they should call it Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)
Yes, but with a conjecture template. DKPetey99TCE 14:48, 18 April 2011 (EDT)
Volcanos[edit]
Are those volcanos? I though Bowser had burn't down some houses there or something.

How do the traps work?[edit]
Is the drag effect random?
I once heard something like... when you move, while there is no light in the eyes of the skulls, you don't get dragged down.

Can I move this page?[edit]
Was going to create World 8-Hand Traps, but then realized the information would just be similar to the information put on here. The level layout would be added and all the information would be the same (though probably better written). Can I move the page and have Hand Trap become a redirect?

Split[edit]
So we split World 7-Piranha Plant 1 and World 7-Piranha Plant 2 from each other yet do not split these, despite the fact that these are far more different from each other than those are. The only reason I can see is that those are geographically further from each other on the map than these, but these are still three separate mini-levels all on the same page.

- Yeah, that's a weird setup. I support splitting these. --

- I would also support splitting these. Short as they are, they are separate levels with separate entrances, and should really be distinguished as such.

- In addition to what the other people have said, the wiki already seems to treat them as three levels elsewhere, namely on the Dark Land page. And as ancedotal as this is, most people say the game has 90 levels; that number requires you to count the hand traps separately, so it would seem most players already do. At minimum, that should probably be standardized. MetaWeegee (talk) 16:46, October 1, 2025 (EDT)
