Spike Bar

Spike Bars are hazardous obstacles that are shown to first appear in Super Mario 3D Land. In the game, they are essentially duplicates of Fire Bars except without the burning properties. However, unlike Fire Bars (which mostly only appear in lava themed levels), Spike Bars are found all over the place including levels like World 2-4 and World 5-3. Like Fire Bars, there can be two Spike Bars rotating at the same axis. But unlike Fire Bars, there has never been a Spike Bar to rotate on it's side nor has a Spike Bar with more than two bars rotating at the same axis been spotted.

Spike Bars return in Super Mario 3D World, however their appearence has changed. This time they look more like spiked rollers rolling around a center than Fire Bars. They also are only seen with two or four bars rotating at the same axis. Spike Bars are only found in ' and '.
