Giant Gate: Difference between revisions

'''Giant Gates'''<ref>''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet, page 8.</ref> (also referred to as '''Goal Gates'''{{refneeded}}, '''Goalposts'''<ref>''Mario Mania'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 47.</ref>, or '''Exit Gates'''<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 28, p. 23</ref>) appear at the end of each [[Levels|level]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', excluding [[Castle]]s, [[Fortress]]es, and the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. They replaced the [[Flagpole]]s and [[Roulette Box]]es from the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series and look similar to the smaller [[Midway Gate]]s, however the bar between the two blue-white-striped posts moves up and down. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hit the bar, they not only finish the level but also get [[Bonus Star (Super Mario World)|Bonus Star]]s. The higher the bar is when hit, the more Bonus Stars they get (ranged from 1-30, then 40, and then 50) per gate. 100 of them will give the player access to a [[Bonus Game (Super Mario World)|Bonus Game]].
