Nails[1] are grabbable objects in the 3D Super Mario games. They usually resemble iron bars and are embedded into the sides of terrain. The player character will automatically grab onto a nail on contact, and moving the control stick back and forth will cause them to swing. Letting go at the apex propels the character high into the air, allowing them to access tall platforms or another nail.
They are very similar to trapezes, which have a comparable function.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
Nails appear in Super Mario Galaxy, specifically in the Deep Dark Galaxy missions "Boo in a Box" and "Bubble Blastoff". They must be clung to, and they provide a very limited range for the player to jump off.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Nails return in Super Mario Galaxy 2, specifically in the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy mission "Time for Adventure". They behave as they did in Super Mario Galaxy.
