Spike Bars are spiky obstacles encountered chiefly in Super Mario games. They are similar to Fire Bars, but with small spiked balls in place of fireballs. They usually can be destroyed with certain power-up forms, whereas Fire Bars are completely indestructible. If characters come in contact with a Spike Bar, they take damage.
History[edit]
Wario Land: Shake It![edit]
Spike poles in Wario Land: Shake It!
In Wario Land: Shake It!, Spike Bars, referred to as spike poles[1] or spiky poles,[2] appear in levels that feature Rocket Buckets, such as Airytale Castle and Launchpad Labyrinth. They extend out of a metallic pivot and start rotating around it the moment Wario mounts a Rocket Bucket, retracting when the vehicle is destroyed or abandoned. Spike poles appear with varying lengths, are indestructible, and are always surrounded with coins, collectable by carefully navigating in-between the bars. If Wario flies a Rocket Bucket into a spike pole, the vehicle breaks, forcing Wario to plummet to solid ground. Since they only appear when a Rocket Bucket is in use, spike poles cannot hurt Wario directly.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
A Spike Bar in World 5-2 of Super Mario 3D Land
Contrary to Fire Bars, which mostly appear in lava-themed levels, Spike Bars are found in a variety of level themes throughout Super Mario 3D Land. One or two Spike Bars can be found rotating around the same axis, but unlike Fire Bars, Spike Bars never rotate on their side. If Mario or Luigi make contact with a Spike Bar in their Statue forms, it breaks and releases several coins.
Super Mario Run[edit]
Spike Bars return in Super Mario Run as obstacles in the level Spike Bar Jungle. This time, the spiked balls that make up the Spike Bar are redesigned to be green with yellow spikes, making them resemble the Spike Balls as held up by River Piranha Plants in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or the spike balls that appear in some courses of Super Mario 3D World. In this game, the bar is also connected to a Hard Block with a cog. Albeit indestructible in this game, Spike Bars can be bounced on safely by Yoshis.
