+'''Spine Coasters''' are rideable creatures made of bone used to aid [[Mario]] and company to pass through [[lava]] pits or [[poison (obstacle)|poison]] pools or to cross long gaps. As their name suggests, they move along a track in a similar fashion to a roller coaster. They first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

-Spine Coasters appear in [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-7]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a stage that can be unlocked by finding the secret exit in [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]]. It also appears in multiplayer versus mode. Spine Coasters are the only method of transportation throughout the level, and they often make risky maneuvers, passing through lava geysers and into the lava itself. Players must time their jumps to avoid coming in contact with the lava and losing a life. Spine Coasters can stand the weight of Mario, [[Luigi]], and both [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s on it. However, if all characters perform a [[Synchro Ground-Pound|simultaneous ground pound]], it will fall and they lose a life each.

-Spine Coasters (here called '''Bone Roller Coasters'''<ref>''Super Mario 3D Land'' internal filename (<tt>romfs/ObjectData/BoneRollerCoasterParts.szs</tt>)</ref>) later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are only found in {{world-link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 2}} 2. Their design has changed into a broader, three-dimensional figure. The skull has protruding eye sockets and horns, and its maw is wide and blunt (as opposed to the narrow and pointed maw from the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design), to match with the coaster's wider figure. This alternate design for the skull somewhat resembles the thumb and bucket of an excavator, as well as the skull of a [[Dry Bones]].

 Spine Coasters have also appeared in the [[Wii U]] demo ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]'' shown at E3 2011. One is seen in a dark cavern that is filled with poison, carrying Mario and friends once again.

 ==Trivia==
 *The Spine Coaster somewhat resembles a [[Bone Dragon]], but its head is smaller and there are no spikes on its back.
-*Whenever the Spine Coaster goes fast, especially on a slope, it lets out a dinosaur-like roar. The Bone Roller Coasters in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' make a different noise.
