::The thing in GBDK is ''not'' simply electricity. It's clearly a collection of Jacob's ladders. Note how there are clear arcs between each spike that you can actually see the wire through when the electricity is at its most outwards. Additionally, some of the "wires" in GBDK are things like mast rigging for a ship, which would, in fact, be ropes. Sparks travel on them too. I've been playing through it today.

:::Back in Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'', the horizontal/diagonal wire and vertical rope were referred to with the blanket term "rope", with "wire" having only come later in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' - but both thin objects that can only be hung off of are clearly intended to be the same thing in form and function, differentiating themselves from ropes (the manual itself shows a screenshot of the diagonal, rig-like version as an example of a horizontal rope, having the same spinning controls). The ropes that hang between two poles in stages like Big-City are definitely supposed to be the same electrical wires. I'll concede that the original ''Donkey Kong'' version might have been intended to be a physical object and ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' might have been a redesign, but I think it's honestly hard to determine one way or the other.

::::And the things in SMS are far more like the "wires" in every way anyways (really thin, can be spun on, have these little electrical thingies traveling on them...). It's a lot more likely for a 2002 ''Super Mario'' enemy to be based off of a GBDK enemy than one might think, mainly as that's where many of Mario's miscellaneous moves originated (rolling, backflipping, shimmying....the middle one even has a similar control input.)

Anyways, think about it. Round, spiked object with electricity glowing between said spikes, acting in the same specific manner....
