Aside from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its subsequent [[reissue]]s, the only other appearance of Roto-Discs is in the [[Mini-Mario]] course in [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. As a throwback to the previous games, they are obstacles that will send Mario back to the beginning of the area if they connect with him.
