The Pillars[1][2] are large, indestructible columns found in Super Mario World. These obstacles appear in #1 Iggy's Castle, Forest Fortress, and room 1 of Bowser's Castle, usually hidden in floors, ceilings, or walls. They move slowly for several seconds, revealing themselves, before suddenly smashing almost anything on their way. After several seconds later, Pillars move slowly back. If the player reaches the door at the end of rooms with Pillars, but does not enter it, the nearby Pillar will appear to be cut off by the wall.
