Though inconsistent, the term "wire" is generally applied to taut power cables that span across opposite walls or towers. The ones discontinuous with opposing walls are typically referred to as "bars" and are more recurring in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. They resemble {{wp|horizontal bar}}s.

Mario swinging in Mario vs. Donkey Kong on Nintendo Switch.

First appearance Donkey Kong (Game Boy) (1994)
Latest appearance Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch) (2024)

In several games of the Super Mario franchise, the player character can swing from wires[1] or bars.[2][3][4] The character automatically grabs on to one on contact. Depending on the game, flicking the control stick or pressing the action button causes the character to start swinging. Letting go at the apex propels the character high into the air, allowing them to access heights that they otherwise would not be able to reach. Wires are comparable to horizontally strung ropes and trapezes.

Though inconsistent, the term "wire" is generally applied to taut power cables that span across opposite walls or towers. The ones discontinuous with opposing walls are typically referred to as "bars" and are more recurring in the Super Mario franchise. They resemble horizontal bars.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

In the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, ropes,[5] also called horizontal bars,[6] are attached to transmission towers. Mario can grab on and move across ropes and can also do the Wire Spin to do either a small jump or a large jump to get to areas he could not reach. Ropes are either diagonal or horizontal, which can help make Mario ascend heights or traverse gaps. Enemies called Wire Traps sometimes appear along ropes.

The wire ropes from Super Mario Sunshine share some traits and were potentially derived from these ropes, but they are more elastic and can by walked across like tightropes.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]

Wires, or bars,[2] in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and the Nintendo Switch remake function like in Donkey Kong. They take the appearance of regular wires in Mario Toy Company and Twilight City, but are instead ropes in worlds like Donkey Kong Jungle.

Super Mario series[edit]

Screenshots of bars from Super Mario Galaxy (left), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (middle), and Super Mario Odyssey (right).

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy, bars appear only on the walls of the Deep Dark Galaxy. They are silvery with light-orange ends in this game, and provide a limited range for the player character to jump off. If the character jumps onto a bar with maintained momentum, they will automatically be swung forward, enabling them to immediately be swung forward and reach the apex without needing to tilt the control stick. Bars are clustered together and evenly spaced apart, allowing the player to swing from one to another in rapid succession.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, bars, referred to as "nails" in the Prima Games guidebook,[7] appear only in the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy, where they function identically as in Super Mario Galaxy. Bars are used in the mission "Time for Adventure" to reach the Power Star. Bars in the game look rusted, matching the aesthetic theming of the Clockwork Ruins Galaxy.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Squared screenshot of a traffic light from Super Mario Odyssey.

Bars in Super Mario Odyssey are red objects with gray, reflective orbs at the end. They are embedded into the walls of subareas in the Metro Kingdom and Snow Kingdom. In the Wooded Kingdom, there are multiple Timer Challenges where bars briefly appear on the sides of terrain once Mario tosses Cappy at a Scarecrow. In the Hanging from a High-Rise subarea in the Metro Kingdom, bars are attached to a cross-shape apparatus that rotates every few seconds, after which they stop and shake before rotating again. Mario can grab on to these bars and jump from them. The Darker Side has a challenge involving poles.

On the streets of New Donk City, the overhanging traffic lights function exactly like bars.

Wario Land: Shake It![edit]

In Wario Land: Shake It!, bars appear suspended in the air. When clinging to a bar, Wario performs a Bar Spin if the player shakes the Wii Remote. Pressing Two Button while spinning allows the player to move him to a subsequent bar. Bars are significant components in the boss battle against Chortlebot.
