In ''Super Mario World'', Mines, also referred to as '''Floating Mines''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=52}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=71|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in [[Yoshi's Island 4]] as spiked balls with a wooden texture that drift in the water. They follow the current continuously and pulsate with spikes. [[Yoshi]] can step on their spikes harmlessly and eat them, and a [[Super Star]] can defeat them. In the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], many are in free fall, making it difficult for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to move around, and slowly rise to the surface when landing in the water. | In ''Super Mario World'', Mines, also referred to as '''Floating Mines''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=52}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=71|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in [[Yoshi's Island 4]] as spiked balls with a wooden texture that drift in the water.

In the final arenas of [[Bowser in the Dark World]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]], where the bombs surround the arena, Mario, Luigi, or [[Wario]] has to throw Bowser into one of the bombs to defeat him (three in Bowser in the Sky). If the player jumps into one of the bombs, it will blow up and they will take two wedges of damage. | Mines, simply called '''bombs''' in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and also called '''spiked orbs''' in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=43 and 125|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996}}</ref> and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', play a vital role in defeating [[Bowser]].
