Floating Mines,[1][2] also known as Mines[3] (also parsed as mines),[4] are Spike Ball-like bombs that first appeared in Super Mario World. Despite their name, they are not always shown to be explosive.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, Floating Mines 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.
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Bomb. (discuss) |
Mines, simply called bombs in Super Mario 64 and also called spiked orbs in the Player's Guide[5] and Super Mario 64 DS, play a vital role in defeating Bowser. 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.
There was also going to be a smaller, water-based variant, but it was cut out from the final.
Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2
It has been suggested that this section be split into the following: Mikey Mine, Space Mine. (discuss) |
Mikey Mines[6][7] also appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They come in two versions. The underwater version moves on a vertical chain and regenerate themselves after detonation. The space version, also known as Space Mines,[6] appears as featureless spiked balls. They are usually immobile but sometimes move vertically or horizontally. They can be defeated if they are shot with a Star Bit.
Both types also appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where they look and act the same as in the predecessor. In this game, Yoshi cannot eat them. Some may release coins, 1-Up Mushrooms, or Star Bits.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
It has been suggested that this section be split into the following: Mine, Spike ball (seed). (discuss) |
Mines, referred to as spike balls,[8] also appear in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury in the form of a green spiked ball with yellow spikes. They first appear in Clear Pipe Cruise. They are in the interior of Clear Pipes, blocking parts of them. Some Green Stars are among spike balls; if the player hits a spike ball, they not only take damage, but are also ejected backwards in the pipe, so its destruction is necessary to pass. They can be destroyed by a fireball from Fire Mario, a baseball, Invincible Mario or White Tanooki Mario.
Mario's Time Machine
In Mario's Time Machine, mines appear as obstacles while Mario is surfing around. In the SNES version, hitting one causes Mario to lose all of his mushrooms, whereas in the PC version, hitting one only causes Mario to lose one of them.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Bomb. (discuss) |
In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, small mines appear as somewhat common obstacles. They can be found on the ground, where they can be picked up, or floating in underwater, where they can interrupt a Body Slam. If interacted with, they proceed to flash and then soon explode, causing damage. The Pecan enemy can also spit mines that sink and automatically explode.
Mario Party series
Mario Party 3
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Bomb. (discuss) |
In Mario Party 3, mines (referred to as bombs) appear in the minigame Cheep Cheep Chase, where they are in the way of the players, who are being pursued by a large Cheep Cheep. To get around them, the players must dive.
Mario Party 6
It has been suggested that this section be split into the following: Mine, Mine (fruit). (discuss) |
Mines also appear as a projectile in Mario Party 6, in Sink or Swim. While three other characters are swimming in a body of water, one player tries to drop mines on their heads. If the mines hit someone, they do not explode. They simply knock them unconscious.
Mario Party Superstars
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Bomb. (discuss) |
Mines reappear in Mario Party Superstars, reprising their roles in the Cheep Cheep Chase minigame.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
It has been suggested that this section be split into the following: Mine, Spike ball (seed). (discuss) |
Spike balls reappear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports using the same appearance as from Super Mario 3D World and acting in the same way. They are usually seen in levels with clear pipes and block the way of the player, such as Clear Pipe Puzzleplex. They can be destroyed by using the Super Pickax power-up.
Luigi's Mansion 3
It has been suggested that this page be split into the following: Mine, Bomb. (discuss) |
Two types of mines appear in the Boilerworks and the ScreamPark minigame Coin Floating in Luigi's Mansion 3. There is a normal type resembling a Spike Ball, and a homing type that acts as a bomb. The later moves toward the nearest player, and when close, it flashes red and eventually blows up. Their explosion can pop Luigi's inflatable duck boat and make him drown, losing 20 HP.
