Template:Item-infobox Arrow Signs are a method of directing the player in several Mario games. They first appeared in Super Mario World as a sign with an arrow on it and a patch of grass below. In Super Mario Maker, Arrow Signs are now just arrows rather than an actual signpost. The Arrow Sign at the beginning of a level still keeps the sign.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

Arrow Signs made their debut in Super Mario World. The first use of the Arrow Sign was in Yoshi's Island 1 near the Giant Gate.

Super Mario 64

Arrow Signs make their debut in a 3D Mario game in Super Mario 64, first appearing in Bob-omb Battlefield. Near the giant Chain Chomp is the Arrow Sign directing the character to bypass the Chain Chomp moving on to the next area. These Arrow Signs can be broken by either a ground pound or standard attack.

New Super Mario Bros. series

Arrow Signs appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2, New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, taking an appearance similar to that of Super Mario 64's.

Super Mario 3D Land

In Super Mario 3D Land, the Arrow Sign first appears in World 1-1 in the beginning of the stage. They appear as an orange sign with a white border and red arrow on it.

Super Mario 3D World

An Arrow Sign in Super Mario 3D World.

Some Arrow Signs in Super Mario 3D World can be broken, as in Super Mario 64.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

An Arrow Sign appears in the Golden Plains stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Occasionally, it pops up on-screen indicating that the stage will start to scroll in the direction it is pointing.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

Two kinds of Arrow Signs appear in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. The traditional Arrow Sign seen in previous Mario games always appears at the start of every stage, with the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U ones retaining their original designs in their respective level styles, and cannot be removed. The second is an unlockable tool in the game, but unlike regular Arrow Signs, it does not have a post or backboard and instead is just a plain red or wooden arrow, depending on the level style. Arrow Signs can be rotated in eight different directions. A maximum of 100 Arrow Signs can be placed in an area. When shaken, it turns into a Checkpoint Flag.

Wario World

Several arrow signs appear in the Special Areas of Wario World. Their purpose is obvious, but the sign can be interacted with by punching it, causing the sign to violently spin in every direction.
