'''Buzz Saws''' (also called '''Grinders''') are metal discs found in some [[Fortress]]es and [[Castle]]s of ''[[Super Mario World]]''. There are two types of Buzz Saws, line-guided and non-line-guided. The line-guided variety travels along a dotted line while non-line-guided Buzz Saws travel across the floor. The blades are rather large and cannot be jumped on, although they can be defeated by a [[Slope Slide]] (which displays a [[Glitch|glitchy]] sprite). [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can, however, [[Spin Jump]] onto them, which lets them bounce off the Buzz Saw without taking any damage.
'''Grinders''' (also called '''Buzz Saws''') are metal discs featured in some of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.


Buzz Saws re-appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They are abundantly found in [[Mecha Castle]], [[Lift Castle]] and reappear in [[Magma Castle]] in tight spaces. Some Buzz Saws are permanently connected to walls and need to be jumped or crawled past.
In ''Super Mario World'', Grinders appear in some [[Fortress]]es and [[Castle]] [[level]]s. There are two types of Grinders: line-guided and non-line-guided. The line-guided variety travels along a dotted line while non-line-guided Grinders travel across the floor. The blades are rather large and cannot be jumped on, although they can be defeated by a [[Slope Slide]] (which displays a [[glitch]]ed sprite). [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can, however, [[Spin Jump]] onto them, which lets them bounce off the Grinder without taking any damage.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Buzz Saws appear in the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]] and the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]], where they cut through planks of wood and cause them to fall. When Mario goes on a certain part of the planet or passes the Buzz Saw, it starts moving and any enemy that touches it disappears.


Buzz Saws also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', behaving like they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They only appear in [[World 7-5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-5]], where they are the primary obstacles for the level.

Buzz Saws appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', they operate as in ''Super Mario World''. They can also jump vertically as well. They are among one of the few obstacles in the game that cannot be destroyed by the [[Gold Flower]]'s fireballs. This game also introduces a larger type of Buzz Saw called the [[Giant Buzz Saw]].
