The '''death barrier''' or '''death plane''' is a special type of [[floor]] that causes Mario to lose a [[life]] if he is above it and vertically within 2048 [[unit]]s of it. It is analogous to the bottomless pits of previous games. A floor is used for this case since Mario cannot inhabit any region without a floor triangle underneath him, as that is considered [[Out of Bounds]]. | The '''death barrier''' or '''death plane''' is a special type of [[floor]] that causes Mario to lose a [[life]] if he is above it and vertically within 2048 [[unit]]s of it.

The death animation triggers well above the physical height of a Death Barrier in order to avoid having Mario stand on it. However, it can be [[downwarp]]ed to or stood upon during a [[Power Star]] cutscene, and Mario's shadow is still visible on the surface of the Death Barrier, as with any other floor. | The death animation triggers well above the physical height of a Death Barrier in order to avoid having Mario stand on it.

The death barrier can also be reached by flying downwards using the [[Wing Cap]] with a lot of speed (doable without hacks in [[TotWC]] and [[WMotR]]). | ||
Several [[object]]s, such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Scuttlebug]]s, have special programming in place to despawn them if they reach the death barrier, to prevent them from walking around on top of it. The [[Mystery Goomba]] only exists for one [[frame]], as it spawns at the death barrier and consequently despawns as soon as possible, and at the same time is too far away from Mario to be able to load. | Several [[object]]s, such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Scuttlebug]]s, have special programming in place to despawn them if they reach the death barrier, to prevent them from walking around on top of it.
