Bramballs only appear in [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-3]]. Their sole attack is moving around a set path by flipping themselves around in a Slinky-style motion and planting their feet on flat surfaces. When they reach the end of a small piece of land or wall, they will flip the other way and continue moving. Touching the feet or arms of a Bramball will hurt the player. | Bramballs only appear in [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-3]]. They are orange [[Pokey]]-esque enemies with a permanent frown, brambles for legs, and yellow suction cup-like feet. Their sole attack is moving around a set path by flipping themselves around in a Slinky-style motion and planting their feet on flat surfaces. When they reach the end of a small piece of land or wall, they will flip the other way and continue moving. Touching the feet or arms of a Bramball will hurt the player. | ||
Bramballs can be defeated by jumping on the ball in the center, freezing them as [[Ice Mario]] or [[Penguin Mario]] and [[Ground Pound]]ing on them while frozen, hitting them with [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s, or a [[Super Star|Star]]. Hitting them from underneath will release [[Coin]]s and cause them to temporarily stop flipping over. Hitting them while launching out of a [[Pipe Cannon]] instantly defeats one and causes them to release twenty Coins. There are two types of Bramballs: ones that do not move their mouths and ones that do move their mouths. The ones that move their mouths are faster. | Bramballs can be defeated by jumping on the ball in the center, freezing them as [[Ice Mario]] or [[Penguin Mario]] and [[Ground Pound]]ing on them while frozen, hitting them with [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s, or a [[Super Star|Star]].

Pre-release, Bramballs were shown to have [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content#Enemy Changes|brown feet]], instead of yellow. | |||

Bramballs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being the enemies of the titular [[Bramball Woods]]. In this appearance, their heads turn out completely orange and a leaf sprouts from it as the music beats, similar to regular Pokeys in newer appearances. If Mario hits the underside of a Bramball in this state, it will drop a large number of coins instead of just one. Tapping on one using Boost Mode would cause one to smile and turn the other way. | |||
====''New Super Luigi U''==== | |||
Bramballs return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', acting the exact same way as in previous titles. They are only found in [[Heart of Bramball Woods]]. | |||

Bramballs | Bramballs reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' in [[Shelltop Sanctuary]] and the Forest course of [[Target Golf]]. In Shelltop Sanctuary, four of them stand in a row on a waste area, while one stands on two elevated slabs of stone. If hit by a golf ball, the Bramballs will rotate their head all the way around. | ||

A Bramball can be seen on [[Mario]]'s {{media link|TSMBM poster Mario.jpg|poster}} for [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. One is also seen in the movie itself standing over Mario, who nervously greets it, in the area with [[Mushroom Platform]]s where Mario arrives in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].<ref>Matyas (November 30, 2022).

*'''Trading | *'''Trading Card description:''' "''Bramballs are spiny-legged villains that move one giant step at a time. Their long legs and large size can make them a tricky baddie to bypass. If you sneak beneath them and jump, you may get some coins. The real point of vulnerability on a Bramball is its head section. Bopping them on the head can knock them right out of the competition.''"<br> | ||
