'''Bramballs''' are orange [[Pokey]]-esque enemies with a permanent frown, brambles for legs, and yellow suction cup-like feet. They appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Their name is a play on "bramble" and "ball". They walk around by moving one of their legs to either the left or right as an attempt to hit [[Mario]].

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 in pre-release builds 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.
Bramballs are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', being encountered in [[Bramball Woods]] and [[Heart of Bramball Woods]] respectively. In this appearance, their heads turn out completely orange and a leaf sprouts from it at every vocal "[[Paah]]" in the music, 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 are course elements in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. They appear 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.

Three Bramballs are seen in [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' when Mario meets [[Toad]] in the [[Mushroom Forest]], with one standing over Mario, who nervously greets it. They are portrayed as part of the Mushroom Kingdom's wildlife. Compared to their game counterparts, they have more realistic stems, and their feet have been redesigned to resemble flower buds. A Bramball can also be seen on [[Mario]]'s {{file link|TSMBM poster Mario.jpg|poster}} for the film.
