| '''Brambles''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as spiked vine-like plants that most commonly have a role of being obstacles in the platforming games. Additionally, bramble-like vines appear as the stalks for many [[Piranha Plant]]s, such as [[Naval Piranha]], [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s, [[Prickly Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Piranha Creeper]]s.

| ==History==
| | [[Image:Bramble.gif|thumb|right|Bramble, as seen in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.]] |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
| | '''Bramble''' is a spiked vine-like plant found rarely in the [[Donkey Kong Universe]]. |
| ====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
| |
| [[File:DKC2 Brambles.png|thumb|The Bramble scenery in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'']] | |
| Brambles in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' are obstacles featured prominently in several levels and several bonus stages. The theme for bramble-based levels is referred to as "Stickerbush Symphony" by the official soundtrack and "Stickerbrush Symphony" by the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. An arranged version called "[[Bramble Blast]]" is available as a [[CD]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''====
| | The first appearance of bramble is in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Here it is an obstacle featured prominantly in a few levels found later in the game. |
| Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|its Nintendo 3DS version]] appear in the level [[Crazy Cart]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
| | Bramble later appeared in the GameBoy sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. |
| Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]] appear in the [[Lost Mangroves]], where they are small, purple, and function like [[Spike Trap|pits of spikes]]. Just like normal spikes, [[Cranky Kong]] can use his [[Cane Bounce]] to safely cross them. They have a bigger prominence later in the [[Bright Savannah]] level [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | Bramble also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Here it is found in only one area, [[Fungi Forest]] at night. In this game [[Donkey Kong]] must use a [[Strong Kong Barrel]] to transform into his [[Strong Kong]] mode to cross a large patch of bramble which conceals a [[Kong Switch]] which must be pressed to open a nearby locked barn door. |
| Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' have an identical role to their first appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong 64''===
| | Brambles are also set to appear in ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''. |
| Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' appear only in [[Fungi Forest]] at night, and can be crossed only by [[Donkey Kong]] while in his [[Strong Kong]] form. A [[Kong Switch]] is concealed under a large bramble patch, which must be pressed to open a nearby locked barn door. | |

| [[File:Brambles PM.png|thumb|Mario and [[Goombario]] hovering over brambles in Flower Fields in ''Paper Mario'']] | |
| Brambles serve as an obstacle in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', appearing exclusively in [[Flower Fields]]. [[Mario]] will receive 1 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage upon touching them, so the only ways to cross them are by riding a [[Bubble Plant]]'s [[Bubble|bubble]], or [[Lakilester]]'s cloud through his out-of-battle ability.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| |
| [[File:Windmilride.png|thumb|Brambles growing from the Big Windmill in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' appear in the form of a few large red vines with green spots that twitch slightly. They only surround the [[Big Windmill]] in [[Bianco Hills]] whenever [[Petey Piranha]] is on top of it, but disappear after defeating him the first time.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| |
| [[File:SMG Hedge Ring Planet.png|left|thumb|200px|Brambles in Gusty Garden Galaxy from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' are giant objects appearing in [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], and several of them grow on a ring-like planet with [[Pull Star]]s in the middle. Going to this planet is only optional, as a [[Launch Star]] is meant to shoot [[Mario]] through the ring, and only a well-timed catch from a Pull Star can get Mario into the planet. Brambles also appear in the same galaxy on the last planet before the battle with [[Major Burrows]] in the third mission.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| |
| [[File:MarioBrosWiiBramble.png|thumb|Some Brambles in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
| |
| Brambles in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' grow over various paths on the map of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], before defeating [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]] in {{world|5|castle}}, and the player characters cannot move through any path covered in brambles. Each time the player clears a level in World 5, the layout of the brambles changes, with some brambles disappearing while others relocate themselves. The same world introduces an enemy with bramble-like limbs, [[Bramball]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' appear in [[Desert Oasis (level)|Desert Oasis]], and if Donkey Kong lands in one, he is damaged and launched back out.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' appear in the southwestern section of [[Gritzy Desert]], and they can be crossed from the left wit a nearby [[cannon]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]] appear in one section of [[Dimble Woods]], where [[Luigi]] must travel in a withered [[Giant Sockop]] across a patch of them to reach a group of normal [[Sockop]]s. The brambles must be crossed via narrow twisting platforms after defeating the Sockops.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
| |
| Brambles in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' appear in [[Somnom Woods]], and can be [[Side Drill]]ed through. If Mario or Luigi touch them, they act like a wall, and the brambles slightly expand when passed through.
| |
| | |
| ===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
| |
| Brambles in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' do not make giant mazes but still wildly grow in levels, and some constantly grow shorter and longer.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| Brambles make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in [[Toad Road]]. Multiple brambles appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in [[Mushroom Park]], where they can be seen behind the [[Tower]] and [[Fortress]].
