| '''Chains''' appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, being most commonly used by player characters to access otherwise unreachable areas. They are either taut and climbable like [[ladder]]s, or can be swung from like rope swings. The latter are referred to as '''hanging chains''',<ref>{{cite|title=''New Super Mario Bros.

| The [[Jump Board Scene]] and the [[Chain Scene]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' feature chains. They are climbed by [[Donkey Kong Jr.|the player character]] in the same manner as the vines and [[pole]]s that appear in other levels.

| ====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| | Chains appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', first found in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-3]]. They are always found in indoor dungeon areas and can be climbed by [[Mario]] and friends, functioning identically to the [[beanstalk]]s and [[ladder]]s found in other environments. |
| In ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', chains appear only in indoor dungeon areas and can be climbed by the player character, functioning identically to the [[beanstalk]]s and [[ladder]]s found in other environments. Chains are first seen in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-3]].

| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| |
| Hanging chains appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', in which they are swung on rather than climbed by the player character, similarly to the vines found in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]]. Two chains in [[World 8-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-6]] are used to reach the top of the level.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| |
| In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', hanging chains can once again be swung on by player characters, with the same functionality as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They make a prominent appearance in the course [[Walking Piranha Plants!]], in which they are used to swing and jump past numerous [[Stalking Piranha Plant]]s.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', chains are the eponymous fixture of [[Iggy's Swinging-Chains Castle]]. They are needed to cross [[lava swell]]s and reach [[Iggy]].
