'''Chains''' are metallic structures that can be climbed or hung from.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
[[File:DKJ Arcade Stage 4 Screenshot.png|thumb|right|Chains in the Chain Scene in Donkey Kong Jr.]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', chains appear in the [[Jump Board Scene]] and the [[Chain Scene]], in which they can be climbed by [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in the same manner as the vines and [[pole]]s that appear in other levels.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''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 found only 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.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Chains appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', in which they are swung on rather than climbed by Mario and friends, similarly to the hanging vines found in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]]. Two chains appear in [[World 8-6]], in which they are used to reach the top of the level .

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Chains return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', in which they can once again be swung on by Mario and friends, with the same functionality as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They make a prominent appearance in the level [[Walking Piranha Plants!]], in which they are used to swing and jump past numerous [[Stalking Piranha Plant]]s.

===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', chains appear in a certain area of [[Bowser's Castle]]. Mario can grab them and pull them downward, acting as a type of switch which can cause the room to become flooded with water or to drain the water if the room is already flooded.

===''Wario World''===
Chains appear in ''[[Wario World]]'', first found in [[Greenhorn Ruins]]. They are once again climbable objects, which [[Wario]] can scale and rotate himself around.
