'''Ropes''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as objects that characters can grab on to. Ropes appear in vertical types, which can be climbed up and down, and horizontal types, which can be climbed across.
'''Ropes''' (also known as '''wires'''<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' instruction booklet, page 25.</ref> or '''bars'''<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console digital instruction manual, page 12.</ref><ref>''Wario Land: Shake It!'' instruction booklet, page 4.</ref>) are recurring objects that appear in both the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. There are two types of ropes: horizontal and vertical. A character can usually grab on to a rope. The horizontal ones allow them to climb across, while the latter ones allow them to climb up and down.

====''Super Mario World''====
====''Super Mario World''====
Ropes in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' are placed vertically and used similarly to [[vine]]s, and they are usually linked to a mechanism (the same one as the [[Chainsaw]]s') constantly moving horizontally or vertically, allowing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to grab on to the rope and to cross [[pit]]s. Ropes cannot be grabbed while riding on [[Yoshi]].
Ropes first appear as an interactive object in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are placed vertically and used similarly to [[Beanstalk|vine]]s. In the game, they are usually linked to a mechanism moving constantly left and right (or up and down), allowing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to grab on to the rope and thus to cross [[pit]]s, for example. When riding [[Yoshi]], however, the player cannot grab the rope.


====''Super Mario Sunshine''====

Ropes (also called '''Wire Ropes'''<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=12|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref>) appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as somewhat common objects in various locations. Wires can be hung off and used to perform a [[Super Whirl Jump]] to reach higher places and walked on as if it were a tightrope. Jumping on top of them for a higher bounce is also possible. [[Wire Trap]]s can also be found on the wires.
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ropes (also called '''Wire Ropes'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref>) appear as somewhat common objects in various locations, and seem to be based off the ones in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. As in that game, wires can be hung off and used to perform a [[Super Whirl Jump]] to reach higher places. Additionally, Mario can walk on them as if it were a tightrope. Jumping on top of them for a higher bounce is also possible. [[Wire Trap]]s can be found on them.


====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Ropes in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' are stationary objects that can be climbed similarly to vines. They are featured prominently in the [[World-e]] level [[Rich with Ropes]]. Ropes in this level are different from vines in that they do not need to activated and that [[Hoopster]]s often crawl up and down on them. A few ropes appear in two other World-e levels, [[Ground Work]] and [[Bowser's Airship 2]], though Hoopsters do not show up in these levels.

They can be climbed similarly to vines, the difference being that they do not need to be activated and that [[Hoopster]]s (from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'') are often found on them crawling up and down. A few ropes are also present in two other World-e levels, [[Ground Work]] and [[Bowser's Airship 2]], though Hoopsters do not show up in these levels.

Ropes also appear in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where their behavior has slightly changed. Ropes in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' are found mostly on ceilings instead of tracks. When the player starts grabbing onto a rope, it starts swinging and the player can adjust its speed and movement by changing positions on the rope before jumping off. There are also [[swinging vine|hanging vines]] that appear in forest-themed levels which serve the same purpose as ropes other than appearance.

When the player starts grabbing onto a rope, it starts swinging and the player can adjust its speed and movement by changing positions on the rope before jumping off. Exclusively found in [[World 6-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-B]] and a bonus area in [[World 7-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] are ropes that are on tracks, similar to ''Super Mario World''. There are also vines that appear in jungle themed levels which serve the same purpose as ropes other than appearance.


Ropes in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' were replaced with chains, which serve the same purpose as ropes despite having a different appearance. Ropes in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' swing automatically, as well as hanging vines, and the player character cannot adjust their speed and movement. There are also ropes that hang horizontally on ceilings that the player can climb through to reach other areas.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' the ropes and vines now swing automatically and the player is unable to adjust their speed and movement. There are also ropes that hang horizontally on ceilings that the player can climb through to reach other areas.


''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' also feature tightropes that can be walked across. In the former, it acts as a normal platform, although Mario moves slower on it. However, he can jump higher, similar to the ropes in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', tightropes only appear in the [[World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-Castle]]. If Mario or Luigi stand still on one too long, they lose their balance and fall off if they do not move or jump in time. Sometimes as [[Shell Mario]] or Luigi, if they do a shell dash on it to reach the end point, it continues rolling after they let go from running or jump up high.

Tightropes in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' are much like the ones in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', where they mainly appear in [[World 3-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-4]], [[World 7-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-3]], [[Special 3-3]], and [[Special 7-1]]. [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] appear on tightropes in this game, acting in a way comparable to [[Wire Trap]]s.

Two [[New Donker]]s in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' be found swinging a rope around at the park near the Main Street Entrance in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]]. After jumping over it 30 times in succession, Mario will be rewarded with a [[Power Moon]].  He will get another Power Moon if he manages to jump over it 100 times.

===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)====
Ropes appear in ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]] in multiple configurations. Vertical ones tend to hang from above, and are interacted with much like the vine objects from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''. Diagonal or horizontal ropes (also called '''Horizontal Bars'''<ref>"''Swing from the Horizontal Bar, then press Up on the Control Pad and the Jump button.''" - The ''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide, page 36.</ref>) are attached to telephone-like poles. [[Mario]] can grab on and move across ropes and can also do the [[Wire Spin]] to either do a small jump or a large jump to get to areas he could not reach.
Ropes in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' appear in multiple configurations. Vertical ropes tend to hang from above, and are interacted with similarly the vine objects from ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''

=====''Donkey Kong Country''=====
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
Ropes appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' as vertical objects either stationary or repeatedly swing back and forth like a [[vine]], the latter of which is mainly used to travel across large gaps. Both the regular ropes and the swinging ropes first appear in the second level, [[Ropey Rampage]], where [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must use them to travel between treetops. In later levels, some vertical ropes only start to swing once the Kongs grab on to them. Swinging ropes constantly sway back and forth without a loss of momentum. When grabbing on to a swinging rope, the [[Kong]]s are moved down to the lower end, even if they grab the top. The Kongs cannot climb up a swinging rope, and in some cases have to jump from several of them, usually while avoiding enemies, in order to progress. In [[Forest Frenzy]], there are long vertical ropes that slowly move across pits. None of the [[Animal Friend]]s have the ability to hold on to a rope.

In [[Slipslide Ride]], there are unique blue and purple ropes, which slide the Kongs up and down respectively. For both types, the player can hold the opposite directional button to stop the Kongs from slipping.

=====''Donkey Kong Land''=====
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
Vertical ropes in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' are contained within patches, and landing on one causes the vertical rope to come out and begin to quickly float upward. Either Kong must grab the rope to be taken to a [[Bonus Level]], which occurs once the rope goes off-screen. [[Slippa]]s also have a new behavior in which they slither up and down ropes.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', some vertical ropes are contained within patches on the ground. If Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong break one of these patches, a vertical rope comes out and quickly begins to float upward. Either Kong must grab the rope to be taken to a [[Bonus Level]], which occurs once the rope goes off-screen. [[Slippa]]s also have a new behavior in which they slither up and down ropes.


The game introduces rigging levels, which have vertical and horizontal ropes that often intersect. In these levels, Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong must climb these ropes, along with standard vertical ropes, to progress through the level.

Ropes in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' appear in both horizontal, vertical, and intersecting varieties, horizontal, and intersecting ropes all make a first appearance in the second level, [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Mainbrace Mayhem]]. Swinging ropes do not return, but swinging vines appear in two of the bramble levels, [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Bramble Scramble]] and [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Screech's Sprint]]. In these levels, standard horizontal and vertical ropes in general have the appearance of vines. In the swamp levels, there are cattails, which Diddy and Dixie can grab and hold on like a vertical rope. Chains in [[Castle Crush]] and [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Chain Link Chamber]] take the appearance and role of ropes. [[Klinger]]s are enemies with an instinctive ability to climb ropes; they repeatedly climb up a rope, a chain, or a cattail before sliding down. Ghostly [[Rope (ghost)|rope]]s are also introduced, and they are used like non-moving vertical ropes, but with the key difference of vanishing and reappearing every few seconds.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', horizontal ropes were introduced and climbable vertical ropes make a returning appearance. The rigging levels, consisting of intersecting ropes, also return from ''Donkey Kong Land''. The vertical, horizontal, and intersecting ropes all make a first appearance in the second level, [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mainbrace Mayhem]].
 
Swinging ropes do not return, although two of the bramble levels, [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]] and [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Screech's Sprint]], have swinging vines instead. In these levels, standard horizontal and vertical ropes in general have the appearance of vines. In the swamp levels, there are cattails, which Diddy and Dixie can grab and hold on like a vertical rope. In [[Castle Crush]] and [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]], chains take the appearance and role of ropes.
 
The game introduces [[Klinger]]s, an enemy with an instinctive ability to climb ropes; they repeatedly climb up a rope, a chain, or a cattail before sliding down. Ghostly [[Rope (species)|rope]]s are also introduced, and they appear throughout the level, [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Ghostly Grove]]. They are used like non-moving vertical ropes, but have a key difference of vanishing and reappearing every few seconds.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', ropes serve the same purpose as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
 
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', both the vertical and horizontal ropes return. The horizontal ropes have a different appearance in each setting.


Ropes in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' serve the same purpose as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
The level [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]] features several vertical ropes that are lit by a small flame at the bottom. When Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] touch one of these ropes, the flame begins to light up the rope, and the Kongs must quickly climb up the rope without touching the flame at the tip while avoiding incoming enemies. If the Kongs fall off one of these ropes, they lose a life. In [[Konveyor Rope Klash]], there are ropes that move either left or right rapidly like a conveyor belt, although it is possible for Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to jump or move in the opposite direction.


=====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' / ''Donkey Kong Land III''=====
The game introduces another enemy, [[Klasp]]s, who wear a [[TNT Barrel]] and move across horizontal ropes. In many cases, Dixie and Kiddy must jump from several horizontal ropes while avoiding them.

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====
===''Mario Party'' series===
Ropes in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' are used exactly the same way as in the Game Boy version of ''Donkey Kong''. Some worlds replace ropes with [[Chain (object)|chains]], such as in [[Fire Mountain]] and [[Twilight City]], but are no different in usage.
In the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, ropes are mainly found in [[minigame]]s. In [[Hot Rope Jump]], located in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the players are supposed to jump over a rope made of [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s. In [[Get a Rope]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the player's task is to choose one out of three ropes. [[Chump Rope]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' has a similar objective compared to Hot Rope Jump; however, it is a 1-vs.-3 minigame as opposed to a 4-player minigame. A jump-rope once again appears in [[Skipping Class]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''.
 
====''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''====
Ropes in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' appear in four varieties, with the most basic being a swinging type that commonly appears as vines.<ref name=jbshoga>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' Shogakukan book|page=[http://i.imgur.com/m4yDpvD.jpg 12-13]|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|language=ja}}</ref> Another type is a taut horizontal rope that bounces Donkey Kong when he jumps on it, another type acts similar to a zipline, and the final one is a vertically oriented one he slides down.
