'''Vines''', also referred to as '''beanstalks''' and occasionally called '''Ivy''',<ref>{{cite|author=Yamashita, Tatsumi|title=''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=999832369X|page=28-29}}</ref> '''Magic Vines''',<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=14|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=June 1990|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Fine Vines''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=38|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0-7615-4425-9|language=en-us}}</ref> are recurring climbable objects in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' In that game and most subsequent appearances, vines are concealed within '''Vine Blocks''', [[block]]s that superficially resemble normal [[? Block]]s or [[Brick Block]]s until they are struck. When the player character hits a Vine Block, the vine emerges and rapidly ascends up the opposite direction. Vines often lead to hidden subareas in the sky, like [[Coin Heaven]]s.

Vines usually have [[Piranha Plant]]-like heads that flex their mouths as the vine extends, suggesting they may be related plants. The head disappears and the vine stops growing when it reaches an opposing surface, typically a ceiling.



==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:Vines.png|thumb|Sprites from each of the games in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'']]

====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' / ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''====
Beanstalks first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are activated to reach secret places such as [[Coin Heaven]] and [[Warp Zone]]s. In [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-2]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', a beanstalk is required to reach the end of the level.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
Unlike the previous game, in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', beanstalks are already grown in the level and do not need to be activated. They function identical to the [[chain (object)|chain]]s and [[ladder]]s found in other areas, and are sometimes suspended in midair.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' they match the color scheme of the world they are located in; brown for World 2, green for Worlds 3 and 4, blue for World 5, and white for World 6. One notable feature about the ''All-Stars'' and ''Advance'' versions is that the top of Beanstalks resemble [[Piranha Plant]] heads, a trait that started with ''Super Mario World'' and continued in the rest of the series.

====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:Vine SMW.png|thumb|left|Mario climbing a beanstalk in [[Yoshi's Island 2]]]]
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Beanstalks (also named Vines<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=41|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Super NES'' Player's Guide|page=9, 12, and 14|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1992|language=en-us}}</ref>) return to being green, and some grow toward breakable blocks. If Mario removes the blocks the stalk can continue rising, making shortcuts available. If the player is carrying an item such as a [[P Switch]], the stalk cannot be climbed normally. The player can kick the item up, start to climb the Beanstalk, and then hold {{button|snes|Y}} again to catch the item coming down while climbing. Like [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s, buds will change into pumpkins after the player completes [[Funky (level)|Funky]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Conventional beanstalks are absent in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', but there are green [[pole]]s that look like beanstalks extending down from a [[Cloud Lift|cloud]] in [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]]. One of them must be grabbed in order to collect one of the course's [[Red Coin]]s. Another one of these poles occurs in [[Goomboss Battle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', where the player needs to climb it in order to reach a floating piece of log that leads to a bridge and then to reach the arena with [[Goomboss]].

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Bean Stalk NSMB.png|frame]]
Beanstalks later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' In this game, they can grow downwards if the character hits the block containing the beanstalk from above with a ground pound. Beanstalks can also grow upwards if hit normally. Here, unlike ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', the top of the Beanstalk still looks like a Piranha Plant, but the sprite is not identical to the regular Piranha Plant's sprite. Also, all tips of the Beanstalks are red, to look more like a Piranha Plant. Their stems also have a twisted appearance in the game.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Beanstalks return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', serving the same function as in the other games, but having a slightly different appearance. The tips of the Beanstalk return to their original green appearance. Their stems also revert to their non-twisted appearance, and their lips are yellow. Also, in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]], there is a Beanstalk on the World Map that leads the character to a back door from the [[World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-Castle]] that takes the player right to [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]]. This can be accessed any time after finishing [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Beanstalks make a return, where they have their ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' appearance.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:NSMBU Skyward Stalk Screenshot.png|thumb|left|The large Beanstalk in Skyward Stalk]]
Beanstalks return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|port]] and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and act like the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' variant. The ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' level [[Skyward Stalk]] and the ''New Super Luigi U'' level [[Beanstalk Jungle]], both from [[Sparkling Waters]], feature special giant Beanstalks throughout the level. The [[Leaf Platform]]s on these Beanstalks grow over time and act as temporary platforms that will fall after a while. When they are about to fall, their colors begin to change from green to yellow, then to red. Enemies such as [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Goomba]]s can land on them. The Beanstalks also feature [[Bean Platform]]s that can roll in or out.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Vines make a return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be placed into stages either within or out of blocks. When used outside of blocks, players can extend their length, but when in blocks, they will grow up until the top of the stage or up to a ceiling. They can be used in all four styles, retaining their appearances, albeit with Piranha Plant heads added to their ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites. Shaking the beanstalk in the ''Super Mario World'' airship theme causes it to make an ancient wood pipe sound.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:Beanstalk SMO.png|thumb|Mario by a beanstalk in the Wooded Kingdom]]
Beanstalks make their debut in a 3D ''Super Mario'' game appearing in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', with three uses.

In the [[Wooded Kingdom]], Beanstalks are used to climb out of the [[Deep Woods]]. In order to make a Beanstalk appear, Mario must obtain a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] from a [[Steam Gardener]], and then he must plant the seed in small patch of dirt that has light shining over it. These Beanstalks never disappear, allowing Mario to climb back out of the Deep Woods if he falls there again.

In other places such as the [[Snow Kingdom]] or the upper part of the Wooded Kingdom, Beanstalks are instead used to reach bonus areas in the sky, containing many coins and two Power Moons. They are accessed the same way, by finding a seed and planting it in a nearby patch of dirt. Unlike the Beanstalks in the Deep Woods, these ones disappear after Mario exits the bonus area, and the seed must be planted anew to reach the area again.

Sometimes, in other kingdoms like the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], they are used to climb up to a certain area inaccessible by normal means. Like the Beanstalks in the Deep Woods, they never disappear.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Vines return as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In the story mode hub, a Vine sprouts out of a [[Hidden Block]] which allows Mario to talk to [[Soundfrog]]. Also, in [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|World Maker]], placing a cloud with a path leading to it causes a beanstalk to appear for [[Mario]] to climb.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:Grapple SMBW.jpg|thumb|left|Elephant Daisy using the Grappling Vine]]
Vines reappear as objects in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where some of them can be spawned by watering flowers as [[Elephant Mario]].<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=August 31, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0m_uNaSres|title=Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct 8.31.2023|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 2, 2023|language=en-us}}</ref> Sometimes the Piranha Plant-like heads can eat through [[Hard Block|Hard Blocks]]. The Grappling Vine badge also grants the player who equipped it the ability to shoot a Vine that latches onto walls.

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:SMB-GMTSPP_Beanstalk.png|thumb|A beanstalk lifting Mario off the ground as seen in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a beanstalk appears where it help [[Mario]] and the others escape the [[Big Spiny|big-sized Spinies]].

===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:Mariobeansmbss.jpg|thumb|left]]
A beanstalk appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Mario and the Beanstalk]]", which in itself is a reference to ''{{wp|Jack and the Beanstalk}}''. The premise of the episode involves Mario and Luigi foolishly trading [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s [[Royal Cow]] for garbanzo beans, which the Princess rejects by sneezing them out of Mario's hand and into the soil, due to her allergy. The beans grows into a huge beanstalk overnight, which leads Mario's group up into the clouds, where they discover an enlarged [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s castle.

After escaping from the castle, King Koopa summons several [[Hoopster]]s to stop Mario and friends' progress on their way back down the beanstalk. However, the Hoopsters are quickly defeated by having freshly-picked garbanzo beans thrown at them. Upon reaching the bottom, Luigi chops down the beanstalk with an axe, which brings King Koopa's entire castle crashing down with it.

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Small Beanstalks can also be seen in the background of a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, they are never integral to the plot of any episode.

====''Super Mario World'' television series====
In the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Party Line]]", countless beanstalks are used as telephone lines (or rather, vines) for the [[Cave People]] of [[Dome City]]. After the concept of telephones proves to be unnecessary for the Cave People, Yoshi is given the job of eating all the vines.

===''Hotel Mario''===
A beanstalk also appears in a ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' cutscene. [[Luigi]] [[kick]]s an [[! Block]], and a beanstalk sprouts out which [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] climb to go to [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]].

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
{{quote|Wow! Did you see that? It's a magical beanstalk! Hit the block once more to climb it.|In-game text|''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''}}
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', two beanstalks are seen. One is seen at the end of [[Bean Valley]], which leads to an area of [[Beanstalk (Super Mario RPG)|the same name]] that features floating, multi-colored spiral vines with a similar function. Another grows after a side quest in [[Rose Town]], and leads to some secret items like the [[Lazy Shell]]s.
{{br}}

===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:FlowerFieldsPM.png|thumb|The beanstalk in [[Flower Fields]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario must grow a beanstalk in [[Flower Fields]] to access [[Cloudy Climb]] and face off with [[Huff N. Puff]] for the [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]] [[Klevar]]. To grow it, Mario must first collect the [[Magical Bean]], [[Fertile Soil]], and [[Miracle Water]], and destroy Huff N. Puff's [[Puff Puff Machine]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MK8 Cloudtop Cruise.png|thumb|left|The vine that makes up part of Cloudtop Cruise]]
Vines are a major fixture of [[GBA Sky Garden|Sky Garden]], a course seemingly based on [[Coin Heaven]]s that appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and Wave 1 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. In all adaptations of the course, vines pop out of the clouds in the background and some interlaced ones make up parts of the road, interconnecting clouds. In ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the leaves on the vines can be used as a shortcut.

A giant vine appears as the last portion of [[Cloudtop Cruise]], a course similar to Sky Garden in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is part of the road, and sprouts from a giant, rusted Vine Block. Some of its leaves can also be used as a shortcut to the finish line.
{{br}}

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 3''====
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', beanstalks appear in the mini-game [[Parasol Plummet]], where the characters fall from the sky and [[Hammer Bro]]s. throw hammers at them.

====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:MP9 Growing Up Winner.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] hanging from a Beanstalk in [[Growing Up]]]]
Beanstalks reappear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' looking exactly as they were in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In the [[Toad Road]] gameboard, a Beanstalk can be accessed landing on one of the [[Lucky Space]]s. It takes the captain to a cloud to collect [[Mini Star]]s. Beanstalks also appear in the minigame [[Growing Up]], where they get out of [[Brick Block]]s as the players hit them.

===''Yoshi's New Island''===
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', different beanstalks appear in [[Bouncy Beanstalk Walk]].

===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
The giant beanstalk from the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' level [[Skyward Stalk]] and ''New Super Luigi U'' level [[Beanstalk Jungle]] reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as a stage element on all four variants of the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage. Occasionally, it grows in the middle of the stage and provides extra platforms for fighters to use.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Chorus Fruit, Vines, Chorus Flowers, and Chorus Plants are replaced by Beanstalks.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', Luigi has to grow a vine on the [[Garden Suites]] area after defeating [[Dr. Potter]] in order to reach the [[elevator button]] to [[Paranormal Productions]].
===''Mario Strikers: Battle League''===
In ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]'', Vines appear as goal-line decorations in the Strikers Club customization options for [[Mushroom Hill]]. Additionally, Vines appear surrounding the largest version of the stadium as well.
