'''Bramballs''' are a type of enemy found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', found solely in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 5-3|World 5-3]]. They appear as orange spherical [[Pokey]]-esque enemies with brambles for arms jutting out of their sides and yellow suction cup-like feet. Their sole attack is moving around a set path by flipping themselves around and planting their feet on flat surfaces. Their feet are similar to that of [[Plungelo]]s, and in the [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii/Beta elements|beta version]] of the game, Bramballs have brown feet instead of yellow. When they reach the end of a small piece of land or wall, they will flip the other way and continue moving. Touching a Bramball's feet or arms will hurt the player.

Bramballs can be defeated by jumping on the ball in the center, freezing them as [[Ice Mario]] or [[Penguin Mario]] and [[Ground Pound]]ing on them while frozen, being hit by [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s and a [[Star]]. Hitting them from underneath will release [[coin]]s and cause them to temporarily stop flipping over. Hitting them while launching out of a [[Cannon Pipe|Warp Pipe]] cannon instantly defeats one and causes them to release twenty coins.
