First appearance Donkey Kong Jr. (1982)
Latest appearance New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (2019)

Chains appear in the Super Mario franchise as metal objects most commonly used by player characters to access otherwise unreachable areas. They are either taut and climbable like ladders, or can be swung from like rope swings.

History

Donkey Kong Jr.

Chain Scene from the arcade version of Donkey Kong Jr.
Chains in the Chain Scene in Donkey Kong Jr.

Chains in Donkey Kong Jr. can be climbed by Donkey Kong Jr. in the Jump Board Scene and the Chain Scene, and he can do so in the same manner as the vines and poles that appear in other levels.

Super Mario series

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2

Chains in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2 appear only in indoor dungeon areas and can be climbed by the player character, functioning identically to the beanstalks and ladders found in other environments. Chains are first seen in World 1-3.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Chains in New Super Mario Bros. Wii are swung on rather than climbed by the player character, similarly to the hanging vines found in World 5. Two chains in 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

Chains in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their Nintendo Switch port can once again be swung on by player characters, with the same functionality as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Chains in the New Super Mario Bros. U level Walking Piranha Plants! prominently appear, and they are used to swing and jump past numerous Stalking Piranha Plants. Chains in the New Super Luigi U level Iggy's Swinging-Chains Castle are the eponymous fixture, and are needed to cross lava swells and reach Iggy Koopa.

Paper Mario

Chains in Paper Mario appear in a certain area of Bowser's Castle, and can be grabbed and pulled downward by Mario, which can cause the room to become flooded with water or to drain the water if the room is already flooded.

Wario World

Chains in Wario World are objects that Wario can scale and rotate himself around. Chains first appear in Greenhorn Ruins.
