Chains appear in the Super Mario franchise, being 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. The latter are referred to as hanging chains,[1][2] sometimes capitalized.[3]
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Jr.[edit]
The Jump Board Scene and the Chain Scene of Donkey Kong Jr. feature chains. They are climbed by the player character in the same manner as the vines and poles that appear in other levels.
Super Mario series[edit]
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, chains 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[edit]
Hanging chains appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, in which they are swung on rather than climbed by the player character, similarly to the 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[edit]
In New Super Mario Bros. U, hanging chains can once again be swung on by player characters, with the same functionality as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They make a prominent appearance in the course Walking Piranha Plants!, in which they are used to swing and jump past numerous Stalking Piranha Plants.
In New Super Luigi U, chains are the eponymous fixture of Iggy's Swinging-Chains Castle. They are needed to cross lava swells and reach Iggy.
Paper Mario[edit]
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[edit]
Chains appear in Wario World, first found in Greenhorn Ruins. They are once again climbable objects, which Wario can scale and rotate himself around.
