'''Bulrushes''' are blue ''Triceratops''/bison-like creatures wearing tracksuits that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Their name is a pun on [[Wikipedia:Bulrush|the plant of the same name]], as well as a portmanteau of "bull" and "rush", referring to their appearance and behavior. They appear prominently in a level with their own name, [[Bulrush Coming Through!]]. Normally standing idly on two legs, these enemies would get down on all fours and attempt to ram any player that comes too close to them. The player can stand on Bulrushes, allowing them to ride these animals as they destroy [[Hard Block]]s or any destructible blocks in their way. Once a Bulrush collides with a wall they cannot destroy, however, they will get stunned for a short time before regaining composure. It takes as many as six [[fireball]]s from a [[Fire Flower]]-equipped player to defeat a Bulrush.

During the [[Wonder Effect]] in Bulrush Coming Through!, [[Bulrush Express]], and [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]], a herd of Bulrushes stampede through the stage, plowing through blocks and enemies alike (even knocking away the normal [[Goal Pole]] of Bulrush Coming Through!, allowing access to the secret goal) while making quick jumps high off of slopes. They are, in a way, similar to [[Bonecoaster]]s, as, in some levels, riding the herd is the only way to traverse mostly groundless areas and even reach important places and items. During these times, the player must take great care not to jump off at the wrong time, as the herd would continue rushing forward, potentially leaving the player over a bottomless pit or some other hazardous area.

Bulrushes are blue creatures based on both Triceratops and bison wearing tracksuits that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They appear in the levels Bulrush Coming Through!, Bulrush Express, KO Arena Pipe-Rock Rumble, and Expert Badge Challenge Invisibility I. Normally standing idly on two legs, Bulrushes get down on all fours and attempt to ram any player that comes too close to them. Their charging attack allows them to destroy Hard Blocks and any other destructible blocks in their way. Once a Bulrush collides with a wall they cannot destroy, however, they will be stunned for a short time before regaining composure. The player can stand on Bulrushes to ride them as they move. It takes six fireballs from a Fire Flower or a single attack in drill form to defeat a Bulrush.
