'''Bulrushes''' are blue bison-like creatures wearing tracksuits that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Their name comes from the plant of the same name, as well as the words "bull" and "rush," describing their appearance and behavior. They appear prominently in a level with their own name, [[Bulrush Coming Through!]]. The player is able to stand on Bulrushes, but they will also try to ram into the player if they get close and will destroy any [[Hard Block]]s or any destructible blocks in their way. If they hit a wall while ramming, they will become stunned for a short time before regaining composure. They take multiple hits to defeat by a [[Fire Flower]].<ref name=Gamescom>PPE PL (August 31, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkW4dJ5PF6c Super Mario Bros. Wonder - gameplay. Gamescom 2023].

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 Block]]s and any other destructible blocks in their way.

It takes six [[fireball]]s from a [[Fire Flower]] or a single attack in [[Drill Mario|drill form]] to defeat a Bulrush.
