'''Bulrushes''' are blue bison-like creatures wearing tracksuits that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

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]], allowing access to the secret goal) while making quick jumps high off of slopes. They are similar to [[Spine Coaster]]s in a way, as, in some levels, riding the herd is the only way to traverse mostly groundless areas and even reach important places and items, though the player will be left behind if they jump off as the herd continues rushing forward.

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, Expert Badge Challenge Invisibility I, and The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage. 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. Their English name comes from the American football term "bull rush", referring to their appearance and behavior.[1] It is also a pun on the plant of the same name.

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, allowing access to the secret goal) while making quick jumps high off of slopes. They are similar to Spine Coasters in a way, as, in some levels, riding the herd is the only way to traverse mostly groundless areas and even reach important places and items, though the player will be left behind if they jump off as the herd continues rushing forward.
