Ring (projectile)

Wendy O. Koopa throwing her Candy Ring

Candy Rings are circular projectiles that Wendy O. Koopa can shoot from her Magic Scepter. They are named for the fact that they are colored in red and white stripes, similar to a candy cane.

Candy Rings were first seen in Super Mario Bros. 3, where Wendy attempts to shoot them at Mario. They later reappear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where they were able to expand and squeeze Mario and Luigi. They once again return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they function the same way as in Super Mario Bros. 3. However, they changed colors from red and white to yellow. Her characteristic ring bracelets were also implied in New Super Mario Bros. U to be Candy Rings, due to their behaving in a similar manner to them when she throws them.
