'''Bramble''' is a spiked vine-like plant primarily that appears in both the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]], along with other games in both franchises. Bramble-like vines appear as the stalks for many [[Piranha Plant]]s, such as [[Naval Piranha]], [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s, [[Prickly Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Piranha Creeper]]s.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:DKC2 Brambles.png|thumb|right|The Bramble scenery in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'']]
The first appearance of Brambles in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', where they are an obstacle featured prominently in several levels and several bonus stages. The theme for bramble-based levels is referred to as "Stickerbush Symphony" by the official soundtrack and "Stickerbrush Symphony" by the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. An arranged version called "[[Bramble Blast]]" is available as a [[CD]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They later appear in the [[Game Boy]] counterpart to ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

====''Donkey Kong 64''====
Brambles return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Here, it is found in only one area, [[Fungi Forest]] at night. In this game [[Donkey Kong]] must use a Strong Kong Barrel to transform into his [[Strong Kong]] mode to cross a large patch of bramble which conceals a [[Kong Switch]] which must be pressed to open a nearby locked barn door.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', Brambles reappear in the level [[Crazy Cart]].

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], they appear in the [[Lost Mangroves]], being small, purple, and acting like [[Spike Trap|pits of spikes]]. Just like normal spikes, [[Cranky Kong]] can use his [[Cane Bounce]] to safely cross them. They have a bigger prominence later in the [[Bright Savannah]] level [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]].

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
Pits of brambles appear in [[Desert Oasis (level)|Desert Oasis]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]''. If Donkey Kong lands in one, he is damaged and launched back out.

===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
[[File:DKJC Falling Falls.png|thumb|left|Brambles in ''DK: Jungle Climber''.]]
Brambles appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they no longer make giant mazes, but still wildly grow in levels. Some also would constantly grow shorter and longer.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Windmilride.png|thumb|Brambles growing from the Big Windmill in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
Brambles make their first appearance within the ''Mario'' franchise in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where a few large vines can be found surrounding the [[Big Windmill]] in [[Bianco Hills]] whenever [[Petey Piranha]] is on top of it. These brambles are red with green spots, which twitch slightly. They disappear after Petey's first defeat.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Hedge Ring Planet.png|left|thumb|200px|Brambles in Gusty Garden Galaxy.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', a few giant brambles appear in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]. Several of them grow on a ring-like planet with [[Pull Star]]s in the middle. Going to this planet is only optional, as a [[Launch Star]] is meant to shoot [[Mario]] through the ring, and only a well-timed catch from a Pull Star can get Mario into the planet. This type of bramble also appear in the same galaxy on the last planet before the battle with [[Major Burrows]] in the third mission.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:MarioBrosWiiBramble.png|thumb|Some Brambles in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', brambles appear on the map of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], where they grow over various paths. Mario and company are not able to move through any path covered in brambles. Each time the player clears a level in World 5, the layout of the brambles changes, with some brambles disappearing while others relocate themselves. After defeating [[Iggy Koopa]] in {{world|5|castle}}, the bramble vines will disappear for the rest of the game.

In addition, World 5 introduces the [[Bramball]], an enemy with bramble-like limbs that is primarily found in the world's forest levels.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], brambles appear in one section of [[Dimble Woods]]. [[Luigi]] must travel in a withered [[Giant Sockop]] across a patch of them to reach a group of normal [[Sockop]]s, one of which has Mario, and the other an [[Attack Piece Block]]. After the Sockops are defeated, the brambles must be crossed via narrow twisting platforms.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Brambles reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They appear in [[Somnom Woods]], and can be [[Side Drill]]ed through. If Mario or Luigi touch them, they act like a wall. When they are passed through, they slightly expand.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Brambles make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in [[Toad Road]]. Multiple brambles appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in [[Mushroom Park]], where they can be seen behind the [[Tower]] and [[Fortress]].
