'''Chains''' are metallic structures that can be climbed or hung from.
'''Chains''' are recurring metal objects in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. In nearly all appearances, chains are used by the player character to access areas that would otherwise be unreachable. They are either taut and climbable like [[ladder]]s, or can be swung from like rope swings.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', chains appear in the [[Jump Board Scene]] and the [[Chain Scene]], in which they can be climbed by [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in the same manner as the vines and [[pole]]s that appear in other levels.

====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Chains appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', first found in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-3]]. They are found only in indoor dungeon areas and can be climbed by [[Mario]] and friends, functioning identically to the [[beanstalk]]s and [[ladder]]s found in other environments.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Chains appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', in which they are swung on rather than climbed by Mario and friends, similarly to the hanging vines found in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]]. Two chains appear in [[World 8-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-6]], in which they are used to reach the top of the level.
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Chains return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', in which they can once again be swung on by Mario and friends, with the same functionality as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They make a prominent appearance in the level [[Walking Piranha Plants!]], in which they are used to swing and jump past numerous [[Stalking Piranha Plant]]s.
In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', chains are the eponymous fixture of [[Iggy's Swinging-Chains Castle]] in [[Soda Jungle]]. They are needed to cross [[lava swell]]s and reach [[Iggy Koopa]].
