Rewrote opening paragraph. Removed "effect" description from infobox since they function like switches in Paper Mario.) |

Chains are recurring metal objects in the 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 ladders, or can be swung from like rope swings.
History
Donkey Kong Jr.
In 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 poles that appear in other levels.
Super Mario series
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. They are found only in indoor dungeon areas and can be climbed by Mario and friends, functioning identically to the beanstalks and ladders 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. Two chains appear in 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 Plants.
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 swells and reach Iggy Koopa.
Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, chains appear in a certain area of Bowser's Castle. Mario can grab them and pull them downward, acting as a type of switch which can cause the room to become flooded with water or to drain the water if the room is already flooded.
Wario World
Chains appear in Wario World, first found in Greenhorn Ruins. They are once again climbable objects, which Wario can scale and rotate himself around.
