In the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], '''Brambles''' appear as a spiked vine-like plant, generally within the platforming games. The first ''Super Mario'' game that brambles appear in is ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Additionally, 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.


'''Bramble''' is a spiked vine-like plant found in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]].

[[File:DKC2 Brambles.png|thumb|The Bramble scenery in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'']]
Brambles in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' 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]]''.


The first appearance of Bramble is in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Here it is an obstacle featured prominently in a few levels found later in the game. The theme of Bramble-Based levels, called Stickerbrush Symphony, is widely remembered by players, and a remixed version, called [[Bramble Blast]] is available as a CD in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', Brambles appear in the level [[Crazy Cart]].


Bramble later appeared in the GameBoy sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
''[[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]].


Bramble also appears 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 Land 2''===
Brambles in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' have an identical role to their first appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.

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.


In the non-DK game [[Super Mario Galaxy]], a few giant brambles appeared in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]. Several of them grew 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.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Windmilride.png|thumb|Brambles growing from the Big Windmill in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
Brambles make their first appearance within the ''Super 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.


They make their second appearance in a Mario game in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in the stage [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], where they act as obstacles to impede Mario's progress. After [[Iggy Koopa]], the boss of the area is defeated the Bramble vines will disappear.

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.

This type of bramble also appear in the same galaxy on the last planet before the battle with [[Major Burrows]] in the third mission.

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.

[[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''====
