Bramble
Bramble is a spiked vine-like plant found rarely in the Donkey Kong Universe.
The first appearance of bramble is in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Here it is an obstacle featured prominantly in a few levels found later in the game.
Bramble later appeared in the GameBoy sequel to Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Land 2.
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.
Bramble appears 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.
