'''Bulrushes''' are blue ''Triceratops''/bison-like creatures wearing tracksuits that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They appear in the levels [[Bulrush Coming Through!]], [[Bulrush Express]], [[KO Arena Pipe-Rock Rumble]], and [[Expert Badge Challenge Invisibility I]]. Normally standing idly on two legs, Bulrushes get down on all fours and attempt to ram any player that comes too close to them. Their charging attack allows them to destroy [[Hard Block]]s and any other destructible blocks in their way. Once a Bulrush collides with a wall they cannot destroy, however, they will be stunned for a short time before regaining composure. The player can stand on Bulrushes to ride them as they move. It takes six [[fireball]]s from a [[Fire Flower]] or a single attack in [[Drill Mario|drill form]] to defeat a Bulrush. Their English name comes from the {{wp|American football}} term "bull rush", referring to their appearance and behavior.<ref>[https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/f6d2505a-dd79-410d-b350-b2b2036213f0 マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。～その1～【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.13】].

During the [[Wonder Effect]] in Bulrush Coming Through!, Bulrush Express, and [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]], a herd of Bulrushes stampede through the stage, plowing through blocks and enemies alike (even knocking away the normal [[Goal Pole]], allowing access to the secret goal) while making quick jumps high off of slopes. They are similar to [[Spine Coaster]]s in a way, as, in some levels, riding the herd is the only way to traverse mostly groundless areas and even reach important places and items, though the player will be left behind if they jump off as the herd continues rushing forward. | During the [[Wonder Effect]] in Bulrush Coming Through!, Bulrush Express, and [[The Final Battle!
