Cactuses (or "cacti") are spiny desert plants that commonly appear as background objects, though occasionally they can be interacted with. In the Mario franchise, cactuses are most often represented by the Pokey enemy and its relatives.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 2
In Super Mario Bros 2, tall Cacti appear as platforms in desert stages. Compared to most of the other platforms in the game, they often appear in large groups, with the player needing to go over each. Pokeys can travel through them, making them a slight obstacle.
Super Mario Odyssey
Cactuses later appear in Super Mario Odyssey, where they are found throughout the Sand Kingdom. If Mario runs into one of them, he will lose a piece of his Health Meter and a few of the thorns from the cactus will get stuck on his body. Mario can also destroy cactuses by running through them while riding a Jaxi. Some smaller, round cactuses appear in the Sand Kingdom as well, and they behave the same way. One cactus can be captured and moved in order to reveal a shining spot that Mario can ground-pound to reveal a Power Moon.
Mario Kart 64
In Mario Kart 64, cacti appear in Kalimari Desert as stationary obstacles, acting similar to trees. They return in the course's reappearances in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour.
