==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:Bramble Blast DKC2.png|thumb|right|The [[Bramble Blast (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Blast]] level from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]].]]
The first appearance of Brambles is in the game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Here, they are an obstacle featured prominently in several levels and also in several bonus stages. The theme for bramble-based levels is referred to as "Stickerbush Symphony" by the official soundtrack and "Stickerbush Symphony" by the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. A remixed version called "[[Bramble Blast]]" is available as a [[CD]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They later appear in the [[Game Boy]] counterpart to ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

====''Donkey Kong 64''====
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.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' / ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', Brambles reappear in the level [[Crazy Cart]].

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', they appear in the level [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]].

===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
[[File:DKJC Falling Falls.png|thumb|left|Brambles in ''DK: Jungle Climber''.]]
Brambles appear 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.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:Windmilride.png|thumb|Brambles growing from the Big Windmill in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
Brambles make their first appearance outside a ''Donkey Kong'' game 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.

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

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:MarioBrosWiiBramble.png|thumb|Mario approaching some Brambles in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
Brambles make their third appearance in a [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' game]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], where they act as obstacles to impede Mario's progress. After [[Iggy Koopa]], the world boss, is defeated the bramble vines will disappear. Also, a type of bramble enemy called [[Bramball]] appears in this game.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', brambles appear in one section of [[Dimble Woods]] where [[Luigi]] must travel in the withered [[Giant Sockop]] across a patch of them to reach a group of normal [[Sockop]]s, one of which has Mario, and another, an [[Attack Piece Block]]. After the Sockops are defeated, the Brambles must be crossed via narrow twisting platforms.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Brambles reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They appear in [[Somnom Woods]], and can be Side Drilled through. If Mario or Luigi touch them, they act like a wall. When they are passed through, they slightly expand.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Brambles make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' in [[Toad Road]]. Multiple Brambles appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' mainly in [[Mushroom Park]], where they can be seen behind the [[Tower]] and [[Fortress]].

===Other appearances===
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.
