'''Bramballs''' are enemies that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. The name is a play on the words "bramble" and "ball". They walk around by moving one of their legs to either the left or right as an attempt to hit [[Mario]].

Bramballs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being the enemies of the titular [[Bramball Woods]]. In this appearance, their heads turn out completely orange and a leaf sprouts from it as the music beats, similar to regular Pokeys in newer appearances. If Mario hits the underside of a Bramball in this state, it will drop a large number of coins instead of just one. Tapping on one using Boost Mode would cause one to smile and turn the other way.

Bramballs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being the enemies of the titular [[Bramball Woods]]. In this appearance, their heads turn out completely orange and a leaf sprouts from it at every vocal "[[Paah]]" in the music, similar to regular Pokeys in newer appearances. If Mario hits the underside of a Bramball in this state, it will drop a large number of coins instead of just one. Tapping on one using Boost Mode would cause one to smile and turn the other way.

Three Bramballs are seen in [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' when Mario meets [[Toad]] in the [[Mushroom Forest]], with one standing over Mario, who nervously greets it. A Bramball can also be seen on [[Mario]]'s {{media link|TSMBM poster Mario.jpg|poster}} for the film. Unlike in the games, they lack their suction cup-like feet, have more realistic stems, and are part of the Mushroom Kingdom's wildlife.
