'''Cactuses''' (or '''cacti''') are spiny desert plants that commonly appear as decorative objects in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, though occasionally they can be interacted with. From ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' onward, cactuses have been strikable objects in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' platform games and release a [[coin]] if hit indirectly. Making physical contact damages the player character. | |||
{{ | Cactuses are the basis for [[Pokey]]s and related enemies. In many games, tall cactuses have branching arms and most closely resemble the {{wp|saguaro}}. Stout, round ones bear flowers and resemble {{wp|ball cactus}}es. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', tall cacti appear as platforms in desert stages.

[[File:SpinyDesertCactusEvent.png|thumb|[[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] prepares to take the shortcut through the cacti in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'']] | |||
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', two cacti appear on a shortcut in [[Spiny Desert]]. To use the shortcut properly, the player character needs to jump over them. Failing to do so will cause the character to leap with pain to a corresponding sign elsewhere on the board. Hitting the first cactus takes them significantly before the shortcut's beginning, and hitting the second cactus (which has eyelashes and a flower crown) takes them slightly after the shortcut's end. As such, it can be useful to hit one depending on where the player needs to go. | |||
