-'''{{wp|Cactus}}es''' (or "'''cacti'''") are spiny desert plants that commonly appear as background objects, though occasionally they can be interacted with. In the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, cactuses are most often represented by the [[Pokey]] enemy and its relatives.
+'''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.

 ====''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.
