Briers[1] are floating creatures that are covered in spikes. They only appear in Yoshi Touch & Go.

History[edit]

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

Briers are common enemies in this game, and they appear in almost every level. Shooting eggs is the only way to defeat them, as they pop bubbles that are drawn on them. Briers continually pulse their thorns in and out; hitting them while their thorns are retracted allows the egg used to go through them while hitting them while their thorns are extended destroys both the egg and the Brier. There are two varieties of Brier: the normal, green variety and the red variety; the only difference between these varieties is that they each pulse their thorns at opposite intervals. Additionally, there is a variant called a Marucchi that can be encased in a bubble.

In the game's tech demo predecessor, Balloon Trip, the design and palette of Briers seemed to indicate that they were actually the Urchins of Super Mario World. These Urchin-like Briers were only seen in one standard variety.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

A sticker of a Brier appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In The Subspace Emissary, the sticker can be used on any fighter to increase their launch resistance by 7 points.
