A beanstalk appeared in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Mario and the Beanstalk]]", which in itself was a spoof of ''[[Wikipedia: Jack and the Beanstalk|Jack and the Beanstalk]]''. The premise of the episode involved Mario and Luigi foolishly trading [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s [[Royal Cow]] for garbanzo beans, which the Princess rejected by sneezing them out of Mario's hand and into the soil, due to her allergy. The beans grew into a huge beanstalk overnight, which led Mario's group up into the clouds, where they discovered an enlarged [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s castle.

After escaping from the castle, King Koopa summoned several [[Hoopster]]s to stop Mario and friends' progress on their way back down the beanstalk. However, the Hoopsters were quickly defeated by having freshly-picked garbanzo beans thrown at them. Upon reaching the bottom, Luigi chopped down the beanstalk with an axe, which brought King Koopa's entire castle crashing down with it.

Small Beanstalks could also be seen in the background of a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, they were never integral to the plot of any episode.

In the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Party Line]]", countless beanstalks were used as telephone lines (or rather, vines) for the [[Cave People]] of [[Dome City]]. After the concept of telephones proved to be unnecessary for the Cave People, Yoshi was given the job of eating all the vines.
