("Bulb" is used in another article, but the first game's Prima guide uses "rubbery bulb" consistently, so bulb seems to be short for it. (Also avoids inconvenient identifiers per Naming's source priority exception proposal.))

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Stretch Plants appear in various [[galaxy|galaxies]], most notably the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hit one with a [[spin]], it will stretch in the opposite direction, hitting any enemy or obstacle in the way. If it fails to hit an obstacle or an enemy, it will come right back and hit the plumber, causing him to fall back and lose some [[Star Bit]]s. If one is [[Ground Pound|ground pounded]] or run over by an enemy such as a Boulder or a Chomp, it will become flattened and unusable for a short period of time.

Stretch Plants appear during the final fight with [[Bowser]] at [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. They are seen in the second phase of the final battle and are used as protection against Bowser's [[fireball]]s and to attack him.

Stretch Plants reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. However, they are uncommon, only appearing in the [[Sky Station Galaxy]], [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]] and [[Battle Belt Galaxy]]. They keep their same appearance and use from the previous game. This time, they are used to defeat certain enemies such as [[Prickly Piranha Plant]]s and [[Silver Chomp]]s. [[Bee Eater]], a spiky variant, also makes an appearance.
