==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Bowser's Shell Planet.png|thumb|200px|left|Rubbery bulbs found during the second phase of the final battle with Bowser in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', rubbery bulbs appear in various [[galaxy|galaxies]], most notably the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits 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 player character, causing him to fall back and drop some [[Star Bit]]s. If one is [[Ground Pound|ground-pounded]] or run over by an enemy such as a [[boulder|Ruby Rock]] or a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]], it will become flattened and unusable for a short period of time.

Bulbs 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.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====

Bulbs reappear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. However, they are uncommon, appearing only in [[Sky Station Galaxy]], the [[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. [[Spindleburr]]s, a spiky variant, also make an appearance.

===''Mario Party 10''===
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', three small bulbs can be seen on a grassy field with two [[Luma]]s and a flower bed in the northwestern part of the [[Rosalina Board]]. They are only decorative and do not affect gameplay.
