==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy'' / ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG Tropic Planets.png|thumb|200px|left|Prickly plants in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', prickly plants damage [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when touched, and the only way to destroy them is by attacking them with a [[rubbery bulb]], [[spin]]ning a [[coconut]] into them, having [[Yoshi]] eat them, or rolling into them in [[Rock Mario|Rock form]].

There are three types: the standard variant, a [[Giant prickly plant|larger variant]], and a floating variant. The larger variants, after being destroyed by a coconut, reveal a [[Sling Star]] or [[Launch Star]] leading to another planet. The floating variants serve as obstacles in various areas, and they are more common in certain galaxies, such as the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]], and [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]].

When touched by the [[Co-Star Luma]], prickly plants retract their spikes, allowing Mario or Luigi to pass over them safely without needing to destroy them.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====

Thistles later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', being first encountered in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4-1]]. As of this game, their thorns are stubbier and are arranged in a globe, instead of being grown from the plant's calyx like in the previous games; their leaves also continuously rotate around their stems. They can be destroyed with projectiles (such as the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]]'s [[fireball]]s) or a tail whip in [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]], or by landing on them in [[Statue Mario|Statue form]] or touching them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:BigThornyFlower.png|thumb|left|In ''Mario Party: Island Tour'']]
Thorny flowers are obstacles in a few [[minigame]]s of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', they appear in [[Goomba to Maneuver]], scattered on the path that the player needs to follow. The player needs to maneuver a line of [[Goomba]]s between them. Goombas that touch a thorny flower are flung away, reducing the number of Goombas in the line. Thorny flowers appear in both normal and big sizes, with bigger ones becoming more common as the minigame progresses. In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', thorny flowers in the minigame [[Leafboard Hoard]].
