Thorny flowers,[1] also described as spiky things,[2] prickly plants,[3] plants,[4] prickly flowers,[5] spikes,[6] and thistles,[7] are obstacles first appearing in Super Mario Galaxy. They are red spiked plants.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2

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, spinning a coconut into them, having Yoshi eat them, or rolling into them in Rock form.

There are three types: the standard variant, a 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. 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 form's fireballs), a tail whip in Tanooki form, by landing on them in Statue form, or by touching them while invincible.

Mario Party series

In Mario Party: Island Tour

Thorny flowers are obstacles in a few minigames of the 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 Goombas 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.
