'''Bramballs''' are orange [[Pokey]]-esque enemies with a permanent frown, brambles for legs, and yellow suction cup-like feet. They appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Their name is a play on the words "bramble" and "ball". They walk around by moving one of their legs to either the left or right as an attempt to hit [[Mario]].

Bramballs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being the enemies of the titular [[Bramball Woods]]. In this appearance, their heads turn out completely orange and a leaf sprouts from it at every vocal "[[Paah|paah]]" in the music, similar to regular Pokeys in newer appearances. If Mario hits the underside of a Bramball in this state, it will drop a large number of coins instead of just one. Tapping on one using Boost Mode would cause one to smile and turn the other way.
