Bramballs[1][2] are orange Pokey-esque enemies with a permanent frown, brambles for legs, and yellow suction cup-like feet. Bramballs appear in a few of the New Super Mario Bros. games, and make their debut appearance in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The first time Bramballs appear in a game with Donkey Kong content is Mario Golf: Super Rush, in which they were introduced in the version 4.0.0 update. Here, Bramballs appear in Shelltop Sanctuary and the Forest course of Target Golf. In Shelltop Sanctuary, four Bramballs stand in a row on a waste area, while one stands on two elevated slabs of stone. If a Bramball gets hit by a golf ball, it rotates its head all the way around.
