'''Vines''' (sometimes called '''Magic Vines''' or '''Beanstalks''') are used as [[ladder]]s in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and remain dormant inside [[? Block]]s. When the player hit the blocks containing the vines, a vine would grow allowing the player to use it as a ladder. Most vines have [[Piranha Plant]]s as their heads while they are growing. The head disappears when the vine is fully grown.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[Image:Vines.PNG|thumb|right|The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' Vines from left to right: ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World''.]]
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
Vines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' where they are activated to reach secret places such as [[Coin Heaven]] and [[Warp Zone]]s.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the stalks are already grown in the level and do not need to be activated.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' they match the color scheme of the world they are located in; brown for World 2, green for Worlds 3 and 4, blue for World 5, and white for World 6. One notable feature about the ''All-Stars'' and ''Advance'' versions is that the top of Vines resemble [[Piranha Plant]] heads, a trait that continued in the rest of the series.

====''Super Mario World''====

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Vines return to being green, and some grow toward breakable blocks. If Mario removes the blocks the stalk can continue rising, making shortcuts available. If the player is carrying an item such as a [[P-Switch]], the stalk cannot be climbed normally. The player can kick the item up, start to climb the Vine, and then hold the Y button again to catch the item coming down while climbing. Like other Piranha Plants, the standard Piranha Plant head will change into a [[Jumping Pumpkin Plant]] in ''Super Mario World'', after the player completes [[Funky (Super Mario World)|Funky]].

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====

Vines later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. In this game, they can grow downwards if the character hit the block containing the vine from above with a ground pound. Vines can also grow upwards if hit normally. Here, unlike ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', the top of the Vine still looks like a Piranha Plant, but the sprite isn't identical to the regular Piranha Plant's sprite. Also, all tips of the Vines are red, to look more like a Piranha Plant. Their stems also have a twisted appearance in the game.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Vines return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', serving the same function as in the other games, but having a slightly different appearance. The tips of the Vine return to their original green appearance. They also revert to their non-twisted appearance. Also, in World 7, there's a Vine on the [[World Map]] that leads the character to a back door from the World 7-Castle that takes the player right to [[Ludwig von Koopa]]. This can be accessed any time after finishing 7-6.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Vines return yet again and act like the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' variant. The ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' level [[Skyward Stalk]] and the ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' level [[Beanstalk Jungle]], both from [[Sparkling Waters]], contains a giant [[Beanstalk]] (which acts similarly to a Vine) to reach the end of the stage.

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a Vine appears where it help [[Mario]] and the others escape the attacking [[Spiny|Spinies]].

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Small Vines could also be seen in the background of a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. However, they were never integral to the plot of any episode.

====''Super Mario World'' television series====
In the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Party Line]]", countless vines were used as telephone lines for the [[Cave People]] of [[Dome City]]. After the concept of telephones proved to be unnecessary for the Cave People, Yoshi was given the job of eating all the vines.

===''Hotel Mario''===
A vine also appears in a ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' cutscene. [[Luigi]] [[kick]]s an [[! Block]], and a vine sprouts out which [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] climb to go to [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]].

===''Yoshi'' series===
{{main|Tall Flower}}
A vine is also an item in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', having a smaller head and smaller eyes in the latter game. Occasionally, when popping a ? Mark Cloud, [[Yoshi]] may uncover one of the seeds of these large, cheery plants. It then grows upwards at a very fast rate and produces ledge-like leaves while doing so. Unlike in other games, Yoshi must hop on its leaves instead of climbing it like a ladder.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', two vines are seen. One is seen at the end of [[Bean Valley]], and another is obtained after a side quest in [[Rose Town]] which leads to some secret items like the [[List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Lazy Shell|Lazy Shell]]. The multi-colored spiral vines in [[Nimbus Land]] might also count.

===''Mario Party 9''===
[[File:GrowingUp-Finish2-MP9.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Mario]] hanging from a Vine in [[Growing Up]].]]
Vines reappear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' looking exactly as they were in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In the [[Toad Road]] gameboard, a Vine can be accessed  landing on one of the [[Lucky Space]]s. It takes the captain to a cloud to collect [[Mini Star]]s. Vines also appear in the minigame, [[Growing Up]] where they get out of [[Brick Blocks]] as the players hit them.
