==History==
===''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''===
In ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', [[Bear (enemy)|Bear]]s roll Beach Balls under their feet, moving with them slowly from side to side. The Beach Ball continues to bounce and roll at the same speed even after the Bear on it is defeated, changing orientation when bumping into a wall. The ball can carry [[Mario]] like a moving platform. It can be so used in the level [[Mario the Circus Star!]] to pass wide [[Spike Trap|spiky surfaces]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
A Beach Ball<ref name="MKT">''Mario Kart Tour'' in-game name</ref> appears in the [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]] course of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''Mario Kart Tour'', floating in the water-filled bathtub along with a [[Toy Duck]] and a [[Hoop]]. It primarily serves a decorative purpose, though in ''Mario Kart Tour'' it also gives bonus points if hit with a [[Banana]], a [[Giant Banana]], or a [[Bob-omb]].
