The '''Bowling Ball''' is a [[Thing]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. It is the second-strongest ball-based Thing in the game and is first found on a side path in the [[The Bafflewood]], resting on a stump. It remains in Mario's [[Album]] until it is turned into a [[sticker]] at a [[Sling-a-Thing]] station. Once it has been used as a sticker and before the player completes [[Strike Lake]]'s secret exit, it returns to its original position. Once the player uses the Bowling Ball to uncover the secret exit, it returns as a Thing through a tree trunk ball return. This becomes the new position to find the Bowling Ball. After this point, the [[Trophy#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Trophy]] takes the original position. It can also be purchased from the [[Shady Toad]] for 150 [[coin]]s and sold as a sticker for 20 coins.

As a sticker, the Bowling Ball takes up four squares in Mario's Album. When it is used in battle, the battlefield darkens as Mario forms a bowling stance. After he thrusts his arm out, the Bowling Ball rolls into any onscreen enemies, possibly defeating them. The player may press {{button|3ds|a}} as Mario finishes his pose to increase the damage dealt. A banner reading "STRIKE!" appears after the Bowling Ball is used.

The Bowling Ball can also be placed into the [[Sticker Museum]] as #31, alongside the other ball-based Things. Its description identifies it as an orb of unknown purpose meant to be piloted by three brave [[Toad (species)|Toads]].
