==History==
'''Crystal Balls''' are [[item]]s that have been featured in many games throughout the [[Mario]] series. They are first seen in ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are found at the end of most levels. Picking one up will open the [[Hawkmouth]] and allow the player to proceed to the next level. They are usually guarded by a [[Birdo]].

Crystal Balls are first seen in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its update, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where it gains an animated red line. They are found at the end of most levels. Picking one up will open the [[Mask Gate]] and allow the player to proceed to the next level, while in boss levels, they allow the player to face the world's boss. They are usually guarded by [[Birdo]]. In the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Birdo can be seen holding the Crystal Ball in front of her during battle. In later versions, it seems to come out of her snout upon defeat.
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
They are seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main magic tool for [[Merlon]]'s family. Merlon's crystal ball resembles a [[Star Point]] with eyes and uses it to predict [[Mario]]'s future actions. There is an [[Ultra Stone]] variant given by [[Raphael the Raven]] in the [[Jade Jungle]]. For one of [[Koopa Koot]]'s favors, Mario must retrieve a crystal ball from [[Merlee]] and give it to [[Merluvlee]] in exchange for her autograph. It is also seen with Merlon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
 
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when Chapter 5 is complete, the player can go see [[Merlee]] at [[Flopside]]. She claims that she wants a Crystal Ball from [[Merluvlee]], and wishes the player to go get it for her. After doing the task, Merlee rewards the player with a free charm and a key that opened a storehouse containing [[Piccolo]] the [[Pixl]].

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
They are seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main magic tool for [[Merlon]]'s family. There is an [[Ultra Stone]] variant. It is also seen with Merlon in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', [[Madame Clairvoya]] uses a Crystal Ball to see into the future. To make her appear, Luigi must continuously shine his light onto the Crystal Ball to cause it to light up with a pitch-increasing shimmering noise, eventually ending once she appears.


===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===

[[Madame Clairvoya]] uses one to see the future and other things in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Another is used in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', in the [[Seer Terror]] [[minigame]]. Bowser uses it to see a player's "future," which usually is something bad. Occasionally, however, the player receives [[Coin]]s or a [[Mushroom]].  
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]]s are encased in crystal balls after they are produced. In the first six worlds of the game, a Mini-Mario is trapped in a crystal ball at the end of the world's first six levels. The Mini-Mario must be freed by Mario, who picks up the crystal ball and throws it against the [[Fourth wall|game screen]] to shatter it. The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] makes the crystal balls look more capsule-like.


===''Game & Wario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when Chapter 5 is complete, players can go see [[Merlee]] at [[Flopside]]. She claims that she wants her Crystal Ball back from [[Merluvlee]], and wishes the player to go get it for her. After doing the task, Merlee rewarded the player with a key that opened a storehouse containing [[Piccolo]] the [[Pixl]].
In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', three Crystal Balls appear as [[Cluck-A-Pop]] prizes. [[File:CluckAPop Prize 049.png|50px]][[File:CluckAPop Prize 050.png|50px]][[File:CluckAPop Prize 051.png|50px]]
