| 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. | | Crystal Balls are first seen in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its update, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

| 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]]''. | | They are seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main magic tool for [[Merlon]]'s family.

| 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]]. | | In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when Chapter 5 is complete, the player can go see [[Merlee]] at [[Flopside]].

| | [[Madame Clairvoya]] uses one to see the future and other things in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]]s are also encased in one as packaging of sorts in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. 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]]. [[Kamek]] used one in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. |

| |
| 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.

| |
| 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.
