Giant spiked balls appear as a course element as of version 2.0 of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Unlike regular [[Spike Ball]]s, they destroy any breakable blocks in their path.

Since they did not appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', new sprites are made for them. | Giant spiked balls appear as a course element as of version 2.0 of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.
