They are usually small, but they can come in large varieties as well. Although they are usually found in fights with Lemmy, sometimes they appear as obstacles in his [[castle]]s. | ||

Magical balls are first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where Lemmy attempts to shoot them at [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) while balancing on one himself. They bounce on the floor, changing direction when they bump into a wall. If Mario touches one, he takes damage, unlike in future games; however, [[jump]]ing on one merely bounces him upwards, while causing the ball to flash between colors and drop to the floor | Magical balls are first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where Lemmy attempts to shoot them at [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) while balancing on one himself.

Fiery versions of magical balls appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are instead used by [[Iggy]] and [[Larry]]. They summon them out from their shells' neckline after ducking their heads inside, then roll them at Mario. Due to being fire, they cannot be jumped on, though they can be destroyed by [[slide|sliding]] into them, displaying a [[glitch]]ed sprite. | Fiery versions of magical balls appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are instead used by [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]] and [[Larry Koopa|Larry]].
