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. Lemmy spawns a total of three balls (not counting the one he balances on), which do not disappear until the battle ends.

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.

Circus balls return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', but instead of hurting Mario if they touch him, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they instead simply bump him, which can push him off the edge. Circus balls also changed colors from green with orange stars to yellow with orange stars. Circus balls appear in {{world link|3|tower|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} and {{world link|3|castle|World 3-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where Lemmy himself is fought. Mario is supposed to jump off the balls to reach Lemmy, due to the icy floor. In the Castle fight, Lemmy has [[Kamek]] tripling the size of his ball, so he can bounce on it to move around. The balls also appear in the {{world|3|castle}} [[level]] itself, bouncing above [[Spike Trap|spikes]] leading to a [[Star Coin]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Lemmy rides a giant rubber ball in one of his attacks in [[Neo Bowser Castle]], when fighting alongside [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] and [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]. Lemmy rides his ball to try to crush Mario and [[Luigi]], but he fails if he is hit by the [[boomerang]].
