==Gameplay==
The object of the game is to keep juggling [[bomb]]s, [[Super Star|Star]]s, and [[heart (item)|heart]]s. In Game A, [[Mario]] has to juggle by himself next to a [[Toad (species)|Mushroom retainer]] who will laugh if he makes a mistake. Game B introduces characters such as the [[Hammer Bro]] and [[Lakitu]] that periodically grab some of the items and then toss them back in. As time goes on, the number of objects being juggled increases from one to three (four in Game B with a second heart), and the items fall faster. As with most Game & Watch games, getting three misses causes a [[Game Over]].

*The "Modern" version of ''Ball'' found in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' also features ''Super Mario'' characters in place of the doll; the second mode has Mario himself as the player's character, who juggles hearts and Stars here as well. However, this version is based on the original 1980 handheld, not ''Mario the Juggler''.
