'''Spike Balls''', also referred to as '''Spiked Balls''' (sometimes lowercase), are iron<ref>Nintendo (December 2, 2019). [https://youtu.be/x66vguSN8Rk?t=10 Super Mario Maker 2 - A Legendary Update - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 14, 2020</ref> balls with silver or white spikes that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They were originally spat out and thrown by [[Spike]]s and used by [[Ptooie]]s, but they can later be found independently. They mainly appear in castle levels, where they roll around and destroy other obstacles. [[Spinner]]s are a variant of Spike Balls, which hang from chains and swing in various motions. Stone Spike Balls are spat out by [[Stone Spike]]s instead of the metal balls, which have the same effect. Another form of the Spike Ball is the [[Giant Spiked Ball]], which is a larger version of the Spike Ball. It has similar features but causes the destruction on a larger scale. Spike Balls can usually be defeated with [[Invincible Mario]]; however, in some games, the use of the [[Super Star]] only prevents damage to Mario.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Spiked balls first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they are approximately the size of [[Spiny Egg]]s. They are spat out and thrown straight left or right by [[Spike]]s, as well as continuously blown into the air by [[Ptooie]]s. In this game, the player can jump on Spikes even if they are holding a spiked ball.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', since Spikes are absent in this game, Spiked Balls are always seen rolling along the floor from off-screen, though they may also roll in a half-pipe motion between two hills. The game also features [[Giant Spiked Ball]]s. They, like their smaller counterparts, are almost indestructible, except to [[Mega Mario]] or Mega Luigi. They act similarly to the [[Iron ball|rolling balls]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are usually found in castles and can also destroy anything it rolls over, including the smaller Spiked Balls.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Spiked Ball Model.png|frame|left]]
''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' features Spikes throwing spiked balls, as well as introducing the Stone Spike to throw stone spiked balls. In this game, spiked balls thrown by Spikes cannot break [[Brick Block|brick]]s. Giant Spiked Balls are found only in the [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] where they appear in [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]]. Giant Spiked Balls with shorter spikes and active fuses appear in {{world-link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, where [[Bowser Jr.]] uses them as exploding weapons against [[Mario]]. However, Mario can use them against him by [[Ground Pound]]ing the ground to throw them into the [[Koopa Clown Car]] three times.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Both spiked balls and giant spiked balls return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They function very similarly to the preceding games. They can be destroyed by [[Statue Mario]] and invincibility.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', both spiked balls and giant spiked balls reappear. A pair of very large spiked balls appear in {{world-link|mushroom|castlen2|World Mushroom-Castle}}. Similar to ''New Super Mario Bros.'', they are always seen rolling from off-screen due to the absence of Spikes in this game. [[Ice Ball (obstacle)|Ice Ball]]s appear in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-1]]. Spiked balls can be found in {{world-link|mushroom|A|World Mushroom-A}}, and a giant spiked ball helps Mario obtain a [[Star Coin]]. Spiked balls also feature in the battle against [[Morton Koopa Jr.]], where Morton fires them from his wand to attack Mario/[[Luigi]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' sees the return of both Spikes and Stone Spikes with spiked balls. They can now throw the spiked balls straight down rather than just left or right as they did in previous games. Regular spiked balls alone are replaced by [[Grrrol]]s.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', spiked balls appear in the level [[Land of Spikes]]. They are mainly thrown by Spikes like in previous games; some spiked balls spawn independently, though ahead of a Spike's position, appearing as though they were produced by the Spike. During the final battle, Bowser's Koopa Clown Car spits out giant spiked balls, which can destroy certain platforms.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Spike Ball.jpg|thumb|150px|A Spike Ball in [[Bowser's Kingdom]]]]
Spike Balls, described as '''cannonballs''' by [[Prima Games]],<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Joe Epstein. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Prima Official Guide. Page 107.</ref> return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they only appear being released by a [[Yoofoe]] during its fight. [[Shell (Super Mario Odyssey)|Shell]]s that act similarly to Spike Balls appear in the [[Seaside Kingdom]].

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In version 2.0 of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Spike Balls are thrown by Spikes in all level themes except the snow theme, where they are replaced by [[snowball]]s, and can also be placed as a separate object. They fly forward in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles similar to the latter style's original game, though if they fly towards the ground, they will start to roll. In the ''Super Mario World'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' styles, they roll along the ground. They can be [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]ed on, activate [[? Block]]s, [[POW Block]]s, and [[ON/OFF Switch]]es, can be eaten and spit out with [[Yoshi]], and act as weight on [[Seesaw]]s in the latter two styles. Giant spiked balls thrown by [[Mega Spike]]s can break through blocks. Since they did not appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''Super Mario 3D World'', new sprites are made for them. They can also be tossed by Lakitus for the first time since ''Yoshi's Story''.

===''Wario'' franchise===
====''Wario Land'' series====
=====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''=====
[[File:Spiked ball.png|frame|left]]
[[File:Spiked Ball WL Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork of a spiked ball for ''Wario Land'']]
Spiked balls appear again in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', where they are preponderant in the [[Parsley Woods]]. This game marks the first time spiked balls are seen rolling towards the player. They plummet from the trees' thicket when [[Wario]] approaches before rolling along the ground, though one spiked ball falls straight down and disappears off-screen. When they reach the end of the ground, they fall straight downwards and then continue rolling if they land on more ground. In this game, spiked balls stop immediately when they hit a wall, and fall off the screen. They also sometimes cause the screen to shake when they land, freezing everything on screen in place for a moment.

=====''Wario Land: Shake It!''=====
'''Spiky balls'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. Wario Land: Shake It! PRIMA Official Strategy Guide. Pages 12 and 13.</ref>  in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' only appear in the form of enemy attacks, shot by [[Shortfuse]], [[Crackpot]], and [[Boomdinero]]. Though two of these enemies represent the [[cannon]]s seen in various ''Super Mario'' titles, the spiky balls are used in place of [[cannonball]]s as their spikes are meant to be clear visual indicators that they cannot be touched or jumped on.

====''Wario World''====
Spiked balls also appear as obstacles in ''[[Wario World]]''. They appear in the various obstacle courses found inside wooden and steel [[trapdoor (Wario World)|trapdoor]]s, and are also used as weapons by several enemies and bosses in the game. [[Hawk]]s and [[Hōhō]] drop them, and the [[Sandworm]] also spits spiked balls at [[Wario]] as one of its attacks. In this game, they are colored dark blue and have long spikes of the same color.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
Spiked balls appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', being tossed by [[Spike|Mace Penguin]]s. They only appear in [[BLIZZARD!!!]], as well as [[Endless World of Yoshis]] in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]]. In these games, spiked balls are colored white with yellow spikes.

====''Yoshi's Story''====
Spiked balls appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', being tossed by [[Lakitu]]s, [[Spike|Gabon]]s, and also being used in [[Cloudjin]]'s boss fight. In this game, they are described as either bombs<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19991009112247/http://www.yoshisstory.com/4-1.html ''Yoshi's Story'' official website].

"''Gabon has unlimited rocks to roll, so Yoshi will have to eat or egg him to stop the avalanche''"</ref>

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Spiked Balls are used by [[Big Montgomery]] and [[Miss Cluck the Insincere]].

===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
====''Luigi's Mansion''====
Spiked balls appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]], where they appear in [[King Boo]]'s battle. The [[Bowser]] suit rolls them two of them at a time, and after several seconds, they flash red and then explode. [[Luigi]] must suck one up and hit Bowser with it to expose King Boo.

====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
Red spiked balls and giant spiked balls appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', where they appear in King Boo's battle. They roll around the tilting arena toward Luigi, who must avoid them.

====''Luigi's Mansion 3''====
[[File:LM3 Spike Ball.png|left|thumb|100px|One of King Boo's Spike Balls]]
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', Spike Balls appear in the final boss battle with King Boo. In one of his attacks, King Boo throw Spike Balls into the air that fall back onto the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Rooftop]], breaking and revealing multiple [[bomb]]s that are about to explode. If a Spike Ball hits the player, they lose 20 HP.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 4''====
Spiked balls, referred to as spiky balls, appear in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' in the minigame [[Hop or Pop]].

====''Mario Party 6''====
Spiked balls, referred to as '''spike spheres''', play an important role in the ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' minigame [[Pit Boss]], where large ones must be avoided from within a small area.

====''Mario Party 9''====
Spiked Balls appear in several [[minigame]]s in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. In the minigame [[Bumper Bubbles]], players must try to collect balloons while avoiding Spiked Balls that fall onto the screen from above; hitting a Spiked Ball results in a player's bubble popping, which causes all their balloons to be released and the player to fall offscreen. Spiked Balls also appear in the minigame [[Tumble Temple]], in which the players must avoid the Spiked Balls and [[Giant Spiked Ball|giant spiked ball]]s that roll through several pegs from above; hitting one results in that player being eliminated. Additionally, in [[Chain Event]], players must slide down chains, flipping from one side to the other to avoid Spiked Balls. The player must do the opposite of said objectives when playing Tumble Temple and Chain Event as a [[Reverse Minigame]] from a [[Bowser Space]]. The minigame [[Spike-n-Span]] also involves one player hitting the platform above to roll a Spiked Ball in the direction of the other players. Giant spiked balls are also in [[Spike Strike]], where the player must use a [[hammer]] to send them back at the large Spike.

====''Mario Party 10''====
Spiked Balls appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in the minigame [[Bowser's Painball]].

====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
Spike Balls reappear in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', where they are found in the minigame [[Bumper Bubbles]] reappearing from ''Mario Party 9''.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Spike spheres reappear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', reprising their roles in the ''Mario Party 6'' minigame Pit Boss.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
These balls take two forms in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Spikes and [[Mad Spike]]s use larger versions, referred to as '''iron balls''', which resemble their appearance in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', except the former is blue and the latter is red. Ptooies and [[Glad Ptooie]]s use smaller versions, referred to as simply '''balls''', which resemble their appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. A Glad Ptooie will toss its ball up a few times, and then it will toss it over to another location and run over to it. [[Giant Bowser|Bowser 2]] also drops a green version of an iron ball from the ceiling as an attack.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Elder Shrooboid]], the boss of the [[Star Shrine]], uses a spiked ball in one of its attacks. One of the Bros. has to hit the spiked ball with their hammer, or else it will slam into them and cost lots of HP. However, if one of the Bros. does hit the spiked ball, it will fly off into the sky and the Elder Shrooboid will be vulnerable to jump attacks for a brief period of time. In the second phase, however, when the spiked ball hits the [[Shroob saucer]] with the timer, the timer resets. The [[Shroid]], an enemy from [[Toad Town]], also uses a spiked ball in one of its attacks. It consists of the Shroid calling a Shroob saucer into battle, which then gives the Shroid a spiked ball. This ball will either have "M" or "L" printed in it, which indicates the brother at whom the ball will be thrown. However, if the Shroid is malfunctioning, its attacks are reversed (i.e. an "M"-printed ball will land on Luigi, and vice versa).

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Spiked Balls are once again used by Spikes as projectiles, which can be avoided by jumping over them, while the giant spiked balls must be [[hammer]]ed back at them.

Spiked Balls are also utilized by [[Bowser]] and [[Paper Bowser]] in their boss fight. They will use then as projectiles against the trio.

Flat, disc-like Spiked Balls appear as part of the boss transition animation. In the E3 2015 demo build. These Spiked Balls were not flattened.<ref>GameXplain (Jun 16, 2015). [https://youtu.be/EBMkPZj_suc Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - Petey Piranha Boss Fight w/ Direct Audio (E3 2015)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 16, 2021.</ref>

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Spike Balls appear as a projectile thrown by Spikes, where their spikes are aesthetically brown. They are also dropped by Spikes as a [[sticker]] when defeated. When used in battle, Mario will toss a Spike Ball ahead, dealing moderate damage to all grounded enemies.

The Spike Ball can also be placed into the [[Sticker Museum]] as #89, alongside other enemy-based stickers.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Once more, Spiked Balls return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', where they are thrown by Spikes, but they have a different design from that of ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', since the spikes are now white rather than brown. Ptooies also use Spiked Balls in the game, and they can attack by shooting the Spiked Ball at Mario.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
Normal spiked balls make a minor appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where they are thrown by the temporary Spike partner in [[Autumn Mountain]] during its main attack, Up-Chuck. These spiked balls deal 25 damage to enemies in a straight line provided the attack does not fail. Origami spiked balls also appear more commonly, thrown by origami Spike enemies. The normal spiked ball itself has the paper outline from ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', while the origami spiked balls themselves resemble their ''Sticker Star'' and ''Color Splash'' appearances.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Spiked balls reappear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] once again being tossed by Spikes.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
In ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', Spiked Balls appear as obstacles in boss battles.

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
[[File:MRKB spikedball.jpg|thumb|230px|A Spiked Ball in ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'']]
In [[Spooky Trails]], a level from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', many Spiked Balls lie scattered across the Underwater Village, with one encountered earlier in Spooky Square. Although they are mainly used for decoration, [[Beep-0]] remarks the one in Spooky Square, expressing that he hopes it stays put and does not cause more trouble than he and the other team members already have.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', spiked balls appear when [[Piranha Plant]] uses its neutral special [[Ptooie (move)|Ptooie]], based on the spiked ball-blowing [[Ptooie|enemy of the same name]]. Piranha Plant blows a spiked ball up and down and can launch it to the left or right.

===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
Spike Balls reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' as obstacles produced by Spikes in [[Spiky Palms]] and can hit players during Speed Golf. In Target Golf, one of the possible golf balls that players can obtain is also a Spike Ball, except it is smaller as to be used like a golf ball. It is able to stick in place, as it resists running (bouncing or rolling after the ball lands), thereby making it likely to land on the carried spot (the spot that the ball lands the first time).
