| '''Superball Mario''' is a form [[Mario]] takes when he uses a [[Superball Flower]], first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. It allows Mario to shoot Superballs which rebound off surfaces and can defeat enemies. | | '''Superball Mario'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 9.</ref> is one of [[Mario]]'s many forms. This form is only found in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Mario becomes Superball Mario by grabbing a [[Superball Flower]]. There is no visual transformation, and even artwork (as seen to the right) depicts Mario as wearing his normal clothes. Superball Mario gains the ability to throw superballs by pressing {{Button|gb|B}}. Like the similar [[Fire Mario]] form and its [[fireball]]s, the superballs damage enemies, but also have the unique ability to collect [[coin]]s that they hit. Unlike fireballs, superballs do not bounce along the ground, but ricochet at right angles on surfaces. Only one superball can be onscreen at a time, and will disappear after approximately four seconds after being shot, unless it touches an enemy or Mario, goes off-screen, or is destroyed. |

| Superball Mario is a form in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. There is no visual transformation, and even artwork (as seen to the right) depicts Mario as wearing his normal clothes. Superball Mario gains the ability to throw Superballs by pressing {{Button|gb|B}}. Like the similar [[Fire Mario]] form and its [[fireball]]s, the Superballs damage enemies, but also have the unique ability to collect [[coin]]s that they hit. Unlike fireballs, Superballs do not bounce along the ground, but ricochet at right angles on surfaces. Only one Superball can be onscreen at a time, and will disappear approximately four seconds after being shot, unless it touches an enemy or Mario, goes off-screen, or is destroyed. Many enemies require multiple Superballs to defeat, unlike fireballs, which typically defeat any non-boss enemy in one hit. | |

|
| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| | Additionally, Superball Mario reappears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' in the [[Super Mario Land (microgame)|Super Mario Land]] [[microgame]], where it must be used to defeat enemies from the game. |
| Superball Mario is a form in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. It can be obtained with the [[Superball Flower]], though in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style only. The Superballs thrown can also collect [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coins]] and [[Key]]s, activate [[P Switch]]es and [[POW Block]]s, and ignite [[Bob-omb]]s. It changes the player character's colors to dark tones of green, referencing the [[Game Boy]]'s screen colors. The form also changes the current theme's music to an arrangement of the ''Super Mario Land'' Ground Theme with a soundfont similar to that of the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], and also changes the "level clear" and "lose a life" jingles to their respective ''Super Mario Land'' counterparts. The Superball form can be unlocked in Story Mode by clearing the job [[Spiny Shell Smashers]]. An outfit based on Superball Mario is unlocked alongside the Superball Flower, which has a 3D model of [[Small Mario]] for the head and Mario's overalls, both with the Superball form's colors. | |
