'''Big Steelies'''<ref>''Mario Mania'', page 52.</ref> (also referred to as "bowling balls" in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide) are large iron balls that appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in the last battle with [[Bowser]]. He drops these from his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. [[Mario]] can jump over them to avoid getting hit. [[Mario]] can also spin jump on them without getting hurt. It can be destroyed if Mario uses his sliding cape attack against it using a [[Cape Feather]] but it will show a glitched sprite.
 
In the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] episode "[[Send in the Clown]]", King Koopa attempts to defeat Mario in one scene by dropping a Big Steely on him, which Mario dodges. King Koopa, with the same method, is shown dropping a Big Steely after [[Yoshi]] hits him with his [[Mechakoopa]]s. Mario, however, uses a golf club and knocks the Big Steely at him.
 
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' they are referred to as '''balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 19</ref>, '''rolling balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 101</ref>, and '''iron balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 107</ref>. They appear in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], and [[Tiny-Huge Island]], as an uphill hazard.
 
Big Steelies are mentioned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' in the Koopa Clown Car trophy, once again labelled as "bowling balls".
 
Graphics for Big Steely-like objects [[List of Super Mario Maker pre-release and unused content|exist unused]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style object graphics in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. The sprite is green instead of dark gray, however.
