| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World''====
| |
| Big Steelies first appear in the final battle with [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He drops these from his [[Koopa Clown Car]]. [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can jump over them to avoid getting hit. Mario or Luigi can also spin jump on them without getting hurt. It can be destroyed if Mario or Luigi uses his sliding cape attack against it using a [[Cape Feather]], but it will show a glitched sprite.

| | |
| ====''Super Mario 64''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', they are referred to as '''iron balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 106, 107, 109 and 110</ref><ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' internal object name (<tt>IRONBALL</tt>)</ref>, '''rolling balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 101</ref>, or simply '''balls'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 19</ref>.

| | |
| ===''Super Mario World'' television series===
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
| |
| Big Steelies are mentioned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' in the Koopa Clown Car [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], known as "bowling balls".
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Big Steelies, referred to generically as "iron balls," appear in multiple locations. In [[Cavi Cape]], Bowser must punch a falling one in order to knock it into a button. Later, [[Midbus]] crushes Bowser with a massive one, triggering the fight between [[Super Bowser]] and [[Bowser's Castle]]. There is also a [[Hammer]] called the Iron Ball Hammer, which sometimes causes one to fall onto a random enemy after an "Excellent" rating is achieved.
