A Spinner,[1][2] originally known as a Ball 'N' Chain[3][4] (also spelled Ball 'N Chain,[5] Ball 'n' Chain,[6] or Ball and Chain[7]), is a spiked ball on a chain first appearing in Super Mario World. Spinners are usually found in castles and similar environments and are often indestructible. Their behavior varies depending on the game, switching between spinning around in a circular motion and swinging repetitively in a pendulum motion. The chain also changes, with most games allowing Mario to safely pass through it unharmed.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

A Ball 'N' Chain from Super Mario World
Defeated Ball 'N' Chain

Ball 'N' Chains first appear in Super Mario World, in castles and fortresses. They continuously rotate from a Gray Block. Using a Spin Jump will allow Mario/Luigi to harmlessly bounce off the spiked ball. The only way this obstacle can be defeated is by using a Super Star, but its sprite will change into a defeated Bony Beetle, as it was never intended to be destroyed.

New Super Mario Bros.

Rotation-style Ball 'N' Chains reappear in New Super Mario Bros. They only appear in World 7-Castle. The blocks are still there, and one even has a Star Coin. Aesthetically, they spin wildly on the end of the chain as well as rotating on the block; however, this does not affect their attack.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Rotation-style Ball 'N' Chains reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii once, in World 3-Tower and in a secret area of World 4-Castle.

Super Mario 3D Land

Ball 'N' Chain
A Ball 'N' Chain in Super Mario 3D Land

In Super Mario 3D Land, Ball 'N' Chains appear in purple with yellow spikes and chain. Like some earlier appearances, they are not linked to shackles. Instead of performing complete rotations, they only make pendulum movements. They can be destroyed by making contact with them as Invincible Mario, White Tanooki Mario, or Statue Mario. The first level they appear in is World 1-2.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Screenshot of Impossible Pendulums in New Super Luigi U.
A Spinner in New Super Luigi U

In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, they appear under the current name Spinner, which is a retranslation of the original Japanese name. Regular and giant versions appear, once again swinging in a pendulum-like manner. These Spinners cannot be avoided by passing through the chains, as they have been spiked like the iteration from the Yoshi's Island series. Mario can pass through Spinners while under the effects of a Super Star, though he cannot destroy them.

Super Mario World television series

Ball 'n' Chain
A Ball 'N' Chain in the Super Mario World television series episode "Send in the Clown".

A Ball 'N' Chain makes a brief appearance in the Super Mario World animated series episode "Send in the Clown". Mario, while traveling through Neon Castle, narrowly avoids being hit by a Ball 'N' Chain that drops from the ceiling as he traverses over some lava.

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Rotation-style Ball 'N' Chains appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They are colored orange instead of black, and usually found in forts. Their chains are replaced by spiked bars, some of which are double-sided. They, along with similar objects such as windup ball and chains, are operated by certain Boo Guys. Though it is never seen, Ball 'N' Chains are able to be destroyed by Superstar Mario.

Yoshi's Island DS

Ball 'N' Chains, known as Spinning Spikes,[8] reappear in Yoshi's Island DS. They act they do in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, except they are operated by background Shy Guys.

Yoshi's New Island

Spinners reappear in Yoshi's New Island. Their behavior remains unchanged, except they operate automatically instead of manually.

Yoshi's Story

Ball 'N' Chains appear in Yoshi's Story, where they swing in a manner similar to pendulums for the first time. Unlike Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, their chains are harmless. They are found alongside windup iron balls, which share the same graphics. Both appear in the stages The Tall Tower and Magma Castle.

Super Princess Peach

Ball 'N' Chains in Super Princess Peach

In Super Princess Peach, pendulum-style Ball 'N' Chains appear in Bowser's Villa, where they swing back and forth between the background and foreground. The chains resemble their appearance in Super Mario World, but the spiked balls are green, having a resemblance to Bowser's Shell.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Motionless Ball 'N' Chains make a minor reappearance in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where they are seen hanging from the ceiling as decorations in Bowser's Castle.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Spinner from Mario Kart 8
A Spinner in Mario Kart 8's Bowser's Castle

In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a single Spinner appears as an obstacle in Bowser's Castle. The obstacle acts virtually the same as the pendulums in Tick-Tock Clock, except that the player will spin out upon hitting it. The Spinner will move faster during the final lap of the race. Unlike in previous games, the spikes on the ball appear to be blunt, similarly to Thwomps.

Mario Party 10

Pendulum-style Spinners appear in Mario Party 10 in the minigame Spiked Ball Scramble, where they hang from the ceiling and swing across the path. They can be encountered in a standard and a larger size, and take out players in one hit.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

Spinners also appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. This time, they look closer to their New Super Mario Bros. U redesign, but retain their fully-rotating behavior from the Yoshi's Island series.
