Artwork of a Bear on a Beach Ball for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Beach Balls,[1] or simply Balls,[2] appear in gameplay-related capacities in the Super Mario franchise.
History[edit]
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[edit]
In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Bears roll Beach Balls under their feet, moving with them slowly from side to side. The Beach Ball continues to bounce and roll at the same speed even after the Bear on it is defeated, changing orientation when bumping into a wall. The ball can carry Mario like a moving platform. It can be so used in the level Mario the Circus Star! to pass wide spiky surfaces.
Wario Land: Shake It![edit]
Balls in Wario Land: Shake It! can be picked up by Wario, and if he throws one at any wall, ceiling, enemy, or object, it will bounce for a short while. One mission in Its-all Mine prompts Wario to use a ball to defeat three enemies in a single throw.
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Beach balls in Mario Party: Island Tour are controlled and used by player characters in the minigame Pool Buoy. The characters control them from inside to move around on the surface of the water and bump into other players. The balls are translucent to allow players to see their characters. On the system's touchscreen is another beach ball which the player can drag their stylus or finger on, dictating the direction of the character in the minigame.
Mario Kart series[edit]
A Beach Ball[3] appears in the Squeaky Clean Sprint course of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour, floating in the water-filled bathtub along with a Toy Duck and a Hoop. It primarily serves a decorative purpose, though in Mario Kart Tour it also gives bonus points if hit[4] with a Banana, a Giant Banana, or a Bob-omb.
