Spike balls[1] are objects in Super Mario 3D World and its port. They are first encountered in Clear Pipe Cruise. These giant green seeds with yellow spikes are in the interior of Clear Pipes, blocking parts of them. Some Green Stars are among spike balls; if the player hits a spike ball, they not only take damage but are also ejected backwards in the pipe, so its destruction is necessary to pass. They can be destroyed by a fireball from Fire Mario, a baseball, Invincible Mario, or White Tanooki Mario.

Spike balls in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports retain both their design and functionality from Super Mario 3D World. They usually appear in levels with Clear Pipes and block the way of the player, such as Clear Pipe Puzzleplex, though the player can destroyed them using the Super Pickax power-up.
