Sling Pods are sticky rubbery white wobbly balls of web that Mario and [[Toad]]s can easily get stuck in. When there are no [[Launch Star]]s or [[Pull Star]]s, there will probably be Sling Pods.

To use a Sling Pod, Mario must jump into the sticky orb on the top and get stuck in it. Then with the Star Cursor, the player must grab onto the top part and hold the button down, dragging it far to the side of the area. After letting it go, the Sling Pod will send Mario flying out of it in the direction it was aimed.
