A Bear on a Beach Ball

Beach Balls,[1] or simply Balls,[2] appear in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as objects that Bears roll on top of and move around on slowly. 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, and are used in the level Mario the Circus Star! to pass wide spiky surfaces.
