History[edit ]

Super Mario series[edit ]

Super Mario Land[edit ]

Superball Mario is a form in Super Mario Land . Unlike most forms, there is no visual difference from Super Mario; both the in-game sprite and artwork of the form depict Mario wearing his normal clothes. Superball Mario gains the ability to throw Superballs by pressing B Button. Like the similar Fire Mario form and its fireballs, Superballs damage most enemies, but also have the unique ability to collect coins that they hit. Unlike fireballs, Superballs do not bounce along the ground, but ricochet at right angles on surfaces. Only one Superball can be onscreen at a time, and will disappear approximately four seconds after being shot, unless it touches an enemy or Mario, goes off-screen, or is destroyed. Many enemies require multiple Superballs to defeat, unlike fireballs, which typically defeat any non-boss enemy in one hit. Superballs pass through the enemies and obstacles that are invulnerable to them. Superball Mario can also shoot Superballs while squatting, although there is no functional difference from doing this while standing.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit ]

Superball Mario is a form in Super Mario Maker 2 . It can be obtained with the Superball Flower, though in the Super Mario Bros. game style only. The Superballs thrown can also collect Pink Coins and Keys, activate P Switches and POW Blocks, and ignite Bob-ombs, but they cannot be fired by crouching, unlike Fire Mario's fireballs.

Superball Mario changes the player character's colors to dark tones of green, referencing the Game Boy's screen colors. The form also changes the current theme's music to an NES-style arrangement of "Birabuto Kingdom BGM" from Super Mario Land, and also changes the "level clear" and "lose a life" jingles to their respective Super Mario Land counterparts, "Area Cleared" and "Player Down".

The Superball form can be unlocked in Story Mode by clearing the job Spiny Shell Smashers. Two Superball Mario-themed outfits are unlocked for the player's Maker Mii at the same time: the Superball Mario Hat and Superball Mario Suit. Both are depicted in a voxelated style.

WarioWare Gold[edit ]

Superball Mario is featured in the Super Mario Land microgame of WarioWare Gold , where he has to defeat an enemy in a location from the game Super Mario Land with a Superball.

    When you pick up a Flower, Super Mario will become Superball Mario. He will be able to defeat enemies by throwing Superballs.
    Note: If you pick up a Flower when you are regular Mario, he will become Super Mario instead of Superball Mario. This does not apply to Flowers received in bonus games.^{[page number needed]}
