A Magic Ball is a type of object which appears in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

Description[]

A Magic Ball resembles a round-shaped object depicting a question mark. Mario or Luigi are required to touch a Magic Ball in certain levels to complete them.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario Bros. 3[]

SMB3 Udquestionball

The upside down ? Ball in Super Mario Bros. 3.

A Magic Ball appears in fortress levels, where they are dropped by Boom Boom once Mario or Luigi defeat him. Mario must touch the Magic Ball to destroy the fortress and therefore complete the level. If Invincible Mario defeats Boom Boom by touching him, the ? Ball appears upside down, in the center of the arena.

Super Mario World[]

There is only one Magic Ball, and it appears in the Sunken Ghost Ship. Unlike in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Magic Ball is not guarded by any boss, but rather appears out in the open. Touching the Magic Ball opens the path to the Valley of Bowser.
