The ability is learned at [[Peach's Castle Garden]] when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] cure Bowser of his back pain by [[Drill Bros.|drilling]] into the center of the [[Lumbar Nook]]. When they finish the process, Bowser's back loosens; he becomes more flexible and can use the Spike Ball ability. This ability allows Bowser to roll up into his shell to become a spiky ball when the player selects the ability using the shoulder buttons. He can use this ability to climb walls of soft dirt, smash through certain objects, get shot through a spring and activate treadmills in the overworld. During the battle with [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury]], [[Super Bowser|Giant Bowser]] uses the Spike Ball to defend against one of its attacks. | ||

He also uses this move during the first battle against him in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. First, he blows fire across the path and then curls up to chase Mario. The player must jump over the smaller fire walls and move around the big ones. Eventually, Bowser will trip and the chase will end. | He also uses this move during the first battle against him in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

*When Bowser learns the Spike Ball, he suggests that he could never roll up into a ball before. However, the [[Shy Guy Squad]] [[Brawl Attack|Special Attack]] has Bowser roll up into a ball so the [[Shy Guy]]s can push him into a rope before he is launched at the selected target. These Shy Guys can be rescued long before Bowser learns the Spike Ball ability. However, Bowser might have been referring to being able to move on his own in Spike Ball form, as in Shy Guy Squad, he requires the Shy Guys to push him rather then moving on his own. | *When Bowser learns the Spike Ball, he suggests that he could never roll up into a ball before.
