Template:Species-infobox A Keronpa Ball is an obstacle found in Super Mario 64 and its portable remake, Super Mario 64 DS. Keronpa Balls are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. In the DS remake, they appear identical to Fire Chomps without the trail of fire behind them. They usually line the edges of pathways. Keronpa Balls are motionless and harmless until the player character passes by, in which case it expands to about twice its size and shoots a tiny fireball that chases them for a short period of time before snuffing out. If hit by the flame, the character will run around uncontrollably while steadily losing three life pieces, although they will still be able to jump. In the DS version, Yoshi is capable of spitting out fire if he ingests Keronpa Ball.
