'''Superball Mario'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 9.</ref> is one of [[Mario]]'s many forms. Mario becomes Superball Mario by grabbing a [[Superball Flower]].

== History ==

=== ''Super Mario'' series ===

==== ''Super Mario Land'' ====

This form is first found in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. There is no visual transformation, and even artwork (as seen to the right) depicts Mario as wearing his normal clothes. Superball Mario gains the ability to throw Superballs by pressing {{Button|gb|B}}. Like the similar [[Fire Mario]] form and its [[fireball]]s, the Superballs damage enemies, but also have the unique ability to collect [[coin]]s 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 after 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.

==== ''Super Mario Maker 2'' ====

The form also changes the current theme's music to an arrangement of the ''Super Mario Land'' Ground Theme with a soundfont that of the [[NES]], and also changes the "level clear" and "lose a life" jingles to their respective ''Super Mario Land'' counterparts. However, if Superball Mario grabs a [[Super Star]], the ''Super Mario Bros.'' invincibility theme is still heard, rather than ''Super Mario Land''{{'}}s.

=== ''WarioWare Gold'' ===

Superball Mario reappears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' in the [[Super Mario Land (microgame)|Super Mario Land]] [[microgame]], where it must be used to defeat enemies from the game.

*'''Virtual Console manual description:''' ''"When you pick up a Flower, Super Mario will become Superball Mario. He will be able to defeat enemies by throwing Superballs.<br>'''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."''
