+==History==
+===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
+Water Balls first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they are found only in [[World 7-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-2]]. If the player [[jump]]s into one, they start behaving as if they were underwater. This allows the player to [[swim]] inside the Water Ball until they exit it, at which point the player falls out. Water Balls are usually used to access high areas or to cross large gaps, but they can also be used to avoid enemies down below, thus providing a safer route for the player to travel through. [[Bullet Bill]]s also travel slower when they go through a Water Ball.
+===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
+Water Balls return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its port]], where they are found only in [[A Quick Dip in the Sky]]. They behave the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. [[Koopa Shell]]s are also shown to travel slower while moving through a Water Ball.
+===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
+Water Balls return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where they are found during [[Wonder Bowser Jr.]]'s boss battle in [[Sunbaked Desert Palace]], and during the [[Wonder Effect]] of [[Hot-Hot Hot!]] Water Balls behave the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In Sunbaked Desert Palace, Water Balls are produced by [[Wonder Bowser Jr.]] after taking damage. In Hot-Hot Hot!, an infinite number of Water Balls floats down and extinguishes [[Hot-Hot Rock]]s during the [[Wonder Effect]].
