Magic Balls first appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They appear only in [[fortress]]es after the player defeats [[Boom Boom]]. Upon his defeat, Boom Boom drops a Magic Ball, and Mario must touch it to destroy the fortress and therefore complete the level. If [[Invincible Mario]] defeats Boom Boom by touching him, the Magic Ball will appear upside down, in the center of the arena. Magic Balls later appeared in the game's [[reissue]]s, playing the same role.

A Magic Ball reappears in ''Super Mario World'' in the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. Touching it beats the level in a similar fashion to beating a boss, although it is left out in the open instead of being held by a mini-boss.

There is also a [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Item Stock glitch|glitch]] to receive a Magic Ball and use it in any level to instantly complete it. Using the ball in any horizontal level reveals that when Mario collects it, he goes through the same end-of-level motions that he would if he had used the [[Giant Gate]], albeit with the "boss defeated" fanfare and no chance of [[Goal Star|Bonus Stars]]. By contrast, getting the ball in a vertical level causes the screen to freeze.

Magic Balls also appear in the Modern version of ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. If the player has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 [[point]]s, three Magic Balls will come out of the [[airship|flying ship]]. They all disappear to reveal a [[1 UP Heart]] for removing a miss in one of them.
