'''Soccer Balls''', also called '''Footballs''', appear in several ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related games as interactive objects. They are used across the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series in much the same way as in the real life sport of {{wp|association football}} (itself also known as soccer), as players are tasked with dribbling a ball across a playing field and bringing it into the opposing team's goal. In other games, Soccer Balls appear as items or even obstacles.

===''Mario is Missing!''===
[[File:Soccer Ball MIMDOS.png|frame]]
A Soccer Ball appears in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']] It was stolen from the [[Maracanã|Maracana Stadium]] in [[Rio de Janeiro]] by [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s, forcing the stadium to close. [[Luigi]] can recover the Soccer Ball by defeating a Koopa found in the city. Afterwards, Luigi can ask passersby for information about the Soccer Ball. Luigi is awarded $1200 for returning the Soccer Ball to the Maracana Stadium.

The Soccer Ball is an object in the games ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', and ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]''. In these games, players have to gain control of the Soccer Ball and kick it into the goal, something done with either normal kicks, charge shots, [[Super Strike]]s (''Super Mario Strikers''), [[Mega Strike]]s and [[Skillshot]]s (''Mario Strikers Charged''), or [[Hyper Strike]]s (''Mario Strikers: Battle League''). A normal kick, a charged shot, and a Skillshot result in one point; a Super Strike and a Hyper Strike will score a player two, while a Mega Strike can offer up to six for a team.

In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', the Soccer Ball is made out of metal, which emits a light that indicates the power of the ball. The ball tends to emit a purple light when unused. In this case, shooting the ball is often blocked by the goalie. However, charging the ball by passing or charging the shot, players can turn the light into red, yellow and white, the last indicating the ball is charged enough to make an accurate goal. Apparently, if pressed hard enough, the ball may explode, as seen in one of [[Wario]]'s losing cutscenes.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:SoccerBallUltimate.png|thumb|Soccer Ball artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
[[File:Soccer Ball Brawl artwork.png|thumb|Artwork of the Soccer Ball from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Soccer Ball has been a recurring item in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], also returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Though it appears as a regular soccer ball, its association to the ''Super Mario'' franchise is corroborated by the fact that both ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''{{'}}s and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''{{'}}s [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] lists ''Super Mario Strikers'' and ''Mario Strikers Charged'' as one of the games alongside the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game ''{{wp|Soccer (1985 video game)|Soccer}}'', respectively.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Soccer Ball appears as an item, appearing with its design from ''Super Mario Strikers''. This item cannot be grabbed, however. To use it, it must be attacked, which sends it flying across the stage, catching on fire. The Soccer Ball does not follow an arc when it is attacked. Rather, it shoots in a straight line before suddenly losing all momentum and dropping to the ground, or off the stage. If it hits opponents mid-air, they are flung away. It is also a trophy that can be randomly unlocked.

Rather, it shoots in a straight line before suddenly losing all momentum and dropping to the ground, or off the stage. If it hits opponents mid-air, they are flung away. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', a Soccer Ball always returns to the stage after being knocked off of it until finally disappearing.

[[File:Soccer Ball Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|A Soccer Ball in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the Soccer Ball returns as an item, functioning the same as in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', except it always returns to the stage after being knocked off of it until it finally disappears. [[Wii Fit Trainer]] also uses the Soccer Ball from ''{{wp|Wii Fit}}'' in their [[Header]] attack and its variations.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', [[Popple]] uses soccer balls in one of his attacks. He sets out four objects in front of him and kicks them one after the other at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Soccer balls are a possibility, and can be knocked back into Popple with a [[hammer]] swing. [[Brick Block]]s also appear. When Popple kicks one, it breaks to reveal another object he staggers back in pain. He will then kick that object, mixing up the timing. It is possible for that object to be a soccer ball.
Soccer Balls return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', behaving exactly the same as they do in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Soccer Balls appear inside the {{wp|Santiago Bernabéu Stadium}} on the [[Madrid Drive]] course and its variants, where they are passed around by [[Goomba]]s in [[Goomba's Shoe|shoes]]. The Goombas always kick Soccer Balls straight ahead of them. After a kick, a Soccer Ball bounces several times, then rolls on the ground slowly; if the ball does not encounter another shoe Goomba a while afterwards, it shrinks down and disappears, respawning in front of the Goomba that originally kicked it into motion. Drivers can take out Soccer Balls by running into them or hitting them with an item, getting bonus points in the process.

Soccer Balls return in {{classic|Tour|Madrid Drive}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] – [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC, once again being passed between [[shoe Goomba]]s. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Tour'', they now cause drivers to crash on contact, unless said drivers are under the effects of an object that grants them invincibility or a large speed boost, such as a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Bullet Bill]], or [[Dash Panel]]. Soccer Balls can be taken out by driving into them or by hitting them with almost any offensive item (except for a [[Banana]] and [[Potted Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant]]).
