'''Superball Mario''' is one of [[Mario]]'s many forms, first appearing in ''Super Mario Land''. Mario becomes Superball Mario by grabbing a [[Superball Flower]]. 


While in artwork Mario’s clothes don’t change, unlike most other powered-up forms, this form was most likely intended as a replacement to [[Fire Mario]], as the Game Boy could not handle the colors of the aforementioned form.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Land''====
Superball Mario is a form 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 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''====
Superball Mario is a form in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. It can be obtained with the [[Superball Flower]], though in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style only. The Superballs thrown can also collect [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coins]] and [[Key]]s, activate [[P Switch]]es and [[POW Block]]s, and ignite [[Bob-omb]]s. It changes the player character's colors to dark tones of green, referencing the [[Game Boy]]'s screen colors. The form also changes the current theme's music to an arrangement of the ''Super Mario Land'' Ground Theme with a soundfont similar to that of the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], and also changes the "level clear" and "lose a life" jingles to their respective ''Super Mario Land'' counterparts. The Superball form can be unlocked in Story Mode by clearing the job [[Spiny Shell Smashers]]. An outfit based on Superball Mario is unlocked alongside the Superball Flower, which has a 3D model of [[Small Mario]] for the head and Mario's overalls, both with the Superball form's colors.

===''WarioWare Gold''===
Superball Mario is featured in the [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario Land]] [[microgame]] of ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', where he has to defeat all of the enemies.
