Water Balls[1] are objects in the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series. They are large masses of water that float (and sometimes move) in the air, and they are shaped as either circles or ellipses (horizontal and vertical) and look similar to bubbles.
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. If the player jumps 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 Bills 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 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 Shells 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 Rocks during the Wonder Effect.
