Ball 'n' Chain is a type of spike ball in the Mario series first appearing in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as one of Bowser's traps that he set up in many castles and fortresses. To avoid it, they must stand away from it or stand on the brick in the center and the spike ball part of it won't touch them. Strangely, when Mario or Luigi use their Spin Jump attack, they will bounce off the spiky ball part instead of being attacked. In the New Super Mario Bros. games, they appear in World 7-Castle and Wendy's Castle with the same effect.

- Ball 'n' Chain is a ball that has spikes on it, and rotates in place from a block. It is invincible, but slowly rotates, and is generally easy to bypass. Bowser uses these as dangerous objects and weapons. Although they are used to prevent the player from succeeding, the player can stand on the brick (which is what the ball is chained to) and will keep from being hurt by the ball. These can be found in Bowser's Castles and fortresses throughout the games it has appeared in.

| - Ball 'n' Chain is a ball that has spikes on it, and rotates in place from a block. It is invincible, but slowly rotates, and is generally easy to bypass. Bowser uses these as dangerous objects and weapons. Although they are used to prevent the player from succeeding, the player can stand on the brick (which is what the ball is chained to) and will keep from being hurt by the ball. These can be found in Bowser's Castles and fortresses throughout the games it has appeared in. The object was also found to have a small cameo appearance in the Super Mario World TV series in the episode called "Send in the Clown". While Mario travels through Neon Castle, Mario gets very closed to being hit by a Ball 'n' Chain, which drops from the ceiling, as he tries to get through a lava area. The object also appeared in New Super Mario Bros. in the World 7 Castle. The Ball 'n' Chains rotate around the block quickly in this level. A Star Coin even appears on one of them. The object then reappeared in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii, in a secret level of Wendy's Castle and in Lemmy's Fortress. Unlike other games, this object can be defeated using a Starman. Ball 'n' Chains appeared in Super Mario 3D Land, where the ball was in purple with yellow spikes, and the chain was yellow. In this game, they aren't connected with shackles, unlike Super Mario World, where they are. The object doesn't spin, but instead move back and forth in a pendulum-like way.
