| '''Ball and chains'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #43, page 67. "''Crack the rock below the third ball and chain then drop down the gap to collect two red coins. Continue walking down to the bottom and enter the secret door. Shoot the floating clouds to reveal stairways which take Yoshi to the top of the screen and another two coins below a ball and chain. Now shoot the cloud between the walls to reveal a stairway to the right and collect a flower.''" ('''HOOKBILL THE KOOPA’S CASTLE''')</ref> are [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s on chains that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]) and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They typically appear in [[castle]]s and [[fortress|fort]]s.

| | '''Tekkyū Dosun''' are large, spiky balls on chains that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They typically appear in castles and forts. |

| Each ball and chain is wound up by a [[Boo Guy]] that sits in the wall. Once a ball and chain is wound up as far as it goes, the Boo Guy lets go and the heavy ball drops. If the ball touches a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], [[Baby Mario]] will fall off the Yoshi's back. The Boo Guys take some time to wind up the maces, giving the Yoshi time to safely pass underneath. Ball and chains, as well as the Boo Guys that operate them, are invincible.

| In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', similar objects appear alongside [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]s in [[The Tall Tower]] and [[Magma Castle]]. Unlike in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games, they are not operated by Boo Guys, they are black, and there is a pause before they drop down. They also have the same appearance as the game's Ball 'N' Chains.

| Ball and chains appear as anchors for [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.
