Crystal Balls are first seen in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its update, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where it gains an animated red line. They are found at the end of most levels. Picking one up will open the [[Mask Gate]] and allow the player to proceed to the next level, while in boss levels, they allow the player to face the world's boss. They are usually guarded by [[Birdo]]. In the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Birdo can be seen holding the Crystal Ball in front of her during battle. In later versions, it seems to come out of her snout upon defeat.

They are seen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the main magic tool for [[Merlon]]'s family. Merlon's crystal ball resembles a [[Star Point]] with eyes and uses it to predict [[Mario]]'s future actions.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]]s are encased in crystal balls after they are produced. In the first six worlds of the game, a Mini-Mario is trapped in a crystal ball at the end of the world's first six levels. The Mini-Mario must be freed by Mario, who picks up the crystal ball and throws it against the [[Fourth wall|game screen]] to shatter it. The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] makes the crystal balls look more capsule-like.
===''Game & Wario''===
In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', three Crystal Balls appear as [[Cluck-A-Pop]] prizes.
