Gameballs are capsules that come from the Gameball Machine, an item from Mario Party. The Gameball Machine appears in the Mushroom Shop after 30 minigames have been bought from the Mini-Game House. Players can buy a Gameball from the machine for 300 Coins.
Every Gameball contains a random minigame that has not been seen or purchased yet at the Mini-Game House. This provides an alternate way for players to unlock all minigames; while the price changes at the Mini-Game House, the price for a Gameball stays at a consistent 300 Coins.
