Magic Balls first appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They only appear in [[fortress]]es after the player defeats [[Boom Boom]]. Upon his defeat, Boom Boom will drop a Magic Ball, and Mario must touch it to destroy the fortress and therefore complete the level. If [[Invincible Mario]] defeats Boom Boom by touching him, the Magic Ball will appear upside down, in the center of the arena. They later appeared in the game's remakes, playing the same role.

A Magic Ball reappears in ''Super Mario World'' in the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. Touching it beats the level in a similar fashion of beating a boss, although it is left out in the open instead of being held by a mini-boss. There is also a glitch to receive a Magic Ball and use it in any level to instantly complete it.

Magic Balls also appear in the Modern version of ''[[Parachute (Game & Watch)|Parachute]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. If the player has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 [[point]]s, three Magic Balls will come out of the [[airship|flying ship]]. One of them contains a [[1 UP Heart]] for removing a miss.
