Spiked balls[1][2] are enemies that appear in the Pumpkin Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Each of these flashing spiked balls is attached to a chain and moves up and down every couple of seconds, usually in corridors that must be traversed to complete the level. A spiked ball hurts the player if they touch it. Spiked balls can be defeated by running into them while invincible.

Names in other languages[edit]
Unlike most mainline Super Mario titles, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins did not receive officially localized enemy indexes at the time of its release on the Game Boy and not all enemies are listed in its instruction booklets. Consequentially, most available non-Japanese names come from localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia.
