Spiked balls appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]], where they appear in [[King Boo]]'s battle. The [[Bowser]] suit rolls them two of them at a time, and after several seconds, they flash red and then explode. [[Luigi]] must suck one up and hit Bowser with it to expose King Boo.
In the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], Spike Balls are used in every final boss fight against [[King Boo]]. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]], one of the [[Bowser]] suit's attacks is rolling two spiked balls at once, and before the spiked balls flash red and explode, [[Luigi]] must suck one up and hit the Bowser suit with it to expose King Boo. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', red spiked balls and giant spiked balls appear in King Boo's battle, where they have to be avoided by Luigi as they roll around the tilting arena toward him. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', one of King Boo's attacks is throwing Spike Balls into the air that fall back onto the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Rooftop]], breaking and revealing multiple [[bomb]]s that are about to explode; if a Spike Ball hits the player, they lose 20 HP.

===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
Spike Balls reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' as obstacles produced by Spikes in [[Spiky Palms]] and can hit players during Speed Golf. In Target Golf, one of the possible golf balls that players can obtain is also a Spike Ball, except it is smaller as to be used like a golf ball. It is able to stick in place, as it resists running (bouncing or rolling after the ball lands), thereby making it likely to land on the carried spot (the spot that the ball lands the first time).
