'''Taunt Ball''' is an item found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. It is a yellow ball with a teasing expression drawn on it. It can be used during battle against the enemies that appear in background. A Taunt Ball inflicts 1 damage point and lures one enemy out the background and into the battle, so [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are able to fight it. Some background enemies may not be required to defeat in order to win the battle. Other background enemies may also flee when alone. Background enemies with only 1 HP, such as a [[Nipper Plant]] spawned by a [[Piranha Plant]], are instantly defeated if hit by a Taunt Ball.

[[Bandit]]s holding a [[Golden Egg]] will drop them when struck with a Taunt Ball, and [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s can be stunned with one to stop them from spitting ink.

When fighting [[Dreamy Bowser]], the Taunt Ball can be used against the [[Shy Guy Airtub DX]] when it appears, and Dreamy Bowser himself when he escapes to heal damage. Rather than join the foreground, they will instead perform retaliation attacks. The Shy Guy Airtub DX will chase one of the brothers with [[cannon]] [[cannonball|fire]], while the other brother will knock out the [[Shy Guy]]s piloting it and attack the ship - this is one of its usual attacks it can perform during its own turn, but triggering it in this way allows the player an additional chance to damage and destroy the ship. Against Dreamy Bowser, the Taunt Ball will incur a new attack; Dreamy Bowser will rampage through the battlefield chasing the brothers. The player can steer each of the brothers as they run to direct Dreamy Bowser into the horde of enemies, [[Dreamy Goomba]]s, [[Dreamy Paratroopa]]s, [[Dreamy Shy Guy]]s, and [[Dreamy Bob-omb]]s, and deal damage to each one he steps on. This attack can bring Dreamy Bowser back from the background sooner in order to stop him healing once all Dreamy foes have been defeated.
