A Bear on a Beach Ball
Beach Balls,[1] or simply Balls,[2] are objects found in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. In this game, Bears are always found riding atop these balls, rolling them slowly. However, even when Mario stomps on a Bear and defeats it, the ball continues to bounce and roll at the same speed, changing orientation when bumping into a wall. The ball can carry Mario like a moving platform; in the level Mario the Circus Star!, Beach Balls can be used to pass wide spiky surfaces. Ganchans, found in the game's predecessor, Super Mario Land, carry Mario in much the same way Beach Balls do.
