The Party Ball's first appearance in the Super Mario franchise is in Super Princess Peach as a semi-common object. It is depicted as a floating, yellow-spotted blue party ball with a ribbon and wings. When Peach finds one of these objects, she can open the Party Ball by using Perry, or by throwing an object or enemy at it. Once opened, they release coins (and occasionally, hearts and crystals) to collect.

In an early version of Super Princess Peach, Party Balls had a slightly different design: they were originally less rounded at the bottom, and lacked wings.

Yoshi's Crafted World

Party Balls return in Yoshi's Crafted World. Their design is based on a Piranha Plant. They appear in the level Jumping to Victory. Party Balls hang from the top of the screen, and can be used as platforms by Yoshi. They come in two colors: red and blue. Red Party Balls contain objects such as eggs or coins. Blue ones do not contain anything and are mainly used as platforms. Party Balls sometimes move up and down. Spike the Piranha starts out as a red Party Ball.

A rare blue Party Ball costume can be randomly obtained at Acorn Forest for 200 Coins. No costume exists for a red one.
