Wrecking Ball

The Wrecking Ball is a steel ball with devastating destructive power.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin===
The Wrecking Ball is one of Jonathan Morris's sub-weapon skills in Portrait of Ruin. Once cast, Jonathan will yell "Showtime!" and stand in one spot spinning a giant steel ball for as long as the Up and Y buttons are held, unless he's hit in the meantime. After the sub-weapon has been mastered, its appearance changes; the steel ball is now spiked and the length of the chain increases, giving the Wrecking Ball an increase in attack range. Consumes 25 MP per cast.
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
This sub-weapon returns in Harmony of Despair, mostly remaining the same as in Portrait of Ruin. A notable change, however, is its MP consumption; it only costs 15 MP now, perhaps to compensate for the lower average MP given to the characters, compared to Portrait of Ruin. It is obtained via random chests in The End of Chaos (Chapter 3).

==Trivia==
*As is expected of such a heavy weapon, Jonathan Morris swings the Wrecking Ball with great physical force. If he deflects an axe thrown from an Axe Armor enemy by using this sub-weapon, the axe is violently hurled aside, although not enough to actually damage an enemy.
*Jonathan's quote "Showtime!" when he activates this skill (both in the English and Japanese dubs) is probably a reference to the American animated sitcom, The Simpsons. In the episode "Mountain of Madness", an hallucinated apparition of Abraham Lincoln starts swirling a chain while he says "It's showtime!". However, this possible reference is unconfirmed.
