Ball 'n' Chain

A Ball 'n' Chain (also spelt as Ball and Chain) is a hazard appearing throughout theMario franchise since Super Mario World. It is a Spiked Ball attached to a chain that spins around a block or wall it's attached to, in some cases, Ball 'n' Chains can swing like pendulums as well. Ball 'n' Chains can cause damage to Mario/Luigi upon contact but the chain however is usually safe to touch (however in some games, the chain is spiked as well making it hazardous to touch as well). For the most part, a Ball 'n' Chain is invincible and can only be destroyed with invincibility-granting power-ups such as the Starman and the Mega Mushroom. Ball 'n' Chains are typically found in Castles.
