Big Steely

Big Steelies are a recurring obstacle in the . They first appear in Super Mario World.
==Description==
Big Steelies are large iron balls, usually black or gray in color. In most appearances, Big Steelies are indestructible, making them obstacles that have to be avoided.
==In ==
===Super Mario World===
Big Steelies only appear in the boss fight against Bowser. Here, after Bowser is hit twice, he begins to drop Big Steelies from his Koopa Clown Car which roll around the arena as an additional obstacle for Mario or Luigi to avoid. Big Steelies are indestructible and cannot be destroyed, so Mario or Luigi has to avoid each Big Steely and and wait for it to roll offscreen.
===Super Mario 64===
Big Steelies appear in Bob-omb Battlefield, Tall, Tall Mountain, and Tiny-Huge Island. Just like in Super Mario World, Big Steelies are indestructible. They roll down the hills from niches or from the sky before hitting a wall and shattering. Mario has to dodge any Big Steely that he encounters. The tiny variation of Tiny-Huge Island has smaller Big Steelies.
===Super Mario 64 DS===
Aside from retaining their role from the original Super Mario 64, Big Steelies also had their role slightly expanded upon, due to the remake adding features not present in the original game. Big Steelies are also encountered in the Battle Fort, where they roll around the floor. It is now possible to destroy a Big Steely while under the effects of a Super Mushroom.

===Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga===
A Big Steely, generically referred to as a "rock," appears in the Jellyfish Sisters' tutorial on Dashing, in which Mario and Luigi have to push a rock. Some time later, Big Steelies pop up around Gwarhar Lagoon in timed courses involving the Dash.
===Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story===
Big Steelies, generically named "iron balls," appear in several locations. In Cavi Cape, Bowser must punch a falling Big Steely to knock it into a button. Sometime later, Midbus crushes Bowser with a massive Big Steely, prompting Mario and Luigi to stop by the Arm Center the last time.
===Mario & Luigi: Dream Team / Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam===
Both games feature two Hammers called the Iron Ball Hammer and the Iron Ball Hammer DX, which sometimes causes an iron ball (as they are generically named in both games) to fall on a rival after performing a rating. In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Big Steelies have a studded appearance, but in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, they were given a smoother appearance.
==Crossover appearances==
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Big Steelies are mentioned in the Koopa Clown Car trophy, although they are generically referred to as "bowling balls."
==In other media==
A single Big Steely is seen in the Super Mario World television series episode "Send in the Clown." Here, King Koopa tries to drop a Big Steely on Mario, who manages to easily dodge it.
