A character gets squished into — or otherwise turns into — the shape of a ball, and then gets used as such. There are two basic approaches to this form of funny injury gags: one is a faster "disposal" gag which involves the balled-up character being kicked or thrown out, after which the character returns to normal; the second one is the "sports match" gag, which has the new "ball" be used in an actual sport (frequent choices tend to be basketball, volleyball and soccer, but just about any sport that uses a ball is fair game) — this variation requires some sort of setup, usually through the character getting scrunched up or inflated into a ball, and the gag after tends to be on the longer side in terms of runtime. Sometimes, the person may proceed to get tossed around by a seal, in a play on the stereotype of seals balancing balls on their head or nose. May be a Bouncing Battler if a character uses this as his primary fighting method. If rolling around as a ball is a routine mode of travel for them, see Bizarre Alien Locomotion. For cases where only the character's head is used as a sports ball rather than the entire body, see Severed Head Sports. Not to be confused with Rounded Character. See also Accordion Man, Squashed Flat, Rolling Attack, Waddling Head, Goomba Stomp, Sphere Factor, Pinball Gag and Inflating Body Gag. |

Mega Man (Classic): From Mega Man 6, one of Blizzard Man's attacks is where to roll his body into a snowball, turning himself invincible in the duration of this attack. Clown Man from Mega Man 8 can roll his body into an electrical ball for his Thunder Carnival attack. Pirate Man from Mega Man & Bass can roll his body into a ball and charge around the arena in a bubble shield. Strike Man from Mega Man 10 turns himself into a ball as one of his attacks. He cannot be harmed when he's in this phase. Bounce Man from Mega Man 11 mostly attacks by rebounding off the walls to hit Mega Man. Given that he takes his design from a ball, this is possibly a given... |

Kirby: One of Kirby's first Copy Abilities in Kirby's Adventure was the Ball ability, which turned him into a spherical, pink Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball. Kirby: Canvas Curse has this as the entire gimmick — Kirby's been reduced to a sphere, and it's up to the player to guide him through the stage via magic ink. Kirby's Pinball Land, the third game in the series, already had him in a nigh-permanent ball shape; Kirby's Dream Course and Kirby's Block Ball did this as well. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse has it happening once again in a way similar to Canvas Curse. Even the bosses get in on this. Kirby's Return to Dream Land has Fatty Puffer, who inflates his body into a huge ball and rolls all over the place. And the Final Boss of Kirby Star Allies, Void Termina, has a core Made of Evil that bounces around the dark god's insides. Given Void's suspicious resemblance to Kirby himself, this is not a coincidence. |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: In the Pilot Movie, while a little girl was trying to adopt Bloo before Mac could make it to the house to see him, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco tried to keep Bloo away from the girl to keep her from adopting him. During the following chase scene, Wilt turns Bloo into a ball and handles him like a basketball. Ironically, earlier on in the movie, when Mac and Bloo first visit the foster home and see Wilt for the first time and are amazed at how tall he is, Bloo makes a comment that he should play basketball. So they allow him to play by making him the ball. | |

Played with by Harry Dresden in White Knight. He needs to protect himself, and another person, from an explosion in a cave. While he doesn't turn himself into a ball, he creates a spherical magic shield that protects both of them. It also has the added effect of using the force of the expanding fireball to propel both of them out of the way through one of the connecting tunnels... which makes him a pinball wizard. | |

Mario & Luigi series: In Superstar Saga, the Bros. move Knockback Bros involves Luigi hammering Mario into a ball, which is then hammered towards the enemy golf-style. Also, unlocking the Advanced version of Knockback Bros. turns the golf game into a racquetball game, allowing Luigi to repeatedly hammer Mario into the enemy for ridiculous amounts of damage! In Partners in Time, one move allows Mario and Luigi to form a ball shape together which allows them to get to places they couldn't get before. One of Bowser's special moves in Bowser's Inside Story involves Bowser getting rolled up into a ball and being pulled back like a slingshot pellet by Shy Guys. Also happens during a Yoo Who Cannon Bros. Attack. Ball Bounce in Dream Team, which is like the Partners in Time move, but it bounces. |

FlingSmash combines this with Bouncing Battler — the hero, Zip, is a small ball-shaped critter who saves the day by bouncing off obstacles, treasures, and bad guys. Some enemies are only vulnerable from certain angles, so strategic bouncing is required. | |

The 1943 Pluto cartoon Pluto and the Armadillo revolves around Mickey and Pluto visiting Brazil, where Mickey and Pluto play a game of fetch. Pluto chases the ball into the forest, where he finds a female armadillo who has rolled up into a ball, and just so happens to look exactly like the ball while in ball form. When Pluto finds the actual ball, he's more confused than ever, and finally, the armadillo unfurls and the two start goofing around with each other. Eventually, the armadillo, while being pursued by an enraged Pluto, turns into a ball and rolls into a small cave. Pluto then spots his actual ball and attacks it, only to end up popping it. He then becomes convinced that he destroyed the armadillo, but then the armadillo shows up again, and Pluto gives her a lick across the face. The armadillo then proceeds to turn into a ball and bounce around Pluto, and Pluto then turns into a ball himself. We get a few seconds of the two balls bouncing around and bumping into each other, and then they unfurl and continue to dance. Then Mickey rushes into the jungle, spots Pluto with what he thinks is the ball, and drags them back onto the plane... and then discovers that the ball is in fact an armadillo after the plane takes off. | |

In Chapter 3 of Knytt Underground, the protagonist of Chapter 1, Mi (a human-shaped sprite), and the protagonist of Chapter 2, Bob (a sentient bouncing ball) enter a Merging Machine and come out the other end with the ability to switch between the two as needed. Most of the NPC's still treat them as Mi, however, and Bob's separate personality (such as it is) is never really addressed again. | |

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: In "Where Have All the Monsters Gone?", the monsters begin to disappear as a result of not scaring humans. They try to scare humans anyway before they disappear completely, but disappearing compromises their plans. One such monster, Grelch, tries to scare humans at the bowling alley, but when she loses her legs, she gets mistaken for a bowling ball by a human who uses her to bowl. She complains about her failure when she returns to the Monster Academy. | |

Overwatch has Hammond, a hamster mech pilot (yes, really), whose Mini-Mecha, Wrecking Ball, is able to curl up into a ball to slam into enemies. It fulfills its namesake by being able to shoot out a grappling hook while rolling, allowing it to swing around any part of the map it can grab onto and deal serious damage to any poor sap in the way. The Summer Games 2018 event added "Be the ball" as one of his voice lines. | |

Cool World: Holli Would takes Jack Deebs to her favorite nightclub, which has a Bouncer at the door. A literal bouncer, as instead of legs, the man has a rubber ball below the waist, upon which he bounces in place. Jack thinks he recognizes this bouncer as Chico, but the reply is "I ain't no Chico." Holli can pass on sight, but the human Jack Deebs gets nixed, despite Holli vouching for him. "Sorry, doll, no noids." Mildly miffed, Holli points to Bash of the Quirky Miniboss Squad, and states, "See him? He's with me, too." Bash seizes the bouncer, and throws him against the wall so hard that he spends the next hour bouncing off the various surfaces near the entrance. | |

In Pizza Tower, certain enemies, such as the Pepperoni Goblin (and its Goblinbot counterpart) and the Big Cheese, can turn Peppino into a ballnote the former by kicking him away, and the latter by grabbing and pitching him like a baseball. Being in this state will cause Peppino to continuously roll until he hits a wall, returning him to normal. Said form is often necessary to clear the way of obstacles, such as Stupid Rats. | |

From the Popeye 1960s cartoon, in the episode "The Rain Breaker", Popeye and Olive Oyl are having a picnic in which Popeye falls asleep and he's in a battle with Thor/Brutus where he is easily outmatched and Thor uses his thunderbolt to transform Popeye into a ball and then bowls him into a set of fiery bowling pins and then Thor flattens him like a pancake, throws him against the wall and starts throwing more thunderbolts at Popeye until Popeye eats his spinach, beats Thor and then wakes up. Interestingly Popeye is more than capable of cartoony effects but this went the more realistic way of being just a dream. | |

Metal Warriors: There's a rare variant of a Mini-Mecha that is, by default, a Spider Tank. However, it moves around by retracting all its limbs to roll in sphere form. | |

In the Cow and Chicken episode "Can Cow Come Out and Play?", when Cow finds out that the Red Guy put the whole town into a trailer just to get some alone time with her to get her toys, she uses her cape to turn into Supercow and first uses the Red Guy to play jump rope and then turns him into a ball, dribbling him and then shooting him into a hoop. | |

In the Odd Squad episode "Captain Fun", Otto activates the water travel mode on his suit, tucks his arms and legs in, and rolls like a ball across the bullpen floor to knock down bowling pins. He manages to get a strike and the support of a couple other agents for being voted the eponymous title. | |

One Piece: Berry Good, a Marine captain, combines this with Detachment Combat. He can transform into several small floating balls that he controls at will. Chopper's Guard Point can absorb and ricochet projectiles, but his round form is used as a ball by kids in the Punk Hazard arc. |

Pokémon: Sandshrew, Sandslash, Donphan, Miltank, and at least a dozen more can do this willingly through the moves like Defence Curl (to raise their Defences), Rollout, Ice Ball, and Steamroller (the latter three are attacks). A commercial for Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire actually showed Treecko being launched into a pinball machine. In-game, it's possible to do this in the Sealeo bonus stage if you hit a Spheal while it's wadding up a slide; it will get bounced by Sealeos through a basketball hoop. |

Final Fantasy: The enemy Wendigo in Final Fantasy VIII does this to a random party member as an attack called Dribble and another attack called Shoot. Final Fantasy IX: The Mimic enemy does this in its "Eat" attack, but instead of playing around after squishing them to a ball, it chomps down its victim into its big gaping treasure chest mouth, crunches a few times and then belches them out whole with some random gold coins. |

The Fairly OddParents! plays with this. One episode has Timmy play football in gym class with a bunch of older-looking kids, and when the coach assigns their positions, he literally gives Timmy the position of "ball." Timmy is then slammed into the ground and gets a big block of earth stuck to him for apparently the rest of the day. In other episodes, Timmy is actually turned into a ball, once by Trixie's bodyguard and then shot into a hoop and once or twice by Francis. | |

Turning into a ball is a Sonic the Hedgehog staple. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, practically all playable characters can charge up on the spot as a ball for speed, known in the series as the Spin Dash. Sonic Spinball is a full game based around him acting as a pinball, and other games have pinball-themed zones. |

Tiny Toon Adventures: In the episode, "Journey to the Center of Acme Acres", The big bad quake comes towards Plucky and Hamton's area in which the two try to escape it in which the two later get caught in the quake, the quake then turns into a hand and shapes both Plucky and Hamton into one ball scrunched together, bounces them a few times and then shoots them into a hoop. When underground, Buster, Babs, Hamton, and Plucky all get turned briefly into bowling pins when a gremlin bowls a big ball of gold at them. In the episode, "Hero Hamton", when Hamton is too scared to go into the boxing ring against Montana Max, Dizzy Devil, and Calamity Coyote, Buster and Babs take his place. Once the bell is rung, Monty tells Dizzy to take care of them. Dizzy starts to spin around and grabs Buster and Babs while he is spinning. When he's done, Dizzy throws them towards the mat and shapes them into basketballs. He, Monty, and Calamity then take turns bouncing Buster and Babs around the ring until Hamton steps in and scares the three bullies away. In the "A Cat's Eye View" episode segment, "Party Crasher Plucky", when trying to get into a party with Shirley The Loon, Plucky is not on the list. The person who held the list, called the "bouncer" is dressed as a basketball player. He squishes Plucky into a ball and dribbles him down the walkway and then tosses him into a hoop. After being shot in the hoop, Plucky says, "So that's why they call them bouncers." |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy gets rolled into a ball by SpongeBob in the first part of "Karate Choppers" and bowled through his front door. SpongeBob becomes a basketball that Pearl dribbles and shoots into a gym hoop in "The Chaperone", as a part of the choreography for "the Sponge" dance. In "Walking Small", SpongeBob becomes a volleyball he popped during an "assertive" stint with Plankton. Surprisingly enough SpongeBob enjoys being smacked over the net. In "Suction Cup Symphony", Squidward does this to both SpongeBob and Patrick before kicking them out his window. They then come back in the same ball. In "Krusty Krushers", SpongeBob and Patrick end up being turned into a paddleball set by their wrestler opponents — with Patrick as the ball and SpongeBob as the paddle. In "Surf N Turf", Sandy flies out of her submarine and is compressed into a ball inside her helmet and bounces around a ship in a bottle competition like a pinball. When she stops comes to a halt, the judge of the competition picks her up and gives sandy first place for being the first "squirrel in a bottle" he had ever seen. |

In Antz (which is also the Trope Namer), large numbers of ants join together into a massive wrecking ball. If you're lucky, you're somewhere in the middle of the ball; if you're Z, you're one of the ten or so forming the chain at the top who have to support the weight of the rest of the ants. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Frieza does this to Goku by trapping him in a sphere of energy and then batting him around for a while. Much later, there's an instance where this is used willingly and unwillingly in quick succession. Super Buu curls himself up into a ball to attack Gotenks, but Gotenks turns it around by using his Galactica Donuts attack to trap Buu in a highly volatile energy sphere... that he and Piccolo then use as a volleyball. | |

Fantastic Four: Reed sometimes uses his Rubber Man powers to do this, usually so Ben can throw him at something. | |

Team Umizoomi: One of Bot's abilities is to turn into a ball at will when a situation calls for it. He doesn't seem to mind, but when this ability will be used against him, one may never know. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: In one episode, Dexter, with his robot suit, finally gets even with the bullies who have been pounding him in dodgeball all the previous week. One of them is squeezed into a basketball and slam dunked. In "Now That's a Stretch!", Dexter merges himself with Dee-Dee's bubblegum, which he took from her rather suddenly. About as soon as Dee-Dee (who starts to feel a bubblegum craving) figures out that Dexter became more bubblegum, she starts playing with him, and one of the first things she does is to crush Dexter into a bubblegum basketball, dribble him and dunk him into a hoop. |

In Superstar Saga, the Bros. move Knockback Bros involves Luigi hammering Mario into a ball, which is then hammered towards the enemy golf-style. Also, unlocking the Advanced version of Knockback Bros. turns the golf game into a racquetball game, allowing Luigi to repeatedly hammer Mario into the enemy for ridiculous amounts of damage! | |
