'''''Ball''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] game that was released as a part of the Silver series on April 28, 1980. It was the very first game of the
In ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'', the player starts out with only the Classic version of ''Ball'' (unlike most Game & Watch games in the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]]).

The first mode has the Yoshi juggling [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s. The Mario mode has the player juggling a [[Super Star|Star]], a [[Super Mushroom]], and a [[Heart (item)|heart]], actually just like ''Mario the Juggler'' but with the Super Mushroom added. These items have varying arcs of flight as opposed to the fixed patterns of the eggs. The heart is also
The four variants of the Modern version of ''Ball'' all have [[Bob-omb]]s that sometimes fly down from the sky. If a Bob-omb hits one of the paddles, it will cause a Game Over too. At 100 points for the Yoshi, 200 points for Mario, 300 points for Wario, and 400 points for
