The Beastball is a {{iw|wikipedia|baseball|ball}} originating from the real-life sport [[wikipedia:Baseball|of the same name]]. The name is a portmanteau that includes the word "beast", reflecting its behavior of chasing opponents. Its Japanese name | The Beastball is a {{iw|wikipedia|baseball|ball}} originating from the real-life sport [[wikipedia:Baseball|of the same name]]. The name is a portmanteau that includes the word "beast", reflecting its behavior of chasing opponents. Its Japanese name is a reference to the 60's baseball manga ''{{s|wikipedia|Kyojin no Hoshi}}'', where the main character, Hyūma Hoshi, performs a similar pitching technique named {{ja|消える魔球|Kieru Makyu}} (''Disappearing Devil Ball''), wherein the baseball disappears near the strike zone and suddenly reappears at the catcher's mitt. The Beastball also happens to resemble the Ultra Machine Boss Microgame from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!'' (itself based off the real-life Nintendo toy), in which the baseball can disappear and reappear when thrown to be struck by a bat. | ||

The Beastball functions as a throwable [[projectile]] item. After being thrown, the Beastball will initially travel a short distance forward as expected, but will quickly disappear in a flash of blue flame and reappear next to the nearest opponent, targeting them with a flaming tackle. If the initial throw hits an opponent, that foe is guaranteed to be hit by the second tackle. The second tackle has very high accuracy, being capable of hitting opponents even if they're already experiencing high knockback. Dropping the Beastball with a Z-drop seems to not activate it unless it hits an enemy, causing it to target anyone. Additionally, if the ball hits an enemy but touches the ground before it teleports, it won’t activate. | The Beastball functions as a throwable [[projectile]] item.
