*Once airborne, the Party Ball can be struck but will only cause hitlag and not affect the ball. However, certain attacks can push or pull it. Using Spitball Sparky ([[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s up aerial) from a slight distance will blow it up and off the top of the screen, for example.

Note that an item will only appear in a Party Ball if that item can be used. Otherwise, for example, if only bombs are on, it will always have a bomb party. Likewise, if the Party Ball is the only item enabled, all they will do is explode.

==Origin==
==Origin==
While the Party Ball is original to the ''Smash'' series, it functions similarly to the {{iw|wikipedia|Piñata}}. Like the Party Ball, the Piñata is an object that is meant to be attacked until it breaks and the items contained inside fall to the floor for party members to take.
While the Party Ball is original to the ''Smash'' series, it resembles a waritama (or confetti ball), a Japanese spherical decoration which, when triggered by a pull string (which is also present in the Party Ball and, despite its ''Brawl'' trophy hinting at it, cannot be interacted with in any way), can split in half and release confetti or balloons and is typically associated with ceremonies such as graduations. Functionally, the Party Ball also resembles a {{iw|wikipedia|Piñata}}, which is typical of Latin America. Like the Party Ball, the Piñata is a paper object that is meant to be attacked until it breaks and the items contained inside (usually candy or toys) fall to the floor for party members to take.
