'''Iron balls''' are objects found throughout {{p3}} that serve as an interactable [[tool]], much like the [[cardboard box]]es. They are very plain metallic-gray orbs with "20 weight" inscribed on them. As the number would imply, 20 Pikmin are needed to push them. Because there is not enough surface area on the object for 20 Pikmin to push it, some Pikmin will go behind other ones and push them instead. | '''Iron balls''' are objects found throughout {{p3}} that serve as an interactable [[tool]], much like the [[cardboard box]]es.

With its momentum and weight, it will break open [[gate|wall]]s, most notably [[brick wall]]s which can only be destroyed in this way. This opens entrances and exits to other parts of an [[area]]. Creatures in the ball's path will be killed, allowing the player to defeat enemies in some cases, but Pikmin (that aren't [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[Winged Pikmin]]) are more likely to be [[Crushing|crushed]] if the player does not pay attention. As such, it is not advised to have more than 20 Pikmin [[charge]] at a ball, as some of them may get in front of it while attempting to find a spot to push on. | ||

When pushed, it falls down to the second level, then to the third. It then heads right, circles the third level of the fortress and destroys the brick wall shortly before the starting point. It then circles around once more but veers off to the left before the wall's spot, descending to the lowest level. It then rolls a bit more forward and drops at the [[hay]] ledge just before the electric gate. Finally, it proceeds forward for a bit, turns to the left of the building made of blocks, goes over the rim of the stage, stops abruptly after a bit, and then disappears one second later. | ||

There is an iron ball at the start of the corridor that when pushed, goes down the corridor, breaking both walls, and then keeps going towards the bottom player's Onion, slightly off to the right. It then careens off the rim of that Onion's room and disappears shortly after. | ||
