** Makoto's Comet Cannon is another, but she lays it out as a mine first, and can opt to launch it later. It's still damaging as a mine, so one can shut down rushdown tactics in this fashion and crash [[SkillGateCharacter ice cars]] as needed.

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Athena and her Psychic Friends can throw energy balls. Hers and Kensou's don't bounce, but Bao's does, and Athena has the ability to ''become'' an energy ball herself, and fire copies of herself at enemies.

* In ''Fanfic/TheApprenticeTheStudentAndTheCharlatan'' and ''Fanfic/TheArchmagesLastBow'', Nova Shine uses five of these as extensions of his Source for spellcasting, allowing him to target opponents from multiple angles, physically harass opponents, illuminate dark rooms, and even as physical stepping stones to gain altitude. Their shape appears to be personal preference, as Star Swirl instead uses lines that he can use to create a magic whip.

** The ever-popular Fireball spell, which flies out as a smaller bead and explodes into a large globe of fire.
** Also, the Psionic Power "Energy Ball".
** Not to mention the Epic Level Spell: Hellball.
** Though perhaps the best examples are the various "Orb of [[ElementalPowers X]]" spells -- [[HollywoodAcid Acid]], [[AnIcePerson Cold]], [[ShockAndAwe Electricity]], [[PlayingWithFire Fire]], [[PureEnergy Force]], and [[MakeMeWannaShout Sound]] -- most of which have a "Lesser" version too (only Force doesn't).

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros''. Unique in that not only does the fireball bounce off the ground, it also obeys gravity. Freaky!

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', it's a fairly common ranged attack option among the characters, and usually (though not always) a ChargedAttack. Most characters who use it are simply bringing such attacks from their home games: [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]] have their fireballs, [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu and Ken]] have their Hadokens, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo and Lucario]] use Shadow Ball and Aura Sphere, respectively, Franchise/MegaMan attacks with his energy pellets, [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus and Dark Samus]] use their Charge Beam attacks; all these are described elsewhere on this page. In addition, the [[VideoGame/WiiFit Wii Fit Trainer]], [[AdaptationalBadass a mundane yoga instructor in her own game]], can use the Sun Salutation sequence to conjure a sphere of solar energy in ''Smash'', and the [[OriginalGeneration Mii Gunner]] gets a Samus-style ChargedAttack [[CharacterCustomization as an option]].

Warning: just because it's shaped like a ball doesn't always mean it will [[PinballProjectile bounce off flat surfaces]] (although if it does, expect it to [[HyperDestructiveBouncingBall instantly destroy anything it touches]]). In fact, they're far more likely to explode on impact, sometimes [[SphereOfDestruction in an equally spherical blast]]. You may need special equipment if you want to [[PlayingTennisWithTheBoss play tennis]]. Often created by SuckingInLines.
