The Ball 'N' Chain is a gimmick in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, found exclusively in the Tier X stage Mario Land. It is a large spiked ball on a chain that spins in a circle. Ball 'N' Chains also made a surprise reappearance in the Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero stage Code Landfill.

Behavior

Ball 'N' Chains slowly spin clockwise around a single point, which it is linked to via a chain. Though the ball itself deals damage when touched, the chain can be touched without any harm. In Mario Land, although it is immune to fireballs and normal jumps, it can be destroyed with enough spin jump hits.

In Code Landfill, Ball 'N' Chains are completely invincible to all weapons. Additionally, some Ball 'N' Chains will swing back and forth like a pendulum, rather than clockwise, and move at more variable speeds.
