The '''iron balls''' are objects found throughout ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that serve as an intractable [[obstacle]], 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. | The '''iron balls''' are objects found throughout ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that serve as an intractable [[obstacle]], much like the [[cardboard box]]es.

Iron balls are always placed at the tip of a slope, so they will rush down a fixed path once the Pikmin have set one in motion. With its momentum and weight, it will break open walls the Pikmin could not have torn down themselves. This opens entrances and exits to other parts of an [[Areas|area]]. Creatures in the ball's path will be killed, allowing the player to defeat enemies in some rare cases, but Pikmin are more likely to be crushed if the player does not pay attention. [[Rock Pikmin]] will survive the hit. | Iron balls are always placed at the tip of a slope, so they will rush down a fixed path once the Pikmin have set one in motion.
