Ball (originally known as Toss-Up in North America) is a Game & Watch game released as a part of the Silver series on April 28, 1980. It was the first Game & Watch game released, and has been released a number of times over the years in a number of ways. Multiple games and accessories feature Ball as an Easter egg, including the Game Boy Camera and Kanji Sonomama DS Rakubiki Jiten. It also frequently appeared in the Game & Watch Gallery series, which both compiles Game & Watch games and remakes them with Mario characters. It was also released for the DSi on the DSi Shop as an individual game along with several other Game & Watch games.

Gameplay
Ball is displayed on a single-screen Game & Watch system, and offers players two ways to play it. In Game A, players have to juggle two balls at a time. As the balls fall, players must move the juggler's hands to catch them, earning a point for each successful catch. The object is to continuously catch the balls that fall and throw them back up, and if a single ball is dropped, the game ends. In Game B, players must juggle three balls at a time, with each successful catch rewarding ten points instead of one. In addition to the normal gameplay, Ball also has a clock.
