The Orb

The Orb is the top of the flagpole in Super Mario Maker 2. It is an all-powerful item that when touched, it grants the player a 1-Up for the Fans and the Dub.

Appearance
The Orb changes form depending on the game you're in. In [https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros. Super Mario Bros.], it is a green sphere with a black outline and a green shade, while onward it was took the form of a golden shiny sphere.

Localization
The Orb rests in the top of the flagpole that is common at the end of nearly every Mario level, except the castles. The games Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World lack this orb, however, they have an equivalent to it that doesn't grant as much power and glory, but can give a 1-Up for the fans. The SMB3's case, the Roulette Goal rotates between different power-ups, like a Mushy, a Fire Flower, etc. One of the power-ups is a 1-Up for the Fans. If the player manages to touch the Roulette Goal while the 1-Up is active, the player receives a 1-Up for the Fans. In the contrary, in the SMW game style, the Giant Gate will have a tape that will move up and down in constant velocity. A 1-Up for the Fans will be granted if the tape is crossed on the apex of its movement.

Power
When touched, the Orb will grant the player a 1-Up for the Fans and greet them with a Dub, causing the level to end. The Orb is sometimes seen as a "true ending" to levels, as it gives an unarguably superior ending to the flaccid, weak normal grab of the flagpole. The player must always grab the Orb when it's possible, even if it means risking it and throwing.

In the Super Mario 3D World theme, there is a quick and fast way of obtaining the Orb. If the player has a Super Bell, it will automatically climb and grab the Orb, wherever the player attaches to the pole.
