Ballz 3D (originally subtitled Fighting at Its Ballziest in North America and The Battle of the Balls in Europe) is a 1994 fighting game developed by PF.Magic and published by Accolade for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, with a 3DO version being released as a director's cut in 1995. The game offers three difficulty levels over a total of 21 matches. Its distinguishing quality was that each of the characters were composed completely of spheres, giving the game a pseudo-3D look. Although the game was not a major success, it was generally well-received by critics, and PF.Magic reused its graphics technology in the Petz line of virtual pet titles (Dogz, Catz and Oddballz).
