STUPID BALLZ 3, known as STUPID BALLZ 3: The Jank Bullshit (or UNINTELLIGENT TESTICLEZ The 3rd on the title screen), is a ROM hack created by MorningStorm. It is the fourth entry of the STUPID BALLZ series and released in April 2024, four years after its predecessors. Consisting a total of 133 Stars, the hack compiles a new set of memes and kaizo hack parodies while keeping the gameplay and difficulty fresh (and stupid at the same time) in true STUPID BALLZ fashion.
Levels contains a large amount of secrets to collect in the form of "dead goombas". These are the substitutes of the red coins/100 coin Stars--although there are little ways of red coins present in the game.
Plot[]
There's no story. Just none, but stupid, janky brown, diarrhea bullshit for the mental suffering of the wicked.
Help Mario collect the Nothing Burgers and take on various shitty challenges. Do you have what it takes to defeat the STUPID BALLZ for the third time?

Trivia[]
- Katze's profile picture can be seen as the background of Insert Level Theme Here, as well as an image of Cap'n Crunch's Choco Donuts as Chocolate Crunch's background.
- Da Crash 'N' Burns is an inside joke that uses profile pictures of LinCrash's and Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons series.
- Koopa Cluster can crash the game if the player goes to break the coin boxes open first. Notably this issue happens if the HUD is not displayed in-game or in the pause menu as normal.
- The level name "Fishman Divination Commission" comes from a miscaption, which can be seen in the level background. The background itself is taken from the game Honkai: Star Rail, along with the Fu Xuan character.
- In Land of C°&C&°C&, a large text appears on the top of the level and reads as followed:
"Trapped forever within the decay of abandonment, the unfamiliar familiarity, the unending which is cosmic in scale yet claustrophobic in scope, at the intersection of wonder, despair, and madness, you find yourself lost in this desolate introspection". Then later, if the player takes the pipe and comes at the same area, another text appears and reads as the following:
"Biologically speaking, I am alive whereas in matters of fullfilment and contentment, I could not be more dead".
