'''Ball''' is one of [[Wario]]'s transformations in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]] of games. The form bears a striking resemblance to the [[Floating Face]] from ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. It is only seen in the sports hare boss battles in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', respectively against the basketball player [[Dunk]] in [[Anyone for B-ball?]] and the soccer player [[Shoot]] in [[A Town in Chaos]]. Depending on which one is [[stomp]]ed, it occurs to either Wario or his opponent. As a ball, the user dribbles on the ground and becomes vulnerable to be used by the opponent to score a point. The first to three points wins the boss game, allowing Wario to either progress or be sent to an earlier room. If Wario becomes inflicted, the player can still move slowly left or right in an effort to avoid the hare. Wario can lose the form if hit by a basketball projectile in ''Wario Land II'' (or, in the hare's case, if the hoop is missed) or if caught and thrown by the tortoise goalie in ''Wario Land 3''; otherwise, the user will be reverted once the opponent scores a point with him.
