| '''Phony Ball''' is the name of the [[Star Skill]] that [[Wario]] uses in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. While pitching, Wario is able to throw both a regular baseball and a clove of garlic, confusing the batter as to which one to hit. The player must obtain the [[Gnarly Garlic]] Power-Up in Challenge Mode before being able to use this move. | | The '''Phony Ball''' is [[Wario]]'s special ball in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. |

|
| If Wario is batting, he hits both a clove of garlic and a baseball, confusing the fielders as to which ball is real to catch. The ball is hit as a high fly ball, and splits into the real ball and the garlic shortly before hitting the ground. Attempting to catch the garlic results in the fielder being stunned. It is similar to [[Waluigi]]'s [[Liar Ball]] with the only difference being is that Waluigi uses an eggplant in place of garlic, and that Wario's skill hits the ball a considerably longer distance, usually landing in the outfield.
| | When Wario throws the ball, it splits into two in order to confuse the batter as to which one to hit. If they hit the wrong one, they will find a clove of garlic and the pitch will be counted as a strike. |

| | When Wario bats the ball, it splits into two once more in order to leave the fielders guessing which one they should catch. |

| In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', the Phony Ball operates a bit differently. Instead of using garlic, Wario will throw two baseballs, with one of them being a fake. The balls will move at relatively slow speeds, giving the batter a chance to find the real baseball. However, the batter could end up hitting the fake ball, which would result in a strike.
| | Before Wario can throw Phony Balls in Challenge Mode, he must buy the Gnarly Garlic. |

| *In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', if the player uses the vertical [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] control scheme, the batter will always be aligned to hit the real baseball. | | *Waluigi's [[Liar Ball]] acts in the same way as the Phony Ball. |
