Face Ball

Wario below a Face Ball, which has just released three Little Face Balls.

Face Ball is an enemy seen in the game Virtual Boy Wario Land. They are only seen in Stage 10, within small rooms thoughout the level. Face Balls are a large levitating ball with a face that resembles a Phanto mask. They have two crescent eyes, a tongue and two fangs visible within their mouth. During gameplay, there are several rooms where pictures of Face Ball are seen on the walls of the background, with a real, unmoving Face Ball accompanying. The Face Ball will begin to flash and come to life as Wario approaches it. At this point, the path onward into the next room will be sealed. The Face Ball will approach the foreground and produce three Template:Conjecturaltext, smaller versions of the enemy with spikes protruding from their underside. Little Face Balls will synchronously float towards the ground, harming Wario if he makes contact with the spikes. If these Little Face Balls reach the ground, they will disappear. The Face Ball will then proceed with its next attack, which is to move across the stage while a wall of a harmful, flaming substance gushes out of its mouth. This substance will soon subside. It will repeat this attack one more, subsequently releasing three Little Face Balls once again. The gushing from its mouth can be interrupted if Wario bumps or stomps on the Face Ball. However, this will cause it to fly around the room and release another round of Little Face Balls.

Little Face Balls can be stunned by stomping the top of their head, avoiding the spikes. They are then able to be picked up and carried by Wario. If Wario touches the Face Ball with the smaller stunned counterpart, it will shrink and fall out of sight in the background, and thus be defeated. The path to the next room will also open up. The form that the large Face Ball takes while being defeated is identical to a stunned Little Face Ball. There are a total of four Face Ball rooms in the stage.
