[[Image:clownaround.jpg|thumb|The evil clown himself!]]'''Clown-a-Round''' was a strange, clown-like boss in ''[[Wario World]]''. He was the boss of [[Wonky Circus]]. His main attack is throwing dummy, explosive heads, and also flinging a huge, explosive striped ball. The battle takes place on two platforms, connected by a tightrope. When wanting to cross over to a different side, he calls for a huge ball with [[Glue Globe]]s on the side. When this happens, stick yourself onto the globes rotating the sphere and go for a ride. But when your feet touch solid ground, vacate the area befor you get blasted! To damage him, just attack him and throw him off the stage, but whenever he loses a hitpoint, one of the glue globes on his big ball will fall off, making it harder to hitch a ride. But keep trying, and when beaten, he gives access to the boss of [[Spooktastic World]], [[Dual Dragon]]!

“The Clown-a-Round at the Goal may look funny, but he's actually a huge pain! When he gets on his ball and rolls away, you'd better clear out, too!”
—Spriteling, Wario World

The Clown-a-Round is a boss in Wario World. He is a clown-like character fought in Wonky Circus. The battle takes place on two platforms, connected by a tightrope that Clown-a-Round crosses over by calling for a huge ball with Glue Globes on the side. Clown-a-Round can be followed by Wario grabbing on to a Glue Globe. The Clown-a-Round has several heads, so his outer head is not his actual one. The Clown-a-Round attacks by taking off its head and flinging it and others at Wario. The heads are able to charge up and ram Wario, or hop around and float back up the arena if punched off. The Clown-a-Round less commonly attacks by throwing the ball to the other platform, causing a huge explosion, if Wario does not grab on a Glue Globe successfully. The attack is dodged if Wario enters one of the small alcoves. Clown-a-Round's real face is revealed as its other heads are being thrown around, leaving it vulnerable to attack and being Mega Tossed off stage by Wario. Each time Clown-a-Round loses a health icon, a Glue Globe falls off of its ball. When the Clown-a-Round has only two health skulls remaining, the heads that he spawns split into two when first damaged.
