'''Ball o' String Wario''' is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series. Getting covered in [[Wormy]]'s spider silk in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' turns Wario into Ball o' String Wario, a rolling yellow yarn ball. Wario rolls back and forth across a course, bouncing off walls, until he eventually unravels back into Wario. In this state, Wario can break through yarn blocks.

Ball o' String Wario shares similar traits with [[Snowman Wario]] and [[Flaming Wario]].
