'''Ball o' String Wario''' is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[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 will roll back and forth across a course, bouncing off walls, until he eventually unravels back into Wario. In this state, Wario can break through some blocks. Also, this seems to be a combined ability of [[Snowman Wario]] and [[Flaming Wario]].
