'''Clown-a-Round''' is a strange, clown-like boss in ''[[Wario World]]''. He is fought in [[Wonky Circus]]. The battle takes place on two platforms, connected by a tightrope. When wanting to cross over to a different side, Clown-a-Round calls for a huge ball with [[Glue Globe]]s on the side. Wario cannot cross the tightrope himself. He must follow Clown-a-Round by grabbing onto a Glue Globe and hitching a ride.

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 Globe]]s 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 [[punch]]ed 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 Toss]]ed 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.


Clown-a-Round's apparent "head" is not really his head at all. Clown-a-Round will take off his "head" and fling it and others at [[Wario]]. The disembodied heads can still hop around and even float back up to the arena should they get punched off. The heads may strike at Wario, or simply explode. Clown-a-Round usually lets his heads do the attacking; his only other attack is when Wario fails to grab onto a Glue Globe on the giant ball. Clown-a-Round will fling the ball to the other platform, causing a huge explosion. Fortunately, two small alcoves can offer Wario protection from the attack.

To damage him, wait for Clown-a-Round to begin throwing his heads around. His ''real'' head, oddly located on his stomach will become vulnerable. Just attack him and [[Power Throw]] him off the stage, but whenever he loses a health skull, 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 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.
