Ball o' String Wario[1] (also parsed Ball-O-String Wario[2]) is one of Wario's reactions in Wario Land 3. Getting covered in Silky's or Anonster's spider silk turns the player into Ball o' String Wario, a rolling yellow yarn ball. In this form, Wario rolls back and forth off walls uncontrollably, able to break any Itodama Blocks on his way, until he eventually unravels and become dazed.
