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 the player rolls back and forth off walls uncontrollably across a level until they eventually unravel, causing Wario to be dazed. In this state, the player can break through yarn blocks.
