Foul Balls is a microgame in WarioWare: Twisted! found in Mona's stage. It returns in WarioWare Gold under the name Dodge Ball as one of Dr. Crygor's microgames. Its original name comes from "foul ball", a term in baseball that describes a ball that fails to stay within the foul lines after the batter strikes it.

Gameplay[edit]

In WarioWare Twisted!, the player controls a green stickman. The objective of the game is to avoid the baseballs by tilting his head. If the stickman gets hit by a baseball, the player will lose the microgame. His face will change colors depending on how many times he gets hit. He becomes purple after getting hit the first time, blue the second time, and red the third time. The gameplay is the same in WarioWare Gold, but the player controls a schoolgirl in a gym uniform, not a stickman. She also dodges volleyballs instead of baseballs. A first hit flings away her hat, a second hit flings away her glasses (revealing crosses[1] for eyes), and a third hit flings away her pigtails. As she is unable to move after getting hit once, the only way to get hit by multiple balls is to either not move away from the center or if multiple balls come from the same direction. Winning causes the girl to smirk slightly as other students applaud.

  • Level 1: One ball must be dodged.
  • Level 2: Two balls must be dodged.
  • Level 3: Three balls must be dodged.
