Glue Globe
A Glue Globe is an orange sphere with a red Crystal Entity's symbol on the side in Wario World. By jumping at one, Wario grabs on automatically.[1] Some Glue Globes move, while others stay floating in the air without moving. Wario can jump off in the direction of where he was on the Glue Globe, and he can gain a lot of momentum by jumping off of a moving Glue Globe, allowing for far travel. There are also Glue Globes that have ByeBye Balloons on them, and these send Wario either to the start or halfway through the level, depending on where he is located. Wario, through the game manual, says that he feels somewhat embarrassed being on Glue Globes.[2][3]
There are certain variants on Glue Globes throughout the game. In Horror Manor, some Glue Globes with jack-o'-lantern faces (also called Glue Globe Ghosts[4]) materialize and rise out of small glowing circles on the ground. Wonky Circus introduces Glue Globes that rotate on long poles (also called Glue Globe Poles[5]), stopping briefly in four directions. In Beanstalk Way, Tulipatooies spit and inhale Glue Globes. In the Mirror Mansion, there are globe-tailed lions,[6] which are mechanical lions with Glue Globes on their tails that Wario can ride to traverse obstacles.
