Wario is once again playable in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', where he now has a new tennis outfit. He also serves as an antagonist in the game's Adventure Mode, where he and Waluigi hear about a legendary tennis racket named [[Lucien]] and opt to steal it for themselves. However, it possesses them, along with Luigi, forcing Mario to search for the five [[Power Stone]]s to stop Lucien. Mario finds three, while Wario and Waluigi find two, so they challenge Mario, Peach, and Daisy to [[Lucien Cup Finals|a tournament]] for ownership of the Power Stones. Wario and Waluigi face Peach and Daisy in a doubles match, in which they are defeated, while the possessed Luigi is defeated by Mario. Lucien and the Power Stones are then stolen by Bowser, who uses them to become [[Bowcien]]. After Mario defeats Bowser and breaks Lucien, Wario and Waluigi are returned to normal. They express disappointment at Lucien's destruction, believing that such a powerful racket could have made them the best tennis players in the world, causing Daisy to scold them of how that was what started the commotion in the first place. | Wario is once again playable in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', where he now has a new tennis outfit.

Wario makes a small appearance in a manga inside the ''{{wp|Nintendo Space World|NSW2K}} Hand Book'', which was included in the appendix of the October 2000 volume of ''[[Nintendo DREAM|The 64 DREAM]]''. He can be seen reading the handbook in the manga. Wario has also been drawn by Nintendo staff members for the magazine under its current name, ''Nintendo DREAM'', including a ''nengajō'' based on ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' drawn by [[Goro Abe]] for New Year's Day 2010, as well as being part of [[Hiroji Kiyotake]]'s signature. | |||

After rescuing his friends, Wario encounters the [[Pyoro|one responsible]] for kidnapping them and helps his allies defeat it. His celebration is short lived, as it is revealed that the culprit had nothing of value to offer Wario. Wario, without treasure yet again, scowls as he laments the fruitlessness of his long journey. | After rescuing his friends, Wario encounters the [[Pyoro|one responsible]] for kidnapping them and helps his allies defeat it.

Wario is the first playable character in the game. As a playable character, Wario flies around with {{button|switch|leftstick}}. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes him perform a [[Dash Attack|dash attack]] horizontally in the direction he is facing, travelling a short distance in front of him. This ability allows him to push any heavy object effectively, (e.g. [[Rock-a-Bye]] and [[Fire Works]], the two microgames that deem him a good fit). However, being able to attack horizontally results in poor vertical ability (e.g. [[Piggy Pluck]], the only game considered a bad fit). Owing to his status as the first character, Wario acts as a tutorial or baseline character, with 10 microgames deeming him a below-average fit, 95 games deeming him an average fit, and 104 games deeming him an above-average fit. | Wario is the first playable character in the game.
