Drago[1] is the sixth boss that Toad faces in Game B of the Round Mode in the Famicom/NES version of Wario's Woods. It is a somewhat large, smug, green dragon.
History[edit]
Wario's Woods[edit]
Drago is fought in the 59th round and has 16 HP. Its special attack is to become red and spit fire, turning all bombs onscreen into enemies. Drago can throw enemies and teleport around, like other bosses. If Drago teleports on Toad, the latter loses instantly.
Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]
In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Drago is the last of Fauster's helpers to be summoned. During the second act of Super Mario: Wario no Mori, Wario and Fauster's base is near a canyon where the giant statue of Drago stands. Later, when Mario, Princess Peach, and Birdo arrive on the scene, Fauster uses a Diamond to awaken the statue. Drago is completely immune to bombs, but following Chiyōrō-sama's suggestion, Mario uses a cape to fly around it and take the Diamond that awakened it from its head, turning it back to stone and making it crumble to pieces.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Drago also appears in chapter 6 of volume 13 of Super Mario-kun as a machine created by Wario and his monsters. To activate it, Wario transfers part of his personality into it, making it aggressive and cruel, but also insecure of his body, capable of making deadly farts and having a soft spot for the ladies, which is ultimately how he is won over, by using Birdo as a damsel for him to cuddle, while the others also crossdress to get pass him.
