The Ghosts of Christmas are characters that appear in the German Club Nintendo comic "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen". They are based on the ghosts in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and they serve the same function: making the main character of the story (Wario) aware of their bad behavior in order to turn them into a better person.
Characters[edit]
Geist der Vergangenheit[edit]
The Geist der Vergangenheit, resembling Toad, appears when Wario is lying in bed, after he had cold-heartedly fired Bomberman out of his shop. The ghost shows Wario two events of his past: First, there is a scene with baby Mario and Wario on the beach, with the former having lots of friends around, while the latter is all alone due to his meanness. The second event is Mario and Wario's graduation ball. Toadstool danced only with Mario, because he was much nicer than his rival. After he has seen these events, Wario admits that he has always been a bad man.
Geist der Gegenwart[edit]
The Geist der Gegenwart resembles Link and appears just after the Geist der Vergangenheit is gone. He takes Wario to Bomberman as well as Kid Klown and Kirby, all of which he has displeased the day before. After this experience, Wario asks how he can amend his behavior.
Geist der Zukunft[edit]
The Geist der Zukunft appears in form of the Grim Reaper, and takes Wario to a toy shop in the future. Two kids are asking for Wario games, but are told that nobody would care about this "nasty guy" anymore. The children agree and decide to buy the latest Super Mario game instead. Finally, the Geist der Zukunft invites Wario to a graveyard, where he finds his own forsaken grave. The ghost tells Wario what to do, and Wario follows his instructions: He rehires Bomberman, gives cookies to Kirby and Kid Klown, and joins Mario's Christmas party.
