Talk:Wario (franchise)

Wario Blast is missing. I think Mario and Wario, too.ChozoBoy 13:12, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

Wario Blast is not missing, and Mario and Wario does not count. Wario is the main antagonist. Also, I think WarioWare games should be added to this list. A Link to the Present 16:00, 24 January 2011 (EST)

The Donkey Kong series article has Donkey Kong as the first game when DK is the main antagonist Commander Code-8

Twenty?

The infobox for this article says there are 20 entries into the Wario series, yet I only count 17. I'd change this number, but I'm not entirely certain if it's the article's problem or mine. Anyone have any idea where the other three came from? 1337star 15:18, 23 June 2011 (EDT)

I counted 18 so they might be counting Mario & Wario and Wario's Woods in there Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Coverage

Say, anyone agree it'd be better to move the Wario Land game and character information to the (rather dismal) Wario Land series page and have this page for the one-offs like Wario World and Master of Disguise? --Glowsquid (talk) 21:20, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

Considering Mario (franchise) lists every single Mario game under the sun, reserving an article titled "Wario (series) solely for one-offs is... kinda odd to me. Shouldn't we list all Wario games here and then go into more depth for certain games on the subseries page (Wario Land (series), WarioWare (series), etc.) like we do for the Mario series article? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

(for reference, I consider that page's listing of things already listed on more specific pages to be pointless too). --Glowsquid (talk) 21:34, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

Considering the amount of subseries pages we have, I wouldn't mind if the "main" Mario series page was reserved for one-offs and we could then link to the relevant pages. It'd certainly make it less padded and cluttered. Maybe a proposal could be made about it? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I'll just drop in and say that the "Partners series" section is wholly unecessary and too loosely connected to have a section in this article Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 21:53, 19 September 2014 (EDT)

This article's infobox sure is weird. The about file for the logo in the infobox says it's a trace from the box art of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. More specifically, it's the Japanese Wario Land boxart; the English one has Wario's head in the middle of the "O". There are two things I dislike about this:

• a) Shouldn't we be using the English box art as a basis, as this is an English wiki which always favors North American releases for things like article names and box art in infoboxes?
• b) No other Wario games use this branding, like zero, nada, zilch. That's probably because there's no such thing as a plain "Wario" brand game, but still. We can't just go and apply the style of one game to the entire franchise! And on what grounds are we choosing Wario Land specifically? Easiest one of the Wario video game logos to mockup a version unlinked to the game its from, since its probably the only one without something inside the "O"? That's hardly a good reason.
• c) Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 released in 1994. Even if it is the only option for an all-encompassing Wario logo, the visual stylings of that game in no way represent the Wario brand in the 21st century.

I'd rather give up and put both the Wario Land logo and WarioWare logo in the infobox of this article. Even though using two series logos for a franchise page is nonstandard, they're used in North America, are more current, and together represent the totality of modern Wario releases (Wario: Master of Disguise is retro-enough in my book.)Salmancer (talk) 22:58, July 20, 2025 (EDT)

Point B is false; Wario's Woods and Wario Blast both use that. Of course, they're also old. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:46, July 21, 2025 (EDT)

The Japanese version of Virtual Boy Wario Land also uses this logo style. rend (talk) (edits) 00:51, July 21, 2025 (EDT)
