Wario



"So admit it..... Don't I look cool in the game screens? Those long, muscular legs on my sturdy toned frame.... I'm the perfect specimen of a man..... What!?!? You say I look fat and my quadruple chin looks like a waterfall of flab? Shut up! That's just because you have your television set up on widescreen display!"

- Wario

Wario is a greedy character and Mario's yellow-and-purple clad rival. Wario's greed pushes him to do evil acts, such as the seizing of Mario's Castle. Due to his money grubbing personality, he is not liked by many citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Wario has also been proved to be very cunning as he has tricked Mario on few occasions. He has even gone out on his own adventures; from stealing treasure to running a mini-game making company. Wario has helped heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom on a few separate occasions, as well.

Wario has even assisted many Yoshis in Yoshi's Island DS, using his special coin magnet. Wario, as his baby self, was still as greedy as he is now. In fact, he deserted the Yoshis in favor of thieving Bandits.

A Greedy Baby
Main Article: Baby Wario

In Yoshi's Island DS, Wario appeared in his baby form for the first, and likely the only, time. Yoshi first finds Wario crying in an undersea cave, most likely abandoned after throwing a mega-fit. With only Baby Wario at his side, as all the other babies and the stork were swept away by a giant tsunami, Yoshi carries on his journey and discovers many of Wario's abilities.

With his huge magnet, Wario can attract coins and other metal objects to him with ease. Not surprisingly, Wario is one of the heaviest babies, making it hard for the Yoshis to cross wide gaps with him. Wario and Yoshi finally found the other babies safe and sound, and he decided to join the babies' team for good (or so it seemed).

After going through five levels, Wario saw a line of Bandits, each carrying a coin. As he was a very greedy baby, Wario jumped on the only Bandit with no coin, in the back of the line, hoping to snag some riches. It is unknown if he succeeded in getting the coins, or what the Bandits did to him. Just at the last level, Wario came back to help the Yoshis defeat Bowser. With Wario's help, Bowser was defeated, and all the babies of the world were saved.

The Great Opportunity


Although he was not present in Super Mario Land, Wario played a huge "behind the scenes" role. When Daisy was kidnapped by Tatanga, Wario took this chance to take over Mario's Castle. After Mario saved Princess Daisy, he headed back to his castle, making for the events of Super Mario Land 2.

The Takeover
While heading back to his castle after rescuing Daisy, Mario discovered that Wario had taken over his huge castle. (He even flipped the huge "M" on the door to a "W"!) Wario had sealed it away with the power of six Golden Coins, giving one to each of his six most powerful cronies. Mario battled through strange worlds, eventually gathering all the golden loot and facing off with Wario. After being badly beaten in a long and hard fight, Wario retreated to whence he had come.

An Angry Fight
Wario tried to have his revenge in Mario and Wario. Wario would put a bucket, or some other object, on Mario, Princess Peach, or Yoshi’s head to turn them into his slaves. Fortunately, Luigi escaped this "hypnotism" and enlisted the help of the good fairy Wanda. Wanda would guide the wandering heroes to Luigi, who would doff their headgear for them.

Wanda and Wario duelled after every level of this game; Wanda would have to slowly but surely damage Wario's plane. During the final round, his plane couldn't take anymore and Wanda blasted Wario out of the sky and freed the heroes from his grasp. Wario crash-landed near his castle, losing another fight with the heroes once more.

Battle For the Woods


Wario is also the villain of the game Wario's Woods. Wario, for some reason, wants to take over the woods, and is sending in an army to do it. This time he is stopped by Toad, Birdo and his old nemesis Wanda. Toad and Wanda must battle Wario's evil creatures in a Tetris-esque game, stacking and matching creatures to destroy them.

Wario will constantly appear in the box in the corner of the screen, making the ceiling fall down on Toad, and sending in more animals. He also appears between levels, telling Toad to give it up and go home. At the end, he makes a dummy of himself, fittingly called False Wario to fight Toad before he finally steps out and fights him himself. In the end, the heroic Toad defeated Wario and saved the woods.

Planet Bomber


In Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!, Wario stumbled upon Bomberman's home world. Seeing it as an opportunity to make a quick buck, he looted Planet Bomber and had an ungodly surge to get the complete decimation of Planet Bomber as well.

As Wario, he had to race through worlds, blowing up enemies and such (including Bomberman's army of Bombermen).

During Bomberman's raid, Wario and his False counterparts battled Bomberman, unmercifully after and during level completions. Armies of Wario awaited Bomberman without fail, and almost lead to Wario's victory. Tragically for Wario, he was on the loosing streak once more, and lost his treasure and the world he worked so hard to overrule to Bomberman himself.



Journey to Kitchen Island
Wario instantly rose in popularity, and after his appearance in Super Mario Land 2, he promptly appeared in his own game: Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. Wario Land features a new breed of Nintendo hero actions: greed. In this game, Wario is told that there is immense treasure to be found on Kitchen Island, but that is guarded by the terrible pirate, Captain Syrup.

When he gets to the island, he has a full out battle with the pirate crew, finally reaching the captain and discovering that captain syrup is... a girl! After a long fight with the captain and her genie, Wario escaped the collapsing castle with the pirate queen's loot, and gets the golden statue of Princess Peach desired for most of the game, only to get it stolen back by Mario.

Fortunately for Wario, the genies, grateful from being set free from Syrup, gives Wario his own pad based on how much treasure he has collected through the game.

Syrup's Revenge
Soon after the events of Wario Land, Wario returns in Wario Land II. In this game, Wario is indestructible, having no shortage of lives. Wario's nemesis, Captain Syrup and a few of her soldiers, the Pirate Gooms, steal Wario's treasure, flooding his entire fortress. After Wario wakes up and figures out what's going on, he chases them through the various lands to recover his riches... and get revenge on them for waking him up. The game has many endings and passageways, and a small choice during a level may change the outcome of the adventure.

Eventually, Wario made it to Syrup's hideaway and, apparently, did away with her, for she has never appeared in any other games...

The Music Box World


In Wario Land 3, Wario is flying his plane one day, when he crash-lands inside a cave. Finding a Music Box in the cave, he picked it up, wound it... and got transported to a new world. He met an oracle, who told him that he must collect the Music Cases scattered across the land.

After collecting the music cases, Wario went into the oracle's temple, where it revealed its true form... It was Rudy the Clown!

Rudy reveals that he used Wario to collect the Music Boxes, and that the "enemies" throughout the game were actually the enchanted citizens of the Music Box World. He then attacked Wario, engaging him in a hard fight, which Wario eventually won. Seconds after defeating the vile clown, the villagers, freed from their spell, heaped Wario with treasure and transported him to his own world.

The Ancient Pyramids


In the events of Wario Land 4, Wario decided to take to the desert in his Car, searching for treasure that he found out existed from a newspaper blurb. He stumbles upon a black cat, who, as he follows it, leads him into a hole in the ground. Wario fell and found he was stuck in a pyramid...

He took advantage of the wealth opportunity to steal its treasures. After he fought through 5 agonizing worlds, 20 levels, and 6 bosses he got to the Golden Diva, mastermind of. After defeating her, he claimed the treasure and jewels he rightfully stole. Also, the black cat had just happened to be Princess Shokora, the original owner of the pyramid, who the Golden Diva had cursed into a feline form. Her appearance depends on how much treasure has been collected, and if not enough is collected, Wario's princess may be a child or a fat lady, something Wario is not too pleased about.

A Deadly Treasure


Wario makes a mistake when, in Wario World he steals a large Black Jewel. It turns out that the Black Jewel is actually alive and evil. It turns all of Wario’s treasure into monsters, and kicks Wario out of his castle!

Wario must battle through huge worlds filled with treasure, crushing huge monsters and overcoming gigantic challenges, to regain his castle. Along the way, he meets small forest pixies called "Spritelings", who aid him in his adventure.

After making his way through the transformed forests, castles, and deserts, Wario challenges the Jewel to a fight. The Jewel agrees, never dreaming that Wario had managed to free the Spritelings, whim the Jewel had sealed away. It turns out the pixies are the only way to destroy the Jewel, and after a long battle, the Jewel shatters, releasing its spell.

The Spritelings offer to rebuild the castle; how well and how fancy it turns out depends on Wario's current wealth.

Make a Million


In WarioWare, Wario starts a video game software company, and getting support from various friends including Jimmy T. and Mona, makes a best-selling video game.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, Wario sees a news report about a super-selling video game on TV. Thinking "Why couldn't I have done that?", he promises his friends money for their help, but at the end attempts to take all of the money they earn. But greed never pays, and in the end Wario is forced to share his gains.

Tilted
One day, when Wario was playing his Game Boy Advance, he lost his game, yet again. Angered, he flung his GBA against a wall, breaking it. Instantly remorseful, he went to his friend Dr. Crygor for help. Dr. Crygor fixed it. But there was no buttons! To move a character, the player of the game had to move the system.

Seeing an opportunity, Wario sold these tilt-sensitive games, making millions. The many games he sells make up the game WarioWare: Twisted.

The Castle Rescue


Wario is a playable character in Super Mario 64 DS. He (along with Luigi) came to "crash the party" after Mario is invited to see Princess Peach.

Wario is the final unlockable character; he can be unlocked by using Luigi's invisibility ability to get through the mirror in the tower of the castle. Once there, Luigi must get through a small icy stage and fight Chief Chilly. Ironically, Wario would have been the best choice for fighting him. After he was defeated, Luigi gets a key to Wario's door and Wario is then playable.

Wario is also the toughest member of Mario's group. He can break black bricks and cause more damage to enemies; traits that the others don't have. He also can become Metal Wario, which is the metal form of Wario just like Metal Mario. Instead of using a Metal Cap, he uses a Power Flower. His only weakness is his lack of speed and jumping abilities.

Touching is Good
In WarioWare: Touched! he steals two Game Boy systems, but drops them into a sewer. An old sewer worker finds them... but also finds a strange system that Wario had never seen before. Seeing a sneaky deal waiting to be made, Wario took the odd system anyway.

Eventually, the sly entrepreneur found that the system is touch-sensitive, and that this gimmick is an extremely drawing tactic for game sales. Wario promptly cashes in with more of he and his friend's games.

Starring Wario!
In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, while tracking down a missing Music Key, Mario comes upon Wario atop the Ferris Wheel in his carnival with a Music Key, supposedly given to him by Waluigi. Wario won't give Mario the Music Key without a fight, though: the wicked Wario challenges Mario to a dance-off for possession of the Key. In the end though, Mario beats Wario with tricky dance moves and manages to claim the Music Key.

Wario's New Moves
In Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Wario is gorging himself on cakes when he is interrupted by a small, strange creature which steals them from him. Wario gives chase, and the creature leads him to the "Temple of Form", where he discovers the "Form Baton". He takes it and, after running away from a boulder that chases him, he claims it as another piece of treasure.

Later, in the Tiny Wario level, Wario receives a new motorbike from Penny Crygor. He seems to enjoy riding it despite it being much too small for him, but he then suddenly gets sucked inside the contraption and is fired out the exhaust as several tiny Wario's. Afterwards they all launch into a strawberry patch and eventually recombine back into normal Wario. He is then approached by the strange creatures from the start who chase after him to retrieve the Form Baton, which leads him back to the temple where he accidentally drops the baton back in its place, receiving the creatures' gratitude. Whatever happens to Wario after that is not shown.

Master of Disguise
In Wario: Master of Disguise, Wario invents the TELMET to get onto a television show, and manages to steal the wand Goodstyle, which grants him unique form-changing abilities. Wario uses his new powers to collect pieces of an ancient artifact called the Wishstone, in hopes of having his wish of supreme wealth granted. Along the way, he's confronted by world class thieves Count Cannoli and Carpaccio, who are also after the Wishstone.

Unfortunately, there is a catch. The Wichstone, once assembled, would unleash the ancient demon Terrormisu from within! Terrormisu had the power to devour everything in world's souls! Luckily, Wario and Goodstyle managed to stop her rampage and trap her in an alternate dimension.

Physical Appearance and Traits


According to the Wario World instruction manual, Wario is at 308 pounds, although he claims it's just his clothes ("I like to layer!"). He has a black mustache and impressive, mouscular arms despite his weight problem. He commonly wears purple overalls (that do not seem to fit him very well) over a yellow shirt with green, elf-like shoes and a yellow hat.

Wario is prone to outbursts of anger, especially when he doesn't get his way. He has unhygienic habits, such as nose picking, and it's clear that the person he cares most about is himself, and money.

His shoes and pointed ears make him looks uncannily like an elf.

Strangely, unlike Waluigi, Luigi, and Mario, Wario's outfit is slightly different. Wario has cut off his long sleeves he had in Mario Party's 1 - 4 and various sports games up until then. Now, he sports the short sleeve shirt he has in the Wario Land games.

It's also noted that Wario's colors don't compute with the other three plumbers. He has a white streak on the rim of his yellow hat, and has white buttons instead of the usual yellow. It's possibly this way because yellow is the sign of joy and purple is more of a darker color. Wario is certainly not one to symbolize joy.

Powers and Abilities


Since Wario is human, his powers are not extremely wondrous and fantastic. However, his strength is many times stronger than a normal human. He is so strong that his strength exceeds his rival Mario and rivals that of Donkey Kong and even the powerful Bowser. In Wario World, Wario could use his strength to punish his enemies in a variety of ways, including the Piledriver, Corkscrew Conk, and Wild Swing-Ding.

Wario is commonly associated with explosives, including Bob-ombs, and ways of stealing coins, such as a magnet or even a large vacuum.

Wario's greatest strength, though, is with items, such as pots, which give him amazing and unique transformations. They're in Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land and appear all over Kitchen Island. With the Garlic Pot, Jet Pot, Bull Pot, or Dragon Pot, Wario can get to areas otherwise unreachable.

Personality
Wario is a greedy person, to a pig-like extent. He is so greedy, he will do anything to get money, be it stealing or going on an adventure. He is also a miser, as he never lets anyone touch his treasure. He can also be seen stuffing his face often like a pig, indicating that his greed is extended to food. Alas, his greedy nature overtakes him and he goes out of control occasionally, even going as far as to double-cross his friends.

Wario's not as dumb as he appears to be since he makes WarioWare games and can fly a plane. In fact, he may actually be very skilled at electronics, as he made a dimensional teleporter in a few seconds. The reason why many assume he is a bonehead is that he is hot-headed, clumsy, and sometimes forgets his common sense.

Wario is very aggressive, especially in the Mario Kart series, as he pushes racers off the road if in his way. In the Mario Party series, he apparently puts his greedy nature aside to play fair, if that's even in his vocabulary. In general sports, Wario is a bragger and a sore loser, even going as far as to claim that somebody is cheating when he loses.

Relationships With Other Characters


Mario had a violent rivalry with Wario, which shirred down in the years to followed. Wario and Mario have since had friendly disputes in sports and such. Luigi appears to have good relations with Wario. They've both saved each other's lives before and seem to chat in a lot in cut scenes. Princess Peach was grateful to Wario for rescuing her at one point, but always sides with Mario's team in sports events. Toad's relationship with Wario is unclear, but since his attack on the Woods, they are probably not on excellent terms.

One popular question is what exactly is Wario to Waluigi? Although it is commonly believed he is his brother, Waluigi’s Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy says that this is not confirmed. Some sources also state otherwise. For example, in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6, when Wario is paired up with Waluigi, their team name is the Wicked Bros. This may possibly indicate that Wario is not only related with Waluigi, but also that he has a last name.

Chain Chomp is often seen incorporated with Wario related tracks, fields, ect., as are Bob-ombs. It's most likely the case, he has a gargantuan power over them, along with Big Bob-omb. King Boo and Petey Piranha have both seen action time with him a few times also. Wario and Toadette are both described as "Secret Friends" in Mario Party 6, despite the fact that he is on negative terms with Toadette's counter-part, Toad. It has been hinted that he shares a mutual attraction with one of his employees, Mona.

Character Development
Wario was created by Hirofuymi Matsuoka, who also worked on Kid Icarus and Metroid. His name is a combination of Mario and Warui, a Japanese word meaning "bad."

In the past, it's been suggested that Wario was actually Foreman Spike. That theory has been debunked, though some people still believe that Wario is based on Spike.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in the episode "Plumbers Academy / Glasnuts", there are several plumbers that appear. One of the plumbers has a yellow and purple outer-lay that resembles Wario, and nether-the-less is a good prototype of him.

Appearance Development


When Wario first appeared in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, he had bigger shoes, a more cartoon look to him than Mario, but still resembled Mario in every feature.

By Wario Land, he retired his flat hat in exchange for an explorer hat with a "W" on the front. He lost his cartoon-like artwork charm as in the SML2 game, but got seemingly fatter and realistic.

Soon after that he returned to his normal hat and took on the other three Wario Land games in normal attire.

WarioWare introduced Wario's other outfit, a biker-esque stlye with pink pants. Ever since, he's been known to circulate between the two outfits, depending on the game he's hosted in.

Somewhere after Wario World, Wario started wearing short sleeves in Mario sports games, up until then he wore long sleeves, as the other three plumbers did.

Graphical Development
Wario's graphics varied in good and bad ways over the years he's been around.

Handhelds

In his early Game Boy games, his sprites were black and white, but mildly detailed and during his Game Boy Color games, he took on white outfits, along with yellow. His sprites in the Game Boy Color were mildly detailed as well, due to limited graphic allowances.



In his Game Boy Advance games, Wario Land 4 and the WarioWare series, his sprite changed dramatically, was strongly detailed, and they are trademark sprites in most senses and used in comics today.

In Super Mario 64 DS for the Nintendo DS Wario got his Wario World model. This is the only handheld game, at the moment, to have a 3D Wario graphic. He also, strangely, walks bow-leggedly.

N64

During his Nintendo 64 run, Wario was only mainly in Mario sports games. His models were blocky, 3D, but very poor. The low quality made it seem his nose was round, when it should've been garlic-shaped and his hands were round. His models looked like Picasso drawings rather than Wario himself.

GCN

Wario finally got his perfect molds and polygons in his Gamecube era. The Mario Party model and his sports models had better composition and he got his garlic nose visible and noticed. During Wario world, he apparently is bow-legged, along with the Super Mario 64 DS counterpart, while in other games he walks normal and his hands are normal.

Other Events
Wario has been in the Mario Party series since the first game and has played a large role in the series. He has his own level in Mario Party which stands as one of it's hardest. Wario's color is purple, and in Mario Parties 1-4 his sleeves are short, but in the rest, they are long. In Mario Party 2, Wario is the cause of the storyline, as he wants Mario Land to be named Wario Land. This starts the argument that develops the party. Wario introduced Waluigi to the rest of his "pals" in Mario Party 3, and his battle partner is a Bob-omb. Wario is also revealed to have a "secret friend" bond with Toadette.

In the Mario Kart series, Wario's first appearance was in Mario Kart 64., he has low speed and acceleration, but his mammoth weight can push any one off the road. According to the instruction manual, he got into the standings by stealing Koopa Troopa's kart. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Wario can only ride the heavy cars, so his choices are limited. Wario has three karts that belong to him in Mario Kart DS, but as the game progresses, the player can place him in any kart, be it Standard or Special.

In the Mario Golf series, Wario's brute strength comes in handy. H has a high impact, second only to DK and Bowser. Wario Sports a Yellow and Purple uniform and is a captain in the Super Mario Strikers series.

Future Appearances
Wario will be appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the upcoming Nintendo Wii, wearing his WarioWare costume. He will have a unique gas attack known as "Wario Waft". The more time passes, the stronger this attack will be.

Appearances in Other Media


In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Plumber's Academy / Glasnuts", an unnamed, overweight plumber wearing yellow and purple can be seen as a classmate of Mario and Luigi; this characters similarity to Wario is probably coincidental, as Wario would only be created several years after "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" was cancelled.

Wario made his first, full non-game appearance in Mario vs. Wario, a comic published by Nintendo Power.

In Mario vs. Wario, Wario sends Mario a letter saying "he wants to catch-up on old times". In actuality, Wario has prepared a trap for Mario, wanting to get revenge on him for Mario constantly "bullying" Wario in their youth; Wario especially hated playing cowboys with Mario, as he would always be the rustler who would be captured by "Sheriff Mario" and locked away.

As Mario makes his way to Wario's fortress, defeating all of Wario's minions, oblivious to the fact they are trying to kill him, an angered Wario watches Mario. Eventually, Mario reaches Wario's castle and is confronted by a giant-sized Wario. As Wario begins trying to pummel Mario, the plumber notices a plug on Wario and pulls it, deflating Wario's giant, look-a-like costume.

After hearing Wario call him a bully, Mario says that he didn't mean to "bully" Wario twenty years ago and apologizes. Wario, after hearing this apology, turns over a new leaf, unfortunately, Mario suddenly pulls out a cowboy costume and "convinces" Wario to play cowboys again, with Mario as the sheriff once again.

Wario also appeared in a second Mario vs. Wario comic, in which he receives an invitation to Princess Toadstool's birthday party. Wanting to get the Princess the perfect gift, Wario rushes-off to buy her a Samus Doll he remembered her admiring.

Unfortunately, when Wario arrives at the store, he learns from the Koopa shopkeeper that a guy with a "big black moustache" had already bought the doll. Wario, enraged, believes Mario to have been the one who bought the doll and begins to leave, until he notices a nearby, creepy jack-in-the-box. Grabbing the jack-in-the-box, Wario pays for it and wraps it.

Later on a Princess Toadstool's party, Wario makes several unsuccessful attempts to switch the jack-in-the-box with Mario's present. After a lot of effort, Wario does so, only to be shocked when the Princess opens his present and the sinister jack-in-the-box pops out. As the Princess throws the jack-in-the-box away in horror, Wario accuses Mario of setting him up and starts fighting with him.

During this scuffle, it is revealed that Mario's present is also a creepy jack-in-the-box and both Mario and Wario can only look on in surprise and dismay as Luigi gives his present to the Princess, the Samus Doll.

Mario Superstar Baseball Bio
"According to Wario, he's both Mario's rival and a childhood friend (this is unconfirmed). He actually runs his own video-game company and has produced many hot sellers.  Garlic is Wario's favorite food. It may lead to his incredible stamina, which makes him excellent at daring plays."

Super Smash Bros. Info


Wario made no appearance in the first Super Smash Bros. except for one of Mario's five costumes, but in Super Smash Bros. Melee, he appeared as a trophy. However, it has been revealed that Wario will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He will be wearing his outfit from WarioWare, Inc,: Mega MicroGame$. His fighting style seems to focus on powerful, short-range attacks. It's also been revealed that his Super Smash attack is a giant fart known as "Wario Waft". Wario stored up a large amount of flatulence and then released it, blowing other fighters away. The gas came in the shape of a mushroom cloud (like the explosion of an atomic bomb).

It is unknown if Wario uses these Chickens for agricultural purposes, though, as he refers to his Hen as his "beloved pet" in the game's manual. He is also seen doing some farm work in Game & Watch Gallery 4 in the cutscene for Fire Attack. On another note, his third vehicle in Mario Kart DS, Dragonfly, is a tractor.
