Fat Wario

Fat Wario, also known as Large Wario , is one of Wario's many reactions from the Wario Land series of games. To achieve this state, Wario must eat a cake thrown by a Cook, a doughnut thrown by a Doughnuteer, or an apple thrown by an Appleby or a Ringosukī. This will cause him to swell to immense portions of morbid obesity, allowing him to destroy enemies and certain blocks by simply moving through them, but his jumping abilities are diminished greatly, and he will move waddle slowly, although his regular jumps have the effect of Ground Pounds when he falls. Doughnut blocks are able to be destroyed by falling on them, including after jumping on them. In Wario Land II only, if the player presses up on, Fat Wario’s jump extends to as high as normal Wario’s regular jump. Fat Wario's state can be remedied by walking and/or jumping until it wears off, or falling into water.

Fat Wario makes a brief appearance in Super Mario-kun. Before Wario ground pounds on Cractus, Arewo Shitain-hakase throws an apple to Wario's mouth, turning Wario into Fat Wario. Although Fat Wario lands in the jaws of Cractus, Fat Wario's weight crushes it, defeating it.

Fat Wario makes a cameo appearance in WarioWare: Touched! in the microgame Wanna Slice?. When the player cuts the pizza into eight slices (in the third level difficulty of the microgame), the artwork of Fat Wario from Wario Land II can be seen on the dish.

In real life, the high quantity of fructose in apples is sometimes attributed to causing temporary bloating, which may explain why they are one of the foods that trigger Fat Wario.
