Garlic

Garlic is a common item found in the Wario video game series. Garlic appears to be Wario's favorite food. It has approximately the same effect that Mushrooms have on Mario.

In WarioWare: Touched!, Wario can eat some nasty garlic on the character selection screen and he will transform into Wario-Man, who has new microgames. In the game Wario World, Garlic heals Wario, and Garlic Dispensers vend cloves of it to him.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wario becomes Wario-Man after he eats a clove of garlic.

Appearances in Other Media
Garlic appears only once in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. In one episode ("Count Koopula"), Mario and the gang needed to save Princess Toadstool from Count Koopula. Mario and the gang ate Garlic and then, Mario now had stinky breath. Mario opened his mouth in front of Count Koopula, and Koopula, horrified by the breath, ran away. In one live-action segment, right before commercials start, Garlic was mentioned.

Trivia

 * Garlic looks like an upside-down Mushroom, Mario's symbol.
