Baby Wario



Baby Wario is the baby version of Wario who appears in Yoshi's Island DS, along with Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Bowser and Baby Donkey Kong. Not much is known about this infant, but it appears that Wario was greedy even as a child. Baby Wario's special move has been officially stated to be "magnetism", which allows him to grab Adult Wario's favorite things, Coins. The magnet can also grab hold of metal platforms around the area.

When Baby Wario was originally kidnapped, his tantrums got so annoying that the Toadies decided to abandon him in World 3-5. Some time after that, Yoshi stumbled across him, having been seperated from the Stork and the other babies. Baby Wario assisted Yoshi throughout the rest of World 3, but he got away from him after Level 3-8, joining up with Bandits in hope of even more riches. Yoshi, and the rest of the babies meet up with Baby Wario one last time in Bowser's Castle where he and Baby Bowser are arguing over the castle's treasure. After helping the Yoshis defeat Bowser and the castle's subsequent destruction, Baby Wario claims the treasure for himself. However, Baby Bowser, who got knocked out by the debris trying to ride on Kamek's broom, falls into the treasure, beginning their arguments again.

Appearances in Other Media
Baby Wario made his first appearance in 1995, when he was shown in the German Club Nintendo comic "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen". His appearance actually served as a flashback in Adult Wario's life; the Ghost of Past reminded him of this event, in order to make him aware of his bad behavior in the past. Baby Wario and Baby Mario are seen on the beach, building sandcastles. Baby Mario is surrounded by lots of friends, whereas Baby Wario is all alone, due to him being mean to everyone, according to the Ghost of Past. After this reminder, Wario admits that he has always been evil.

The comic depicts both babies without their hats.

Trivia

 * Baby Wario is also playable in Extra 3: Number Ball Special.
 * Baby Wario has Wario's near-famous pointy ears. However, in his artwork, his hat or Yoshi covers them, so it could have led many to assume that he has normal ears.
 * The artwork above (which is also depicted on the box art) shows Baby Wario riding a Light Blue Yoshi.
 * Baby Wario, Baby Yoshi and Baby Bowser were the only babies who did not appear in Super Mario Sluggers
 * Interestingly, adult Wario uses a magnet as one of his abilities in Mario Super Sluggers that could very well be the same one he used as a baby. Meaning that Wario has kept the said magnet ever since his childhood.
