Wario

Wario is an obese, short, hot-tempered, 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.

Biography
♥♥WARIO IS SEXY♥♥

A Star Child
In Yoshi's Island DS, Wario appeared in his baby form for the first 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 with 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. Although Baby Wario appeared in the game, it was not disclosed where he was born. One can assume Italy.

Taking Mario's Castle
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.

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.

Wario fought hard to remain in control of his castle. He stomped the floor to make the lights from above crush Mario. However, Mario avoided this, so Wario knew he had to use a Carrot to become Rabbit Wario. With his rabbit powers, not only did he try to crush Mario with falling lights, but also with his own body. After even this failed, Wario used his last resort, a Fire Flower. Becoming Fire Wario, he abandoned the strategy of crushing Mario and instead decided to fry him. However, the red plumber's might prevailed in the end, and Wario retreated to whence came.

The Wario Buckets
Wario tried to have his revenge in Mario & 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 a fight with the heroes once more.

Storming 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.

''Wario Blast
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 urge to see to the complete decimation of Planet Bomber as well. Wario 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. The armies of Wario awaited Bomberman without fail, and almost lead to his victory. Tragically for Wario, he was on the loosing streak once more, and lost his treasure and the world he worked so hard to overrun to Bomberman himself.



Villain Now Hero?
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 Captain Syrup. However, to Wario's surprise, Syrup is revealed as 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 genie, grateful from being set free from Syrup, gives Wario his own pad based on how much treasure he has collected through the game.

Adventure in the Awazon
During his vacation in Virtual Boy Wario Land, Wario landed his plane, Bulldog, next to the Aldegara Waterfall. Wario then spots some strange creatures entering the falls. Discovering a huge amount of treasure behind the falls, Wario is about to steal it all, but the is swallowed up by the Earth. Wario vows to get his revenge on the creatures and steal their treasure.

Another Misadventure
Soon after the events of Virtual Boy 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 did away with her once and for all.

Wario and the Music Box
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 as the horrific 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.

Pyramid Puzzles
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.

The Bad Jewel
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, which 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.

''WarioWare, Inc.
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.

''WarioWare: Twisted
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 were no buttons, on his GBA, puzzling Wario. 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 Star Search
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. On the official Nintendo DS site it states the he is allying with Mario to get Princess Peach's treasure.

''WarioWare: Touched!
In WarioWare: Touched! he steals two Game Boy systems, but drops them into a sewer. The old Sewer Guru 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.

''WarioWare: Smooth Moves
In Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Wario is gorging himself on cakes when he is interrupted by a small, strange creature called Splunk which steals them from him. Wario gives chase, and the Splunk 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, after watching TV one day he sees a show called The Silver Zephyr. It is about Count Cannoli, a famous thief, and Wario becomes jealous of the Count's skill. Wario then comes up with a "brilliant idea". Wario invents the Telmet to get onto a television show.

Wario's invention works and he lands on Count Cannoli. Cannoli drops his talking wand, Goodstyle. Wario steals the wand and Wario comes up with a thief name: Purple Wind. Goodstyle 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 Wishstone, 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.

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 1-5 his sleeves are long, but in the rest, they are short. 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. He 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.

After a long time of speculation, Wario was finally confirmed to be in the crossover game, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. His character type is Power. Wario's partner, Waluigi, will also be playable in this game.

Super Smash Bros. Series
In all of the Super Smash Bros. games, Wario's colors were an alternate costume of Mario's - the purple overalls, yellow shirt and cap, green shoes, etc. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Wario was featured as a trophy. Finally, though, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl he appears as a playable character available from the start. His standard costume design is his outfit that he is seen in during the WarioWare series; however, unlike the other characters, he can also appear in his classic overalls (which have been given an intricate detailing similar to Mario's) depending on the player's preference.

Wario's Final Smash is Wario-Man, which transforms him into his superhero counterpart. However, rather than an actual attack, the transformation will power up Wario, which causes his attacks to deal more damage. As such, it could be considered a less extreme version of the Giga Bowser Transformation. All of his attacks are much stronger, and Wario can also run much faster. Like Donkey Kong and Yoshi, Wario has his own distinct emblem (the W on his cap) as opposed to being classified under the Mario characters.

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

 * Snake: This guy kind of gives me the creeps.
 * Colonel: That's Wario, Snake. Wario first appeared as Mario's rival, but he really made his name in the WarioWare games. Watch out for Wario's bite. It's not just damage you take from it.
 * Snake: What do you mean, Colonel?
 * Colonel: Wario loves garlic. He eats whole cloves of it day and night. So try not to get caught in his mouth. Once that smell gets on you, it'll stick to you for quite a while.
 * Snake: ...That's a scary thought.
 * Colonel: He also attacks by farting. He can fart to fly around, too.
 * Snake: By farting?! Are you kidding me?!
 * Colonel: Sadly, no. I am not kidding. If his belly starts to bulge, watch out.

Role in The Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary, he apparently joins the Subspace Emissary however he is never seen with Bowser or Ganondorf or even the Ancient Minister. Early in the game, he shoots the princess that Kirby wasn't able to save from Petey Piranha, with his large black gun. He runs off with the trophy of the princess. He and the princess of the trophy are able to escape from the explosion of the Subspace Bomb. Later, at the zoo, he attempts on shooting Ness various times but fails. He then aims for Lucas but Ness decides to save Lucas and Ness then is shot and ends up becoming a trophy. Wario then grabs the trophy, as Lucas runs away scared. Later, he is traveling with a yellow hover car with the two trophies he currently has. In the middle of the road, he finds a Luigi trophy which he decides to take.

However, as soon as he touches it, Waddle Dees come from everywhere and attack him. They take the Luigi trophy from him, and King Dedede steals Wario's car. Wario then grows mad and yells "HEY!" but King Dedede leaves with all three trophies. Later, Wario fights Pokemon Trainer and Lucas in a desert. However, this time, Lucas beats Wario and Wario is turned into a trophy. The two leave the Wario trophy lying on the ground. After the Subspace Bomb explodes, the explosion sucks the Wario trophy inside. Somehow, Wario finds his way to the Final Destination where he is turned back to life by Luigi, Dedede and Ness. he then decides to fight Tabuu.

Dancing His Way to Defeat
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.

Cartoons
In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Plumbers Academy", an unnamed, overweight plumber wearing yellow and purple can be seen as a classmate of Mario and Luigi; this character's similarity to Wario is probably coincidental, as Wario's debut came three years after The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was produced.

Publications
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 Troopa 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.

Wario is also the main character in the German Club Nintendo comic "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen", an adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Wario, who is the owner of a bomb shop, coldheartedly fires his clerk. In the following night, several ghosts visit him to tell him what he has done wrong. In the end, Wario decides to become a better man and spends the holidays together with Mario and his friends.

Wario also has an action figure from the Mario Kart toy franchise, plus several of other objects such as keychains and Happy Meal toys.

Physical Appearance and Traits
According to the Wario World instruction manual, Wario weighs 308 pounds, although he claims it's just his clothes ("I like to layer!"). He has a black mustache and impressive, muscular arms despite his weight problem. He commonly wears tight purple overalls 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 what he cares most about is himself, and money.

His shoes and pointed ears make him looks uncannily like an elf. Also, his colors (yellow and purple) are complementary colors in the color wheel, suggesting Wario's imbalance.

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 had in the Wario Land series games.

It's also noted that Wario's colors don't compute with the other plumbers who wear similar outfits- Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi. He has a white streak on the rim of his yellow hat, and has white buttons instead of the usual yellow. Additionally, the W on his cap sticks out of the white spot it is displayed on.

Wario's clothing also breaks the palette-swap color scheme in place from Mario and Luigi. Mario and Luigi have the same colored pants, with their signature colors being opposites (red and green). With Wario and Waluigi, while the signature colors are still oppsites (yellow and purple), their pants are not matching colors.

Wario is considered scary to most of the Toads (though not as scary as Bowser), as revealed in Super Mario 64 DS.

Powers and Abilities
Since Wario is human, his powers are not extremely wondrous and fantastic (then again, he is a Star Child). 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 the Garlic Pot, Jet Pot, Bull Pot, and Dragon Pot, which give him amazing and unique transformations. Wario has other various ways in transformings, resulting in transformations such as Crazy Wario, Flat Wario, Fat Wario, Frozen Wario, Electric Wario, and many more.

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. He also constructed the Mario Kart 64 race track Wario Stadium. 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 braggart and a sore loser, even going as far as to claim that somebody is cheating when he loses.

Character Development
Wario was created by Gunpei Yokoi and designed by Hiroji Kiyotake. 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", there are several plumbers that appear. One of the plumbers has a yellow and purple outer-lay that resembles Wario, and never-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 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.

Mario
Mario had a violent rivalry with Wario, which simmered down in the years to follow. Wario and Mario have since had friendly disputes in sports and they have even teamed up in various adventures.

Waluigi
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.

Luigi
Wario and Luigi's relationship seems to be far less violent and troubled than that of Mario and Wario. Luigi rescued Wario from the clutches of Chief Chilly during the events of Super Mario 64 DS and Wario and Luigi have been seen chatting in various cutscenes in several spinoff games.

Princess Peach
Although Princess Peach is not necessarily a close friend of Wario, he has aided in her rescue during the events of Super Mario 64 DS (although not necessarily by choice). He also appeared to show feelings for her during the course of Mario Superstar Baseball.

Other Relationships
King Boo and Petey Piranha have both seen action time with him also, appearing on his default challenge baseball team in Mario Superstar Baseball. 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.

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."

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
''An old acquaintance of Mario's. His failure to seize Mario's castle has fueled Wario's desire for a palace of his own. Wario has Herculean strength and can do things even Mario can't imitate. His unexpected skills include a talent with items and the ability to assume many roles, among them a snowman, a zombie, and a bat.''

Wario
''Mario's self-styled rival. He loves money and gross humor. He often sets out in search of hidden treasure. His bold moves come from his superhuman strength and are completely different from Mario's moves. Aside from adventuring, he's also the chairman of game maker WarioWare, Inc. Its franchise game is WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$.''

Wario-man
''Wario's Final Smash. He chomps on his favorite food, garlic, and transforms into Wario-man! His mobility goes way up. His attack power doesn't change much, but he scampers like a cockroach, using moves like crazy! He can jump over buildings and use midair attacks to fly. Oh, and he doesn't flinch from attacks. Think twice about bringing out his motorcycle at this time...''

Profile
"The burly opposite of Mario, Wario is a Power-based athlete, able to hurl objects incredible distances, and his awesome stamina gives him a boost in any long-distance event. He is driven by greed and will undoubtedly love to get his hands on a Gold Medal!

Trivia

 * In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the noses and mustaches of Armos Knights resemble Wario's own nose and mustache.
 * Wario seems to be allergic to bees; this is based on his Puffy Wario transformation.
 * Garlic seems to have the same effect on Wario as Mushrooms on Mario.
 * Wario Land II seems to depict Wario as a farmer. He keeps several Chickens outside his castle, including his notable pet Hen. 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.
 * The commercials for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land actually consistently establish Wario as a hypnotist, although he only put hypnotism to use in the former game.
 * According to the Choose Your Own Adventure book Warioland 4, Wario hates sand.
 * Wario owns a pharmacy, or so it may seem. In Mario Kart: Double Dash! there is a building in Mushroom City saying "Wario Pharmacy".
 * Wario's number in Super Mario Strikers is 00.
 * Wario was one of the lowest classes in Nintendo Monopoly, along with Waluigi. He replaced Baltic Avenue, and cost $60.
 * Two men resembling Wario and Waluigi can be found in an episode of the TV show "My Life as a Teenage Robot" as the main villians trying to blow up the city dam.
