'''Wario''' (Japanese: ワリオ, ''Wario'') is a recurring character in the ''Mario'' series. He is an obese, muscular, hot-tempered, and greedy man, and [[Mario]]'s yellow-and-purple clad arch-rival.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Wario's partner is Waluigi. Wario can only ride the heavy karts, so his choices are limited. His default kart is the [[Wario Car]], and the [[Bob-omb]] is his special item. This game introduces [[Wario Colosseum]]; a 2-lap, roller coaster themed track bearing Wario's likeness. This track is known for being incredibly technical and is notable for being the longest track in the game. This would mark the final game that Wario would be seen in long sleeves. | In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Wario's partner is Waluigi.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Wario appears as a starter character, and is the third heaviest character in the game; beating [[Donkey Kong]], while coming behind [[Bowser]] and [[R.O.B.]]. Wario's personal karts are the [[Brute]], a car reminiscent of the Wario Car, the Standard WR, and the [[Dragonfly (kart)|Dragonfly]], a red tractor (possibly a reference to Wario's farming roots in ''Wario Land 2''). As players progress, they can later use Wario on any kart, whether it is standard, or special. [[Wario Stadium (DS)|Wario Stadium]] returns as a playable track, however rather than being a replica of the stadium found in ''Mario Kart 64'', this particular track is a completely new track, although it shares the motocross theme of the previous iteration, bearing dirt roads and death-defying jumps. | [[File:BigBob-OmbMKDS.png|100px|left|King Bob-omb from Mario Kart DS]]. | ||
