Page 52.</ref>, is a transformation in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. It involves Wario running frantically around an area as fire gradually engulfs him, eventually turning him into a flame that can defeat enemies and destroy certain blocks on contact.

When hit only by a [[Flame (Wario Land II)|Flame]] enemy, a [[Flame (Wario Land 3)|flame]] torch, a [[Fire Robota]], a [[Snake (Wario Land 3)|snake]]'s fiery breath, the [[Sun (Wario Land 3)|sun]]'s fireballs, a [[Kaentsubo]], or the flames from a [[Pig Head Statue]] or [[Aerodent]], Wario will comically start racing around with his overalls on fire. In this state, he cannot be controlled, except for jumping. In ''Wario Land II'' only, he jumps higher when pressing up on {{button|gb|pad}}. After either an amount of time has passed (in ''Wario Land II'' and ''Wario Land 3'') or Wario bounds off a wall or other unbreakable object three times (''Wario Land 4'' and ''Wario Land: Shake It!''), the flames will spread across his entire body, making him essentially a living [[fireball]]. He can now be fully controlled (although slowed down a bit and no longer able to jump) and can destroy [[Bonfire Block]]s. In ''Wario Land II'', the fireball does not stop moving, making it less controllable than in the later games where the form stands still if the player is not pressing a direction on the control pad. The state can be cured by falling into water or just waiting until he burns out. [[Ball o' String Wario]] combines this ability with [[Snowman Wario]].

Flaming Wario is one of three Wario transformations appearing in ''[[Densetsu no Stafy 3]]'', along with [[Bubble Wario]] and [[Puffy Wario]] in Wario's [[Wario#Densetsu no Stafy 3|cameo appearance]] in [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Kaitei Iseki]].
