''This is [[Yōsei no Mori]]. Within these woods lives a sprite, and those who meet it find happiness, or so the tale goes. One day, [[Mario]] came to the woods to confirm the legend. [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Yoshi]] should have been together with [[Luigi]]......but alas, the visage of Luigi was missing. Mario's group of three have separated to find lost little Luigi.''
''This is [[Yōsei no Mori]]. Within the forest's depths lives a fairy, and those who behold it find happiness, as the tale goes. One day, [[Mario]] sought the fabled fairy by coming to the forest. [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Luigi]] were together......or should have been, but alas, Luigi's visage was unseen. Mario's group of three had decided to look for lost little Luigi.''


''At once, the suspicious sound of an engine was in the air. I wonder what it could be? It was [[Wario]] riding his personal plane, the [[Bulldog]], and it dropped a [[bucket]] from the sky.''
''Then, the sky was overcome with a suspicious engine's sound. What was that? It was [[Wario]] riding his personal plane, the [[Bulldog]], and he threw a [[bucket]] from the sky.''


''"Whew, woosh!"''
''"Here you go!"''


''And suddenly, the bucket was a snug fit on Mario's head.''
''Uh oh, the bucket landed right over Mario's head.''


''"Uwagh, I can't see in this thing!"''
''"Uwagh, I can't see in this thing!"''


''The sprite of the woods, [[Wanda]], witnessed it. The petite pixie did not have the strength to remove the bucket on her own, but she desired to help somehow. Thus, Wanda sends Mario a signal with her [[magic wand]], determined to reunite him with Luigi......''
''Watching was the forest's fairy, [[Wanda]]. She somehow wanted to help, but the small fairy did not have the ability to remove the bucket. Thus, Wanda decided to use her [[magic wand]] on Mario to send signals, guiding him to Luigi......''

The main gameplay involves guiding [[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], or [[Yoshi]] to the goal, where [[Luigi]] awaits. The player can select one of the original eight stages at the start. Once they are cleared, the final stages become available. At the beginning of every stage except EXTRA, [[Wario]] drops a random item on the character's head, making them unable to see where they're going.

===[[EXTRA]]===
After Game Freak's successful collaboration with Nintendo on ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', Nintendo president [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]] requested Game Freak to develop a new game that would make use of the [[Super Scope]] accessory<ref name="Akihito Tomisawa's twitter">[https://twitter.com/hitoqui_ponko/status/1632780947337904128 そこに、『マリオとワリオ』なんてさ、最初は山内社長から「今度うちが出すスーパースコープ用のゲームを作れ！」って指令から始まったプロジェクトだからね。で、田尻社長とおれが延々アイデアを練って、社長がある日「グレムリンだ！」ってひらめいて、→] (March 6, 2023).

As ''Yoshi'' was a big commercial success but was not a self-owned property, there was a desire internally at Game Freak to develop titles using the company's own characters<ref>[https://twitter.com/hitoqui_ponko/status/1632779638501179392 前段として『ヨッシーのたまご』があって、あれは300万本のスマッシュヒットになったけど、自社のキャラではない。その後、元はオリジナルとして作っていたゲームが『マリオとワリオ』になり、大ヒットもした。そこに唯一ゲームフリークのオリジナルキャラである「ワンダ」ちゃんがいた。→] (March 6, 2023).

''Twitter''. Retrieved on April 7, 2023.</ref>. After brainstorming with employee Akihito Tomisawa, Game Freak president Satori Tajiri settled on the idea of making a horror-themed game inspired by ''{{wp|Gremlins}}<ref name="Akihito Tomisawa's twitter"></ref>.
An extra stage revealed once beating all ten stages. It is a very difficult world.


==Items & Obstacles==
The original concept was that the player would attempt to capture a monster living inside a "western-style building" by firing a net with the Super Scope and capture it with a trigger. Though a prototype was produced and the project was coming along smoothly, it had become obvious the Super Scope was a commercial failure so the game was retooled to use the more recent Super NES Mouse<ref>[https://twitter.com/hitoqui_ponko/status/1632781588391141376 洋館に住み着いた謎のモンスターをバズーカで網を発射してキャプチャーし、トリガーで捕獲するっていうゲームにした。試作もしてけっこういい感じになってきたんだけど、バズーカが全然売れないので、任天堂はマウスを出してきた。→] (March 6, 2023). ''Twitter''. Retrieved on April 7, 2023.</ref>. The concept shifted to guiding a character inside a maze using the mouse<ref>[https://twitter.com/hitoqui_ponko/status/1632782301859045376 それで、グレムリン系のゲームをマウス（ポインティングデバイスという点では構造は一緒）向けに改良する過程で、迷路内を動くキャラをマウスで誘導するゲームになっていった。] (March 6, 2023). ''Twitter''. Retrieved on April 7, 2023.</ref>. Eventually, Nintendo suggested to include Nintendo characters in the game, a suggestion Game Freak agreed to as they thought it would make the game sell better. However, at the last minute, Game Freak requested to keep a character created for the earlier versions of the game, Wanda (designed by artist [[bulbapedia:Ken Sugimori|Ken Sugimori]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/hitoqui_ponko/status/1632782982758166528 そこに、任天堂サイドから「どうせなら任天堂のキャラを載せようや」という提案があり、僕らもその方がどう考えても売れるので承諾してマリオとワリオになった。でもギリギリでワンダちゃん（杉森建のオリジナルキャラ）を残してもらった.] (March 6, 2023).

*''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star Ultra|Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'': One of the [[wikirby:Treasure|treasure]]s that can be obtained in the [[wikirby:Crystal (area)|Crystal]] area of the [[wikirby:The Great Cave Offensive|The Great Cave Offensive]] main game is a Bucket almost identical to the one in ''Mario & Wario''. However, the "M" in the Bucket is orange instead of purple.
*[[Star (Mario & Wario)|Star]] - The most common item in the game. Collect four of them in a level to earn an [[extra life]].
*''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'': In chapter 8, Wario attacks with buckets.

==Trivia==
[[File:MarioNWarioPKMN.png|thumb|right]]
*There was a mention of this game in ''[[List of Mario references in video games#Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow (GB)|Generation I Pokémon games]]''. When the player checks the Super Nintendo in the Copycat's House (at [[bulbapedia:Saffron City|Saffron City]], northwest of the [[bulbapedia:Silph Co.|Silph Co.]] building), it states that there is a game that shows Mario with a bucket on his head. The games were made by [[Game Freak]].
*A reference to ''Mario & Wario'' is made in ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', where Wario attacks with buckets.
*The bucket Mario wore on his head is a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It mentions that "the bucket's M looks like a W when turned upside down".
*One of [[Junker]]'s attacks in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is dropping a bucket on [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]'s heads and they walk back and forth, using a similar animation to the ones in this game.
*Karakara Sabaku was revisited in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and the [[Mario Kart series|''Mario Kart'' series]], localized as both Dry Dry Desert and Kalimari Desert in English.
*Although a Japan-only release, the game itself contains no written Japanese whatsoever; it is entirely in English.
