In ''Wario Land 3'', Vampire Wario can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Kobatto]], causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact which can be used to get foes blocking Wario's path such as [[Lump|Prince Froggy]]. He is also able to float over and jump from the surface of water. By pressing {{button|gbc|B}} on the ground, he can become [[Bat Wario|Bat-Wario]], who is capable of flight, but is smaller and can only slowly make fluttering leaps while on the ground rather than walking. To turn back to his normal self, he must touch a head of [[garlic]], go into a patch of light, or touch a droplet of water (similar to [[Zombie Wario]]), meaning that if Vampire Wario is required in another part of the level, the aforementioned objects are basically obstacles. Vampire Wario cannot cross waterfalls, unlike normal Wario.
