Wario (ワリオ, Wario^?) is a fictional Nintendo video game character created by Gunpei Yokoi^[1]. Wario was designed as an antagonist to Mario, and first appeared in the 1992 handheld video game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the main villain and final boss. Since that time, Wario has developed into the protagonist and antihero of his own video game franchise spanning both handheld and console markets, in addition to his numerous appearances in spin-offs of the Mario series. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices the Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi characters. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

As Wario is Mario's evil doppelgänger, his personality and actions are often the opposites of Mario's typical heroism and kindness, just as the first letters in their names appear to be opposites. The name "Wario" is a blending of Mario's name with the Japanese adjective warui (悪い) meaning "bad"; hence, a "bad Mario".^{[citation needed]} The letter W also resembles an upside-down M, which is recognized by many as a naming correlation.

Characteristics

Personality

In his games, he has several negative characteristics, among them laziness, ruthlessness, and gluttony,^[2] unlike Mario, who is portrayed as kind and heroic. One of his most recognizable traits is arguably his greed, as he is often portrayed as being unscrupulous when opportunities arise to gain wealth, whether they are good or bad. Despite Wario's negative personality and character, he has played the role of an anti-hero or neutral character in almost every game that he has appeared in since Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 with the exception of Super Smash Bros Brawl in which he fought alongside Bowser and Ganondorf only to aid the player during the final fight against Tabuu, (although he spent the previous half of the game trying to imprison the rest of the game's cast in trophy form). He has been cast as a hero when fighting others who are more villainous, which in turn has made his personal and moral flaws seem smaller, such as when he is victimized by the Black Jewel in Wario World.^[3] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Wario is designed as an doppelgänger of Mario's. His fierce competitiveness is fueled by an intense jealousy of Mario the plumber,^[4] but even though he originally was a rival of Mario's (as shown in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and several subsequent games), Wario has since then become something of an ally of Mario's, like when he teams up with Yoshi, Mario and Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS to defeat Bowser, although their alliance is still quite fragile. According to a comic published in Nintendo Power, Wario will always hate Mario because when they were both younger, Mario, playful and vaguely oblivious, inadvertently bullied Wario; in the comic, Wario was stuck picking Piranha Plants that would attack him while Mario picked turnips, Wario ends up getting flattened by Thwomps while attempting to flatten coins with Mario. When the two finally reunite as adults, Mario innocently invites Wario to play again, cementing Wario's hatred of him. For other uses, see Doppelgänger (disambiguation). ...

Friends/Allies

In his first many appearances as a character, Wario is never shown to have any friends. However, since his appearance in Mario Tennis, Wario has been paired with Waluigi, Wario's undetermined friend who is designed as the opposite of Luigi. In the regular Mario games, he still seems to have very few friends, and only has chemistry with Waluigi and Boo in Mario Superstar Baseball.^[5] But with the introduction of the WarioWare series, he appears to have a great many of them, such as Jimmy T. and Mona - the latter of whom appears to have special feelings for him.^[6] Mario Party 6 also implies that he is secretly friends with Toadette.

Physical appearance

Wario is portrayed as an exaggerated version of Mario; he is very corpulent and taller than Mario, has muscular arms, an absurdly large moustache, a bellicose cackle,^[7] and speaks with a more pronounced Italian accent,^[8] provided by Charles Martinet. Stylistically, he is similar to cartoon villains such as Snidely Whiplash and Dick Dastardly. Traditionally, Wario wears a plumber outfit similar to Mario's, although with some differences. Mario's outfit is red and blue, with brown shoes and an M on his cap, while Wario's is yellow and purple, with curly-toed green shoes and a W on his cap. However, the release of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ saw Wario wearing motorcycling gear, with a yellow-and-red helmet emblazoned with the letter W, aviator goggles, yellow fingerless gloves also emblazoned with a W, a torn light-blue denim vest over a dark-blue shirt, and pink pants. One of his main abilities is his great strength, which he uses to overpower enemies far larger than himself. From Wario Land 2 and onward Wario has the ability to take advantage of physical status effects, such as being set on fire or flattened.^[9] Edgar Allan Poe grew a moustache later in his life. ...

In Wario Land 4 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it is shown that Wario owns a purple convertible, loosely resembling a 1960s Cadillac, dubbed the Wario Car (or named "Brute" in Mario Kart DS, although in that game the car is black with a checkered design). The Wario Car also makes a number of cameo appearances in the WarioWare titles, both in minigames and cutscenes. According to the trophy section of one Mario Party game, Wario's car was designed for him by fellow WarioWare series character Dr. Crygor. Wario also possesses a motorcycle, which features prominently alongside him in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. One of the most distinctive features of the car is that its hood ornament is shaped identically to Wario's mustache.

Furthermore, Wario has poor hygiene. This can be revealed by talking to one of the Toads as Wario in Super Mario 64 DS and going to World 3-5 for the first time in Yoshi's Island DS Also, he has had a crush on Princess Peach in earlier games such as Wario Land and Super Mario Land 2.^[10] Wario is incredibly fond of eating garlic, which is often used as a power-up in several of his games and acting as an answer to Mario's Super Mushrooms, and as a result many games depict his breath as foul-smelling. A Super Mushroom as seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! The Super Mushroom is a power-up from the Mario series of video games. ...

Recently, with the onset of games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Strikers: Charged, Wario has been depicted using explosive flatulence as a weapon against his opponents. However, some fans feel that this sudden induction of extremely crude humor as a staple character trait has made him a less appealing character, as prior to WarioWare: Smooth Moves (the first game of his to depict him using flatulence jokes), bodily functions have never been depicted as a special "ability" of his.

Wario Land series

The first in the series, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, marked Wario's first appearance as a protagonist and introduced his first villains as antagonists, Captain Syrup and her Brown Sugar Pirates. Wario discovers that the Brown Sugar Pirates have stolen a gigantic statue of Princess Peach, made of pure gold, from Mario and that he is looking for it. Wario then decides to take advantage of this and steal it from Captain Syrup before Mario can retrieve it. However, all his hard work is lost when, just as the castle built around the statue crumbles, Mario comes by in a helicopter and uses a powerful magnet to airlift the statue, waving and smiling obliviously at Wario on his way out. On the other hand, the genie accepts the treasure that Wario has collected throughout the game and builds him a castle in exchange with the size of the castle being proportional to the amount of treasure collected.

The game is also one of the relatively few Wario games to feature limited lives. If Wario loses all his lives, it is game over, and the only one, apart from Virtual Boy Wario Land, where he made use of various hats to get special powers in much the same way as Mario subsequently did in Super Mario 64,^[9] For other uses, see Game Over (disambiguation). ...

Wario set ablaze in Wario Land 3

Wario Land II was released in March 1998 for the Game Boy and a year later for the new Game Boy Color, thereby being the first game to feature Wario in color. The story continues the rivalry between Wario and Captain Syrup, who has a new team named the Black Sugar Gang. Captain Syrup and her gang loot Wario's castle, and Wario subsequently chases them to their lair on Kitchen Island to retrieve his treasure. After defeating Captain Syrup and the Giant Spear King, Wario recovers his treasure and returns home.

Unlike the first two games, in Wario Land II Wario's abilities are gained through status effects. For example, he can be set on fire by the fire from a candle, allowing him to be set on fire and run uncontrollably in one direction until he bursts in flames, which in turn allows him to burn through certain objects.

Instead of having a life meter as in some of his other games, Wario loses coins when he takes damage, and in the event that he runs out of coins, he still cannot die — basically making him invincible.^[9] Wario Land II also featured secret exits in its levels, which allowed the player to experience alternate boss battles and endings. There are five end boss battles and one more battle before the player can experience the actual ending.

In Wario Land 3, also for the Game Boy Color, Wario finds himself trapped in a Music Box World, and before he can leave he must help a mysterious figure regain control of this world by defeating a horde of monsters. Only when the figure promises Wario that he can keep all of the treasure he collects along the way does Wario agree to help. This game introduces a new villain, Rudy the Clown, who would later appear in Dr. Mario 64. Unlike past games, Wario is not set on a linear path, and can collect any treasures available to him. He also lacks all of his innate powers (with the exception of jumping and walking), and must find them as he makes progress in the game. Just like Wario Land II, Wario is invincible, and the bosses do work around the common fact that being harmed once ends the battle.

The premise of Wario Land 4 for the Game Boy Advance begins with Wario reading about a treasure-packed golden pyramid deep in the jungle. Wario decides to track down the treasure and travels there in his Wario Car. He must retrieve four pieces of jewelry (each guarded by a boss) in order to get to the final treasure and defeat the Golden Diva (the master of the pyramid who appears throughout the game), who transformed Princess Shokora into a cat. Wario Land 4 sports a 'middle-way' between the classic limited-lives gameplay of the first game, and the invincibility of the two following. Here, Wario has a health meter, and if he loses all health in a level, he loses all the treasure gathered in that level and is ejected back out to the "world map" - instead of losing lives.^[9] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Wario World for the Nintendo GameCube is a departure from typical Wario platforming games in how it plays. It was co-developed by Treasure and Nintendo, and is a 3-D beat-'em-up/platforming video game. Unlike the Wario sidescrollers, Wario World focuses on more heavily on action, although there are still many platform jumping and puzzle-solving sequences. Wario gets his hands on a mystical Black Jewel, which eventually destroys his castle and turns all of his treasure into monsters. Throughout the game, Wario will encounter Sprites trapped in small boxes. Once Wario defeats the Black Jewel, the Spritelings will reward him with a new castle. Depending on how many Spritelings, treasures, and coins Wario finds in each area, he will get one of two castles—if he does not collect enough wealth and Spritelings, he will be given a shack.

Wario, as he appears in Wario: Master of Disguise.

Wario: Master of Disguise showed the return of the Wario Land series, and was released on March 5, 2007 for the Nintendo DS. The game allows Wario to transform into various different forms of himself, each allowing Wario certain abilities. It centers around Wario (A.K.A. The Purple Wind), inventing the Telmet, allowing him to enter a television series revolving around thievery. In this game, Wario is given criminal-like abilities from the get-go as The Purple Wind (Thief Wario), such as unparalleled jumping abilities, similar to those of a cat burglar. Wario also steals a magic wand known as Goodstyle to aid him in his criminal endeavors. The wand is essential for Wario in order for him to don various disguises, such as Cosmic Wario (an astronaut) and Genius Wario (a mad scientist-type disguise). The plot revolves on Wario acquiring the various pieces of the Wishstone, an ancient tablet that supposedly grants the wish of those who behold it, in order for him to gain all the wealth and treasures in the world. As in the latest Wario adventure installments, Wario has a health meter.

WarioWare series

Main article: WarioWare (series)

Wario World marked a break in the series of games featuring Wario going solo in 'classic' treasure hunting. Instead, the franchise shifted focus towards the newly established series of WarioWare games, starting with WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (later remade as WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$ for the GameCube) for the Game Boy Advance.

In this series of games, Wario is the founder of a video game development company, which he founds after seeing a report on a new "killer app" video game titled Pyoro on television. He then hires his friends to help him make his games. In most of the WarioWare titles, after they make the profit from the video games, Wario attempts to run away with all of the profits, but is foiled in the end. Each of the games consists of a number of microgames that last between one and seven seconds. The game spawned several sequels available across all of Nintendo's current consoles and handhelds.

The release of WarioWare: Twisted!, released in 2004 (Japan) and 2005 (North America) for the Game Boy Advance, utilized new features of the Game Boy Advance. In this game, Wario wakes up from a nap on his couch and begins to play a spaceship game on his Game Boy Advance, but he soon crashes into an asteroid and loses. Infuriated, Wario breaks his GBA by throwing it at the floor. Overcome with regret, he takes it to Dr. Crygor, who restores it to a playable condition, though it loses its face buttons and gains a tilt function in the process, which inspires Wario to develop new games based on the tilt function.

In WarioWare: Touched!, which was the first game in the Wario series for the Nintendo DS, Wario is walking down the street after having stolen a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, but trips and drops them into a sewer hole. However, an old man floats up, and asks him if he dropped the GBA systems, or if he dropped the 'fancier one.' Wario states that he wants all of them, and then lunges at the Sewer Guru, causing them both to fall into the sewer. Wario comes out with the fancier system, and has no idea how to play it until he finds the stylus. After winning a game, he decides that this idea would make a ton of money, and goes to get his friends to help out. Near the end, Wario walks down the street and trips near the same sewer hole. The Sewer Guru comes out and smacks him over the head as revenge.

Brawl.^[11] Wario appears in the first trailer in his WarioWare-style biker outfit as opposed to his plumber outfit (although his plumber outfit is available as an alternate costume with its own spectrum of alternate colors) and is shown using the "Wario Bike" and the "Wario Waft", two moves which respectively involve his motorcycle and explosive flatulence. His other two special moves are the "Chomp", where he bites characters and projectiles and either spits them out or, in the case of projectiles, swallow them (though he takes a bit of damage in doing so from consuming explosives), and the "Corkscrew", where he spins in the air.
