Wario is one of Mario's rivals. His name is a portmanteau of Mario and the Japanese word warui meaning bad or evil. He amuses himself with gross humour such as farting and picking his nose. Wario has made several appearances in Mario games as well as having two of his own series Wario Land and WarioWare. Wario has appeared as a playable character in all of the cross-overs between the Mario and Sonic series. Throughout these cross-overs, Wario has seemed to have found a new rival in Knuckles and a new ally in Doctor Eggman.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Wario appears in Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games as a Power Character. He has the greatest stamina and the lowest skill.

Profile Description

The burly opposite of Mario, Wario is a Power-based athlete, able to hurl objects incredible distances, and his awesome stamina gives him a boost in any long-distance event. He is driven by greed and will undoubtedly love to get his hands on a Gold Medal!

Mission Mode

His six missions in Mission Mode are:

• 100m - Cross the finish line while lunging forward and come in 2nd place!
• 100m Freestyle - Get a 3 note (♪♪♪) rating 5 times when restoring stamina!
• Shooting - Hit 2 targets at the same time twice!
• Dream Long Jump - Pass through 10 rings!
• Dream Race - Collect all item boxes!
• Final - (Pursuit) Beat Knuckles when he's in top condition!

Since Knuckles is Wario's final mission opponent, and they are both power characters, they are believed to be competitive rivals.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Wario is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, sporting 2 different costumes and a variety of zaniness. He takes on the role of a villain in the Subspace Emissary, but ends up joining the rest of the fighters in the end. Wario is slow, but very strong and powerful. Like Sonic, Wario was a fan picked favorite to be added to the Smash Bros. cast. The official Brawl website states "Many fans clamored for Wario to join the fray, and so now he finally makes his appearance... in his WarioWare costume."

Special Moves

• Standard - Chomp

Attack by chewing. You can also eat items this way.

• Side - Wario Bike

Steer with the Control Stick and get off by pressing the A Button. If you wipe out, get near your bike and hop back on.

• Down - Wario Waft

Punish foes with a fart. Don't use it for a while to charge the fart's power.

• Up - Corkscrew

Attack opponents while rising upwards. An excellent recovery move.

• Final Smash: Wario-Man

Take a big bite of garlic and transform. He still uses normal attacks in this form but his speed increases dramatically. Stay airborne by using midair attacks.

Trophy

"Mario's self-styled rival. He loves money and gross humor. He often sets out in search of hidden treasure. His bold moves come from his superhuman strength and are completely different from Mario's moves. Aside from adventuring, he's also the chairman of game maker WarioWare, Inc. Its franchise game is WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania/Mega Microgame$".

Games:

• Gameboy- Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden coins.
• Game Boy Advance- WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania/Mega Microgame$

The trophy is obtainable by completing Classic Mode with Wario and is Wario-Man trophy is obtainable by clearing All-Star with Wario.

The Wario Bike trophy comes at random so there is no possible way to obtain it undoubtedly. Usually, the best method of obtaining the Wario Bike Trophy is via Coin Launcher.

Appearance in the SubSpace Emissary

Wario made a significant appearance in the SubSpace Emissary. First he turned either Peach or Zelda (depending on how the previous level was played) into a trophy then put her in his hovercar and zoomed off with her. Next, he turned Ness into a trophy. It was Lucas he was aiming at but Ness knocked him out of the way and took the shot. Then, King Dedede trophicated Luigi but when Wario put Luigi in his hovercar and tried to set off, King Dedede knocked him out of the hovercar and flew away in Wario's hovercar. Wario's next appearance was when he himself was turned into a trophy by Lucas and Pokemon Trainer in a brawl for revenge on Ness. When Lucas and the Pokemon Trainer defeated Galleom, Galleom set off a SubSpace Bomb sucking Wario into SubSpace. Wario didn't appear again until King Dedede, Luigi and Ness revived him in SubSpace as they needed all the help they could get to defeat Tabuu. Ness, Luigi and Dedede then walked to Tabuu's maze while Wario lazily drove there on his bike. Wario then joined the team for the final level, The Great Maze.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Wario returns in the sequel to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. He is once again a power character. In most racing events Wario can use his signature Wario Waft to give himself a speed boost. Wario has a very high speed level in the Wii version of this game, however in the Nintendo DS version, his speed is average and his stamina is notably high. Like all playable characters, once Wario has won 5 gold medals, his costume becomes available in the boutique for purchase of 300 coins. Once purchased, his costume can be worn by any Mii.

Wario could be spotted in the teaser trailer, snowboarding against, Mario, Sonic and Dr. Eggman. In the CG opening of the game, Wario plots with Dr. Eggman to try and grab Mario and Sonic, but their plan is quickly thwarted by the mascot duo.

Profile info

"Wario considers himself Mario's adversary, and has been causing Mario a headache for quite some time. Selfish and greedy, Wario always ends up somehow doing good deeds to get what he wants. Wario is a veteran to the Olympic Games and comes to Vancouver and Whistler ready to compete for gold. Be sure not to get in the way of his signature Wario Waft technique on the Wii, and Wario Waft jump or Wario Waft boost on the Nintendo DS." ^[2]
