Wario is Mario's yellow-and-purple clad rival. He made his first appearance in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

Wario is a greedy character who is constantly trying to gather money, or reclaim it from thieves who take it from him. Over the years he has faced many foes, including Mad Scienstein, Rudy, Captain Syrup, and the Black Jewel. He also has the WarioWare series, which include Wario and his friends playing several "micro games". Wario also frequently pops up in the Mario Party series and Mario sports games. He appeared as an unlockable in Mario Golf: Advance Tour. He stands as one of Nintendo's most popular characters.


Biography

Although he was not present in Super Mario Land, Wario played a huge "behind the scenes" role. As was revealed in the sequel, Wario hired alien Tatanga to kidnap Princess Daisy, ruler of Sarasaland. While Mario rescued Daisy, Wario took control of Mario's castle. The plot of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins was to defeat Wario and reclaim the castle.

Wario instantly rose in popularity, appearing again in other NES games, and his own Game Boy titles, such as Wario Land.He was finally added to the Mario sports franchise, stealing a Koopa Troopa's place in Mario Kart 64. Since then, Wario's appeared in almost every Mario Sport game that has come out. He went on to appear in every Mario sports game since, and got a partner in crime, Waluigi, in Mario Tennis.

Waluigi is mostly thought of as Wario's brother or come type of relationship around there. It hasn't been canocly proven, but some sources (ex. The Mario Party 5 strategy guide) state that they aren't.

There is a baby version of Wario, Baby Wario, whose presence in the Marioverse proves that Mario and Wario go way back. He has a magnet ability which is a very good asset and is used exclusively by him. He shares different abilities in this game with Baby Mario and Baby Bowser alike.

Wario Soon built his own software company. It was called WarioWare. he took a vacation from his yellow plumber outfit and put on a biker style uniform. He has numerous friends working for him there, which includes his possible love interest, Mona.

Wario will be appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the upcoming Nintendo Wii, wearing his Ware costume. He may have a unique mushroom gas attack.

Physical Appearance and Traits

According to the Wario World instruction manual, Wario is at 308 pounds, although he claims it's just his clothes ("I like to layer!"). He has a black moustache and impressive, muscular arms despite his weight problem. He commonly wears purple overalls over a yellow shirt with green, elf-like shoes and a yellow hat.

Wario is prone to outbursts of anger, especially when he doesn't get his way. He has unhygienic habits, such as nose picking, and it's clear that the person he cares most about is himself, and money.

Powers and Abilities

Wario is commonly associated with explosives, including Bob-ombs, and ways of stealing coins, such as a magnet or even a large vacuum.

Wario antagonized Mario, Princess Peach, and Yoshi in Mario and Wario, where he would drop a makeshift helmet, such as a bucket or even an octopus, on their head. The nice fairy Wanda guided the three to prevent them from encountering peril.

Wario's greatest strengh, though, is with items, such as pots, which give him amazing strength and other abilities. They're in Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land and appear all over Kitchen Island. With the Garlic Pot, Jet Pot, Bull Pot, or Dragon Pot, Wario can get to areas otherwise unreachable.

In Wario World, Wario could perform many spinning moves, including the Spinning Piledriver, Corkscrew Conk, and Wild Swing-Ding.

Strangely, unlike Waluigi, Luigi, and Mario, Wario's outfit is minorly different. Wario has cut off his long sleeves he had in Mario Party's 1 - 5 and various sports games. He sports the short sleeve shirt he has in the Wario Land games. It's also noted that Wario's color's don't compute with the other three plumbers. His Car is purple instead of his hat color, yellow. he has a white streak on the rim of his yellow hat and instead of Yellow buttons he has white also.

Games

After his first appearance, Wario appeared in other NES and SNES games, including Wario's Woods, where Toad, Wanda, and Birdo set out into Wario's Woods to stop the monsters coming out of the woods.

Wario got many WarioWare and Wario Land games devoted to him on the Nintendo handheld systems.

"According to Wario, he's both Mario's rival and a childhood friend (this is unconfirmed). He actually runs his own video-game company and has produced many hot sellers. Garlic is Wario's favorite food. It may lead to his incredible stamina, which makes him excellent at daring plays."
