Captain Syrup surpasses Mario as Wario's greatest nemesis, appearing in various ''Wario Land'' games where she measures up to him in terms of both wit and greed. Captain Syrup has called him "handsome" in her latest appearance in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', although it is most likely sarcastic. Wario is also on bad terms with Bowser, mercilessly taunting each other in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and possibly sharing some rivalry, as shown in the opening movie of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. While they teamed up in ''Mario Power Tennis'' against the Mario Bros., this is the exception rather than the norm, with Wario helping to defeat Bowser in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', and Bowser stopping Wario from taking Mario down in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' out of a desire to finish their mutual foe off himself. | Captain Syrup surpasses Mario as Wario's greatest nemesis, appearing in various ''Wario Land'' games where she measures up to him in terms of both wit and greed.

While Wario and Waluigi sometimes bicker, their relationship overall seems to be a positive one, with them sharing good chemistry in the baseball games and often teaming up in sports events and spinoff titles. The two share many aspects of their personalities and even looks, although the exact relationship between Wario and Waluigi is somewhat ambiguous. Certain Nintendo of Europe sources such as [[Wario's Warehouse]]<ref>[[Talk:Wario's Warehouse|Wario (in first-person writing) refers to Waluigi as his brother in at least two entries.]]</ref> or the ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' website<ref>"''Wario's weird sibling constructed this high-speed track inside a giant pinball table; complete with bumpers, flippers, ramps and enormous steel spheres that bounce you around like - well, like a pinball. Make sure to bring plenty of aspirin for this race.''" - [[Waluigi Pinball (Mario Kart DS)|Waluigi Pinball]] description, [http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/mariokartds/ European ''Mario Kart DS'' website]</ref> suggest that they are siblings, but the DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' contradicts this idea by stating that they are instead cousins under trivia notes.{{ref needed}} Waluigi's trophies in both ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' indicate that their relationship is intended to be unclear; Wario merely calls Waluigi his "traitor friend" when the two were briefly in opposition in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', and Charles Martinet, who voices both characters, has stated his belief that they are simply "two evil guys who found each other". | While Wario and Waluigi sometimes bicker, their relationship overall seems to be a positive one, with them sharing good chemistry in the baseball games and often teaming up in sports events and spinoff titles.

In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', both [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Chief Chilly]] view Wario's mustache as "worthy" to challenge theirs, while insulting Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi about their mustaches (despite the last not having one). Throughout both battles, the two characters do not berate Wario as much as they did to the other heroes, but still treat him as an enemy of Bowser. | In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', both [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Chief Chilly]] view Wario's mustache as "worthy" to challenge theirs, while insulting Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi about their mustaches (despite the last not having one).

Wario also has had acquaintance with Donkey Kong. In ''Mario Party'', they are shown doing poses and both specialize in strength. In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', they are on the same team. DK even tries to give Wario a fist bump for the latter's home run, only to unintentionally pound Wario into the ground. Often, Wario has the same demeanor with Donkey Kong as he does with everyone else, but to some degree sees him as a powerful asset on his side. | Wario also has had acquaintance with Donkey Kong.
