Wario

Wario is a recurring character in the Super Mario franchise, designed to be an arch-rival to Mario. He is a muscular, hot-tempered, obese, and greedy character, usually playing the role of an anti-hero or an antagonist; he has also gone on to become the protagonist of his own self-named franchise, the Wario franchise, including games such as the Wario Land series and the WarioWare series.

Wario is often portrayed to be a treasure hunter, who goes on adventures to find treasure and fight monsters. He also owns a microgame company called "WarioWare Inc." in Diamond City. Wario's favourite food is garlic.

He is often seen with his partner in crime Waluigi, and they tend to cause mischief together. </Basic Information> Wario appears as an obese man of short stature, slightly taller than Mario. He has light brown hair, fair skin, muscular arms, and a big pink nose with a zigzag mustache.

His usual outfit consists of a yellow cap with a blue "W" logo on the center, yellow shirt, purple overalls with white buttons, green pigache shoes, and white gloves with "W" logos on them. Wario is extremely greedy and does anything to get money, as shown especially in the Wario Land series and in Wario World. He is also a miser, as he never lets anyone else touch his treasure. Sometimes, his greedy nature even overtakes him and he occasionally loses control of himself, even going as far as to double-cross his friends. Wario's acts of heroism are usually driven by greed, such as defeating the Black Jewel and Shake King to recover his own valuables and obtain a new one, respectively, and rescuing Spritelings so they can rebuild his castle or get treasure for him. In Wario Land: Shake It!, he outright ignores Queen Merelda's gratefulness for rescuing her, tossing her away in favor of immediately going after the nearby treasure. In WarioWare: Get It Together!, he is the most receptive to Prezzies with high monetary value, such as the Piggy Bank and Red Gem.

He is also shown to be childish at times, which is best demonstrated in the ending of Super Mario Land 2, where he proceeds to cry like a baby after being reduced in size, only to punt his shoe at Mario before sticking his tongue out in a taunting manner while taking his leave.

Wario is also incredibly vain. He considers himself to be very good-looking, despite most others describing his face as ugly or downright frightening; Wario is considered scary to most of the Toads (though not as scary as Bowser) and even King Boo, as revealed in Super Mario 64 DS. Wario has constructed various monuments in his likeness, many of which illustrate his wealth, and how he will use his wealth to stroke his vanity. His palace in Wario World was filled with golden statues of himself before its destruction, which reappear in the game's best ending; in Welcome to Greedville, the centerpiece of Wario's hometown is a golden statue of him surrounded by a golden fountain, and in the Modern version of Fire Attack in Game & Watch Gallery 4, Wario is seen defending a giant golden statue of himself. Wario's vanity is perhaps most apparent in the WarioWare titles, where nearly every microgame he makes references him in some way. If he does not fully or partially appear in the microgame himself, then at the very least, his nose and mustache will be placed upon a creature or object, though the player might need to clear or fail certain games to see this.

Wario's official bios and various games he appears in have established that his favorite food is garlic; according to Colonel Roy Campbell in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wario constantly eats whole cloves of garlic, which gives him smelly breath that spreads onto fighters caught in his Chomp attack.

Wario is also known for his lack of personal hygiene; he often picks his nose and forgets to clean his teeth, which can cause him problems due to his addiction to sweets.

Wario sees Mario as his rival, because of the latter's fame as a hero. Mario himself however, sees Wario as one of his friends.

Wario's other rival is Captain Syrup, a female pirate captain who is also a skilled treasure hunter. Wario often clashes with her when it comes to treasure. Wario's combat style focuses more on brute force than Mario. His signature technique is Shoulder Bash, where he rams into his enemies with his shoulders. Wario can also grab and throw his enemies and uses ground pounds on them.

He can use his large mouth to bite his enemies.

Wario is also skilled at riding motorcycles, often riding one as his main method of transportation. </Powers and Abilities>
