After creating what they coined as "microgames" for ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Mario Artist: Polygon Studio}}'' on the 64DD, Nintendo wanted to expand the concept into a whole game, and decided that Wario was crass and unpredictable enough for the tone they were going for. This grew into the ''{{iw|supermariowiki|WarioWare}}'' series, where Wario and an eclectic cast of side characters perform these various microgames in over the top scenarios. Most plots revolve around Wario wanting to make video games for profit and either tricking or coercing acquaintances into making the games for him. This series is also one of the few Nintendo developed franchises to adopt voice acting, with ''WarioWare Gold'' specifically having all cutscenes fully voiced.

Wario, as mentioned previously, is meant to be an exaggerated foil to Mario. Alongside his name swapping the M with a W, his name is also a portmanteau of Mario combined with the Japanese phrase {{ja|悪い|Warui}}, which translates to bad in English, essentially giving him the name "Bad Mario." Wario does not care about ethics and altruism like his rivals, and only attempts to help others when he directly benefits. An example of this is during ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}'' where he incidentally defeats the Shake King, saves Queen Merelda and liberates the Shake Dimension from tyranny all to obtain the Bottomless Coin Sack. Wario is miserly to the extent of hoarding his treasure so no one else can find it and double-crossing his friends for a payout. Wario is also motivated by other things he enjoys like food and leisure. While Wario enjoys all types of food, his absolute favorite is garlic, often eating whole cloves at a time. This on top of his poor hygiene has led to his signature foul odors and extreme flatulence seen in many of his appearances. Wario also enjoys causing chaos, often pulling pranks on other characters because he finds it funny. [[Waluigi]] often joins in on these schemes. Wario is often shown to be surprisingly athletic and muscular for his perceived obesity, performing feats on par with or even exceeding what Mario can do. While Wario is generally seen as antagonistic in most of his appearances, he is rarely depicted as malicious and is often used for comic relief, providing whacky side plots running parallel to the main story and often being the catalyst for the major conflict.

Many people suggested to [[Masahiro Sakurai]] to add Wario as a playable character for ''Melee''{{'}}s roster, and Sakurai also stated that he would have added Wario to the roster if he had enough time to add one more character.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/</ref> Despite this, Sakurai decided against him, as he was concerned that the game would have too many characters from the {{uv|Mario}} series. He also explained that he could've implemented Wario with the development time allocated to {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} or {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Roy}} (despite planning on including all three of those characters in the roster as playable characters), or that he could have instead included Wario as a [[clone]] of {{SSBM|Mario}}, but had rejected the offer.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return576.html</ref>
Wario was strongly considered for ''Melee''{{'}}s roster, but Sakurai passed over him, as he did not want to include more than three newcomers from the {{uv|Mario}} series. Sakurai explained that he could've implemented Wario with the development time allocated to {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} or {{SSBM|Marth}} plus {{SSBM|Roy}}, or that he could have instead included Wario as a [[clone]] of {{SSBM|Mario}}, but had opted not to.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return576.html</ref> He would additionally state that if he had the time to include one more newcomer, he would have added Wario to ''Melee''.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/</ref>
