With [[Character customization|custom moves]] turned on, Wario gains a number of solid options. Speeding Bike allows for easy follow-ups after a successful hit due to its high speed being able to overtake an opponent who's been launched by it, along with being even better for recovery; however, it can be stuffed by enemy attacks easily due to its low durability. Burying Bike, while offering little for recovery, is extremely durable and can act as an effective shield against projectiles, helping to alleviate Wario's range problems. Rose-Scented Waft, while much weaker than its standard counterpart, possesses a gigantic hitbox that can make it nigh-unavoidable in the hands of a competent player, and can tack on a huge amount of damage if the opponent doesn't commit to [[button mashing]] to shake the flower off. Quick Waft, meanwhile, is decidedly stronger than the Rose-Scented Waft, charges almost four times faster than the standard, and executes faster than the other versions, giving Wario a more readily available KO option in exchange for the massive power of the standard. Corkscrew Leap offers a good deal of extra distance and speed in exchange for the damage of the standard, which leaves Wario more vulnerable during recovery in exchange for allowing him to go deeper for edgeguards than before.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

As for the nerfs he received from the mechanics, the aforementioned removal of DACUS hinders his ground game. While he was not the most prominent user of DACUS in Brawl due to his up smash being rather poor, it nevertheless harms him in ''Smash 4'' especially with the change to his up smash. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] are also not highly beneficial to him as the removal of [[momentum canceling]] hinders his endurance and while it does improve his combo potential, it also makes him significantly easier to combo especially when combined with his higher falling speed.

===Aesthetics===

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Wario [[dash]]es faster (1.35 → 1.5), with his dashing speed now being just slightly below average rather than among the slowest in the game.}}

*{{change|Wario's air friction has been halved (0.08 → 0.04) no longer being the highest in the game. This sends him further out when aerial [[grab release]]d and it improves the utility of his neutral aerial but hinders his endurance as well as his ability to control himself in the air.}}

*{{buff|Wario's [[roll]]s have less ending lag (FAF 38 → 30).}}

*{{buff|Wario's [[air dodge]] has less startup (frame 4 → 3) and ending lag (FAF 40 → 33).}}

*{{buff|Wario walks much faster while carrying heavy items, allowing him to walk around much faster while carrying his Bike.}}

**{{nerf|Wario can no cancel dash attack into up smash if he connects it (the [[Gatling Combo]]), which slightly hinders his offensive game.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{buff|Forward smash's startup animation now moves Wario backwards and the move also no longer moves Wario forward, improving its spacing potential.}}

***{{buff|This allows it to cancel out projectiles (without damaging Wario).}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash has more ending lag (FAF 45 → 66).}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash no longer has [[super armor]].}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash has smaller hitboxes (5u/4u/4u → 4.5u/3.5u) no longer covering Wario's body, no longer making the move disjointed and overall decreasing the move's range.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

**{{buff|Wario has a new up smash: a single hitting head-inflating swinging headbutt while standing on one leg and leaning forward, similar to Mario and Luigi's. This new up smash deals more damage (1% (hits 1-5)/10% (hit 5) → 16% (clean)/13% (late)), improving its KO potential despite its lower knockback scaling (97 → 85) and less favorable launch angle (90° → 95°) compared to the previous final hit.}}

**{{nerf|Up smash has more ending lag (FAF 47 → 58).}}

**{{nerf|Up smash has a smaller hitbox (8u/4.5u → 7u), with its hitbox now failing to cover Wario's head (rather than being noticeably disjointed).}}

*[[Down smash]]:

**{{buff|The clean and mid hits have a larger hitbox (3.8u/3.5u → 5u/4u).}}

**{{nerf|Down smash has a shorter duration (frames 8-17 (clean)/18-30 (mid)/31-44 (late)) → 8-17/18-27/28-36).}}

**{{nerf|The mid and late hits have decreased knockback scaling (85 (mid)/90 (late) → 84/88).}}

===Aerial attacks===

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{buff|The second hit of neutral aerial now launches opponents vertically (361° → 70°), significantly improving its combo potential.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has more landing lag (10 frames → 12).}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has smaller hitboxes (5.5u/5.5u → 3u extended (hit 1), 6u → 4.5u (hit 2)).}}

**{{nerf|The first hit deals less damage (9% → 6.5%), hindering its KO potential.}}

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{nerf|The late hit deals less damage (5% → 4.5%).}}

**{{nerf|The late hit's far hitbox is smaller (4.3u → 3.5u).}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial deals less damage (17% → 13%) and has reduced knockback scaling (80 → 78), significantly hindering its KO potential.}}

***{{buff|However, this along with its higher angle, the removal of [[hitstun canceling]] and the changes to [[DI]] allows it to combo much more effectively beyond low percents.}}

***{{nerf|Additionally due to its new animation, up aerial is also no longer disjointed.}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial no longer auto-cancels in a short hop due to Wario's lower short hop (caused by his higher gravity/falling speed).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial has a shorter initial auto-cancel window (frames 1-6 → 1-2).}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial auto-cancels much later (frame 25 → 42), making it no longer auto-cancel in a short hop.}}

**{{nerf|The loop hits have much smaller hitboxes (6u/4u/3u → 2u/2u/2u). They now only have a small extended hitbox below Wario's head and two on Wario's head (one of grounded opponents and one for aerial opponents) rather than having one large hitbox on Wario's head and two smaller hitboxes covering the rest of his body.}}

**{{nerf|The final hit now only consists of a head hitbox which is smaller than the previous head hitbox (7.5u/5u/5u → 7u). This significantly hinders its range above Wario.}}

*{{buff|Dash grab has less startup (frame 10 → 8) and ending grab (FAF 40 → 37).}}

*{{buff|Pivot grab has less ending lag (FAF 36 → 35). Since Wario is now the only character who has a pivot grab faster than frame 9, he now has the fastest pivot grab in the game.}}

*[[Forward throw]]:

**{{buff|Wario releases opponents from forward throw much earlier (frame 46 → 21), making it significantly harder to [[DI]].}}

***{{nerf|However, its total duration was not fully compensated (FAF 70 → 55), giving it more ending lag.}}

*[[Back throw]]:

*[[Up throw]]:

**{{buff|Up throw deals slightly more damage (6% (hit)/10% (total) → 7%/11%).}}

**{{nerf|A destroyed Wario Bike's tires can no longer be picked up and thrown, removing a pseudo-projectile. They can still be consumed by Chomp, but they now disappear upon contact with the ground or if the move is re-used.}}

*[[Corkscrew]]:

**{{change|During Corkscrew, Wario now has his fists clenched to his side and thrusts his palms out towards the end, rather than having his palms open in the straight up in the air the entire time.}}

**{{buff|The loop hits have a longer duration (2 frames → 4).}}

**{{nerf|The final hit has a higher hitlag multiplier, especially on the hands (0.5x → 1x (body)/2.5x (hands)).}}

*[[Wario Waft]]:

*Quarter Waft:

**{{buff|Quarter Waft deals more damage (10%/8% → 12%/10%) and has increased knockback scaling (70/60 → 80).}}

===Version differences===

==Update history==

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.8]]'''

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.1.0]]'''

|game=SSB4

|neutralcount=2

|neutral1dmg=4%

|neutral2dmg=5%

|neutraldesc=Wario steps forward and delivers a downwards punch followed by an uppercut. Wario will move a slight distance if this move is used consecutively. Tied with {{SSB4|Palutena}} for the fourth slowest jab in the game, behind {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|King Dedede}}, and {{SSB4|Zelda}}, with the first hit active on frame 8.

|ftiltangles=3

|ftiltupdmg=14% (arm), 11% (body)

|ftiltsidedmg=13% (arm), 11% (body)

|ftiltdowndmg=12% (arm), 10% (body)

|ftiltdesc=Wario winds back and delivers a power punch. Decent range and is Wario's strongest tilt, allowing it to KO near the sides of the stage at high percents. Can be angled. Might be based on one of {{s|mariowiki|Booster}}'s attacks in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}''.

|utiltdmg=10% (clean), 6% (late)

|utiltdesc=Raises both hands above his head, raising the roof. It is a decent combo starter into itself at low percents and can lead into a up aerial and neutral aerial. Hits longer than one might expect due to its short-lasting late hitbox.

|dtiltdmg=4%

|dtiltdesc=Stabs his index finger at the ground in front of him. Can be done in quick succession and, due to its quick speed and interruptibility, can be used in place of his actual neutral attack as an out-of-shield option or combo starter. Can true combo into another dtilt, dash attack, and dash grab at mid to high percents.

|dashdmg=7% (clean), 4% (late)

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|19}}

|fsmashdesc=Wario winds back greatly with his fist, and delivers an enormous backhanded punch. Has about the same range as his forward tilt. Has high endlag and the slowest startup of Wario's smash attacks, but is extremely powerful, KOing as early as 75% at the edge.

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|16}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|13}} (late)

|usmashdesc=Wario performs a headbutt forwards. Deals more damage if it hits during the first two frames, being able to KO at around 111%. Weirdly, the attack is only interruptible once Wario stands normally again. Wario's head is intangible while the hitboxes are out. Might be based on the third hit of his basic attack combo in ''Wario World''.

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|13}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|10}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|5}} (late)

|dsmashdesc=Spins on the ground thrice, bashing foes with his head. The move consists of three hits, though it is only able to hit opponents once due to how its hitbox is coded. Each hit is a semi-spike, with the first hit being able to KO at around 122%; subsequent hits are much weaker. Quick startup, but it has the highest endlag of Wario's smash attacks.

|nairdmg=6.5% (clean), 4% (late)

|fairdmg=7% (clean), 4.5% (late)

|fairdesc=A quick kick forwards. The first few frames do more damage and knockback. Very low knockback, but starts up very fast (frame 5), making it useful for [[gimp]]ing or escaping pressure. The late hit can [[lock]] and also combos easily into other aerials at low percents, including [[Chomp]] if an opponent is about to land. Autocancels if used immediately after a short-hop.

|bairdmg=12%

|bairdesc=Wario thrusts his head backwards in mid-air. It is his strongest aerial knockback-wise, KOing at 124% at the edge. Also has relatively low startup and sends at a semi-spike angle. However, its hitbox does not last long and only follows the top of Wario's head, making it possible to miss if an opponent touches the rest of his body. Autocancels if used immediately after a short-hop.

|uairdmg=13%

|uairdesc=Wario claps his arms and feet together in mid-air. His strongest aerial damage-wise with the best vertical knockback as well, although its knockback is rather lacking when compared to the version in ''Brawl''. Using it after a fastfall can lead into an aerial and Wario Waft until high percents. At very high percents, the headbutt of a mid/fully-charged Waft can also connect.

|dairdmg=1.3% (hits 1-6), 4% (hit 7)

|dairdesc=Wario turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head. Unusually for such aerial attacks, the last hit has powerful diagonal knockback that can KO at high percents. When landing with it before the final hit, it can lead into a half waft if Wario has enough rage. If done out of a full hop, Wario can cover his landing with a neutral/forward air or special moves.

|grabdesc=Grabs his opponents with his left hand. Wario's grab range is above average.

|pummeldmg=2%

|fthrowdmg=12%

|fthrowdesc=Sends the opponent forward with his posterior while posing. Wario's strongest throw, KOing Mario at 152% at the edge.

|bthrowdmg=7% (throw), 8% (collateral)

|uthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (throw)

|uthrowdesc=Wario tosses the opponent up and punches them upwards in a strongman pose.

|dthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 4% (throw)

|dthrowdesc=Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them. Hits the opponent at a low angle behind Wario, which can set up a dash attack or a Wario Bike at low percents. Possibly based on the ground pound move from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land}}'' and ''Wario World''. Has incredibly low base knockback, and even lower knockback growth, having no KO potential whatsoever.

|floorfname= 

|floorfdmg=7%

|floorbname= 

|floorbdmg=7%

|nsc1name=Inhaling Chomp

|nsc1dmg=2% (each bite), 4% (throw)

|nsc2name=Garlic Breath

|nsc2dmg=6%

|ssdefname=Wario Bike

|ssdefdmg=1%-10% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 10%), 8% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 13% (wheelie ground slam), 7% (turn), 3% (turn late, can hit twice)

|ssc1name=Speeding Bike

|ssc1dmg=1%-8% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 8%), 6% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 10% (wheelie ground slam)

|dsdefname=Wario Waft

|dsdefdmg=0% (no charge), 14% (minor charge), 27% (moderate charge), 27% (maximum charge)

|dsc1name=Rose-Scented Waft

|dsc1dmg=6% (no charge), 12% (minor charge), 17% (moderate charge), 21% (maximum charge)

|fsdesc=Wario eats a garlic bulb and transforms into Wario-Man. While he's transformed, Wario-Man gains invincibility and drastically amplified agility and strength. Distinct from other transformation final smashes in that his moves have significantly less end lag and his aerials grant him infinite recovery, with the exception of down air. His down throw meteor smashes when used on a ledge, and his specials are boosted to the extreme, particularly his Wario Bike and Wario Waft. However, taking damage will reduce the time this Final Smash lasts. If he summons his bike while transformed, it will vanish when he returns to normal form.

}}

===[[On-screen appearance]]===

|desc-up=Belly-laughs so hard that his jaw unhinges, and has to manually close his mouth with his hands. Unlike in ''Brawl'', this taunt includes a much louder and more pronounced clicking sound.

|desc-side=Wiggles his butt at the screen with his hands extended in each direction while snickering.

|desc-bike=Laughs and faces the screen while doing his signature "W" hand sign with both hands, and then picks his nose with his left hand.}}

{{Victory/SSB4

|victory-theme=WarioTheme.ogg

|desc-2=Laughs gloatingly and then falls over, rolling on his back.

|desc-3=Pats his belly, releasing a fart that results in him scratching his head and letting out a disgusted groan upon smelling it.

==Trivia==

**Similarly, [[Lucas]] [[Lucas (SSBB)|was a starter character]] in ''Brawl'', but became a downloadable character in ''SSB4''. Coincidentally, both Lucas and Wario were newcomers in ''Brawl''.

*Wario is the only character with fewer {{SSB4|alternate costume}}s in ''SSB4'' than in ''Brawl'', going from 12 to 8 options.

*Wario's All-Star trophy in the 3DS version resembles his artwork for ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}''.

*Wario is the only character with a fourth taunt, which is done by taunting while riding the [[Wario Bike]] (even when in the air), as well as one of two characters that can taunt while using a special move, with the other being {{SSB4|Greninja}} while doing [[Shadow Sneak]].

*Humorously, Wario swings the [[Home-Run Bat]] by holding it in his mouth like a dog, while the {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}} dog swings it like a human being would, even standing on two legs while doing so.
