Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, {{nihongo|'''Wario'''|ワリオ|''Wario''}} makes his first playable appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Wearing his [[WarioWare]] outfit, Wario has an attack where he builds up flatulence over 
time and later releases a deadly fart called the [[Wario Waft]], which was highly exaggerated in the trailer by making it a bigger explosion of fart than it is in the actual game, similar to the exaggeration of [[Dimensional Cape]]. Wario moves with a [[Mr. Game & Watch]]-like stop-motion gait (similar to his movement in WarioWare cutscenes).

Wario currently ranks 5th on the tier list (the second highest ranked sub-series ''Mario'' character) due to his unique attributes as a fighter (e.g. small size, heavy weight and great horizontal directional influence), great recovery when all recovery options are present, good approach game, amazing aerial game/mobility combined with an amazing [[air dodge]], unpredictability, great matchups, very low amount of weaknesses and his amazing Wario Waft KO move.

==Attributes==
[[File:E3wario.PNG|thumb|Wario, as seen in the first trailer for ''Brawl'' at E3 2006.]]
Wario is a unique, unorthodox addition to the Smash Bros. series. He is a heavy character, so he is hard to KO, but he has amazing mobility in the air, possessing the third-fastest lateral aerial movement (behind Yoshi and Jigglypuff), arguably the fastest air speed acceleration, almost no loss of speed when changing direction and with a solid set of aerials to go with it. His aerial speed combined with his great aerial dodge (both fast and still moves very fast at the same time) allows him to be a great camper despite his lack of a solid projectile. He can even run out the timer against certain slow characters. However, this requires him to take the percent or stock lead to force the opponent to approach. His fast air speed makes up for his slow dash speed and roll. Some of Wario's moves are laggy, but this is not severe, as Wario's overall attack speed isn't bad, especially on his aerials. Wario is one of the few characters in the game that can punish low lag moves, due to his amazing aerial mobility, often with a [[down aerial]] that is also hard to not get punished with. His recovery is deceptively good when all options are available, thanks to his Wario Bike, Wario Waft and his aerial movement. On the other hand, Wario's recovery is extremely situational, because he can't recover with the Wario Bike if it's lying on the ground, the Wario Waft has to be charged to give Wario good recovery distance and Corkscrew is a poor recovery move in general, due its mediocre distance and inability to auto-sweetspot the ledge until near the ending of the move.

Wario thrives on surprise and deception and he can vary his approaches like few can. One of Wario's most notable attributes is his size (about the same size as Mario, but a tad wider), which is rather small for a heavyweight (the smallest), meaning he is relatively difficult to hit. Wario can also [[crawl]], although it is not entirely useful for dodging attacks, so it is usually used for landing down-tilts while approaching the character. 

Wario boasts one of the best [[Dash attack canceling|Smash Boosts]] in the game, which allows him to cover great distances and string together attacks in a relatively short amount of time, often effective after a [[Chomp]] at lower percentages. His smash boost is also very useful for retrieving items (such as his bikes' tires or Diddy Kong's bananas). Other abilities include his ability to juggle with his Up aerial, KO opponents at low percentages with his forward smash or even lower with an almost fully charged [[Wario Waft]] which at that point can KO as low as 50% with start-up of only 5 frames and use Chomp to stop projectiles and interrupt certain moves, many of them powerful, commonly used approaches (e.g. Jigglypuff's Rollout), because Chomp behaves like a grab. Chomp is one of his better moves. It has very fast start-up, goes through any spot dodge due its extreme duration, goes through shields because it's a grab and beats any non-disjointed move and non-invincible moves (certain moves makes him take full damage, but still let him grab the opponent). It can also be reversed (although it cannot be used to change momentum), as well as be used to eat items and doing so to an explosive makes him take slight damage, but also creates a hitbox that deals decent damage with fairly high knockback. His [[Wario Bike]], when thrown at an enemy, is the only projectile in the game that can spike (with the exception of the pitfall item) and it is quite large (and thus hard to avoid). Because of his limited KO moves, Wario should not use them too much for racking up damage (although they are all very good KO moves when fresh). He has also a very good grab game: his forward throw does 13% damage and also KOs lightweights in the edge at about 150% if they have good Directional Influence. Also, he can [[chain grab]] with his down throw on several characters until high percentages. 

He only has a few main weaknesses. For one, Wario has poor range on his attacks (except his jab, his grab and more noticeably, his forward tilt), especially with his smashes, which is not a big problem unless the opponent has long range, priority and speed like Marth. This is compensated for by his unpredictable and fast approach and the fact that attacking his motorcycle breaks it up to yield temporary projectiles, which, with his glide toss (and the unusual bouncing properties of the wheels), makes up for his poor range. Another problem, though minor, is that Wario has poor get-up rolls and get-up attacks, making him fairly easy to tech-chase when on the ground. Another problem would be that his unusual jump break animation coming out of a grab leaves him extremely vulnerable to attacks and infinite grab releases; however, to compensate that lag, his dominantly aerial fighting style makes him one of the most difficult characters to grab due to characters being completely safe from grabs in midair. While these issues aren't overly crippling and not all characters have a grab release option against Wario-including [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]]-and many of those with one have trouble grabbing Wario, a Wario player has to stay very deceptive and slippery to avoid getting nailed by his poor range and getting grabbed by those who have a grab release option on him.

Has slight start-up but little ending lag with great range, including a slight disjoint. Good KO move at about 130%. Oddly, his voice plays at an earlier time when angled up. Wario's longest ranged non-projectile. May be based on an attack from Wario's look-alike Booster in Super Mario RPG.||rowspan="2"|Angled Up||Arm||14%||rowspan="6"|*||rowspan="6"|14||rowspan="6"|17||rowspan="6"|22||rowspan="6"|98||rowspan="6"|0||rowspan="6"|{{AttackType|type=Hand|effect=Normal|t=6}}

First hit has good knockback, subsequent hits have gradually weaker strength and knockback and final frames are very punishable. Somewhat similar to Wolf's neutral aerial. A poor move in general (Even Ike can punish a Perfect Shielded one with a guaranteed forward smash).||colspan="2"|Clean||{{DamageWhenCharged|13}}||rowspan="3"|30||9||18||30||80||rowspan="3"|0||rowspan="3"|{{AttackType|type=Spin|effect=Normal|t=3}}

|Forward smash||Shoudler Ram||colspan="3"|His trademark Dash Attack from the Wario Land games and Wario World. A combination of [[launch resistance]] and [[Priority#Transcendent priority|transcendent priority]] makes the attack extremely difficult to interrupt; it can only be halted if Wario is grabbed or hit from behind by an attack strong enough to clank with it. Very fast but with poor range and easily punished when shielded, it has long ending lag. Wario runs in place while charging. His 2nd best KO move after Wario Waft. High knockback.||{{DamageWhenCharged|19}}||*||10||12||30||77||0||{{AttackType|type=Body|effect=Normal|t=1}}
|-
|rowspan="2"|Neutral aerial||rowspan="2"|Wonky Spin||rowspan="2"|Accompanied by a gradually lowering sound of falling, Wario extends his hands and fingers, then spins in place. A quick move to use in the air. Great for spacing and hard to punish. Also great when short hopping with it out of shield. Both hits can connect at very low percentages.||colspan="2"|Clean||9%||40||4||5||30||rowspan="2"|100||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|{{AttackType|type=Body|effect=Normal|t=2}}

|rowspan="2"|Forward aerial||rowspan="2"|Drop Kick||rowspan="2"|Sticks his foot a short distance forward. Very short ranged and very little damage, but very high speed, surprisingly strong, high priority and last a long time. Best used for "[[Wall of Pain]]"-style attacking. Can set up a half charged Wario Waft. Has good momentum cancelling and is also a very useful edgeguarding move.||colspan="2"|Clean||7%||rowspan="2"|*||5||6||20||100||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|{{AttackType|type=Foot|effect=Normal|t=2}}

|Back aerial||Head Poke||colspan="3"|Throws his head backwards, hitting with it, entire body horizontal. Similar to his forward aerial only stronger with longer end lag and much longer landing lag. Slightly disjointed hitbox.||10%||*||9||11||20||100||0||{{AttackType|type=Head|effect=Normal|t=1}}
|-
|Up aerial||High Clap||Claps above his head with hands and feet. Very quick start-up, high knockback, can KO easily with low delay. The hitbox covers his whole body, even where he doesn't clap and has a slight horizontal disjoint. This is a great move to use on floaty characters with poor aerial defense. One of the best up aerials in the game.||colspan="2"|Null||17%||75||8||9||30||80||0||{{AttackType|type=Hand|effect=Normal|t=1}}
|-
|rowspan="3"|Down aerial||rowspan="3"|Body Drill||rowspan="3"|Turns upside down and spins, drilling with his head. Has decent knockback, is very hard to DI out of and is very effective if used after a short-hop without fast-falling. One of his main damage rackers due how long it lasts and how good it is for shield-stabbing. Can easily combine with other moves like his forward smash, up aerial, or Chomp if the very last hit does not connect.||rowspan="2"|Hits 1-6||Head||rowspan="2"|2%||110||rowspan="2" colspan="2"|9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19||rowspan="2"|0||rowspan="2"|100||30||rowspan="3"|{{AttackType|type=Head|effect=Normal|t=3}}

|-
|Forward throw||Swing-A-Ding||colspan="3"|Spins the foe around and throws him/her forward. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. The best throw for racking up damage. Usually starts KO at about 150% on lighter characters near the edge with good DI. Identical to Mario and Luigi's back throw, except the spun opponent doesn't hurt other foes.||12%||45||colspan="2"|46||60||65||0||{{AttackType|type=Throwing|effect=Normal|t=1}}

Probably based on the ground pound move in Wario Land and Wario World. Wario is capable of chaingrabbing with this, even chain grabbing 0-death on Bowser or 50-death on Falco and Wolf.

===[[Taunt]]s===

'''Up:''' Belly-laughs so hard (as heard by the Wii-mote when selecting Wario), his jaw unhinges, so he has to manually put it back with his hands. If he is holding the back tire of his bike, it looks as if he is biting it.

'''Side:''' Accompanied by a "wiggly" sound similar to the one heard while using Corkscrew. Wario wiggles his butt at the screen with his hands extended in each direction and he teasingly snickers. Wario seems to float as the bottoms of his shoes are touching each other. His shortest taunt.

'''Down:''' Wario faces the screen, holds up three fingers with his left hand that seem to form a "W" for Wario and then does the same with his right hand after putting away his left hand. Then, he holds them both out at the same time. Wario utters "Wah!" three times for each time he holds up a hand, the third "Wah!" having the most enthusiasm.

'''While riding Wario Bike (in any direction):''' Wario faces to his right and does his signature "W" sign at the screen with both hands and then picks his nose with his left hand. Another trick considered a taunt is when Wario does a wheelie by gently holding up on the control stick, where he stands on the back of his seat and flaps his right hand based on how fast he is going up and down.

==Role in ''[[The Subspace Emissary]]''==
[[File:Subspace wario.PNG|frame|Wario in the Subspace Emissary]]

After [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] does battle with [[Petey Piranha]] to free the princesses, one of the cages in which Petey holds [[Zelda (SSBB)|Princess Zelda]] and [[Peach (SSBB)|Princess Peach]] will break, depending on which cage the player damaged more while battling Petey. The Princess who the player saves will escape with the player; the other will be injured and trapped beneath their wrecked cage. Wario drops heavily into the stadium with a [[Dark Cannon]]. Blasting the princess, Wario traps her in the form of a trophy and takes off with the trophy on his shoulder. He is revealed to be a member of the Subspace Army. 

Wario then hunts down [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] in an abandoned zoo, dispatching [[Porky]] to corner him and weakening him. Porky is defeated by Lucas with the help of [[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]], but Wario appears and captures Ness, who is hit defending Lucas. 

Upon finding the trophy of [[Luigi (SSBB)|Luigi]], Wario lets his guard down and picks up the trophy. Wario is ambushed by [[Waddle Dee]]s and then loses his trophies to King Dedede, who steals his [[Cargo]]. Wario tracks Lucas and his partner, the [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]], down and fights them. Wario is defeated and left behind. When [[Galleom]]'s Subspace Bomb detonates, the area of Subspace expands and absorbs Wario's trophy. Wario confronts [[King Dedede (SSBB)|King Dedede]] later on the steps to the Great Maze and he is stunned to see Luigi and Ness beside him. King Dedede, Luigi and Ness point to the Great Maze to show it to Wario, who thinks that they are pointing to his nose (Wario was standing between King Dedede and the Great Maze). Thus Wario starts to pick his nose. Realising that he can't fight all of them, he instead drives [[Wario Bike|his bike]] to the top and beats them there. He also aids the heroes in their battle against [[Tabuu]].

Although he works for the Subspace Army, he had no specific allegiance to [[Master Hand]], only following his orders because he enjoyed doing so.

==Trophy==
''Mario's self-styled rival. He loves money and gross humor. He often sets out in search of hidden treasure. His bold moves come from his superhuman strength and are completely different from Mario's moves. Aside from adventuring, he's also the chairman of game maker WarioWare, Inc. Its franchise game is WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$. ''

==Trivia==
*Due to his dodgy walking animation, if Wario is walking backwards on conveyor belts in custom stages, he cannot step onto another conveyor belt.
*Wario is the only character to have a move based on a game that was released after the release of Brawl: ''Wario Land: Shake It!''. Wario's crawling animation is also based on this game.
*Despite ''Wario Land'' being an action-based game series, most of Wario's moves are unique to [[Brawl]] rather than originating from any of his games.
*Wario never blinks. The only times his eyes are closed are when he is asleep, stunned, or being hit.
*Wario is the only playable villain not seen to be revived in [[The Subspace Emissary]].
*Biker Wario's buttons show a W, under which is "Made In". This is a reference to the Japanese name for the WarioWare series, "Made in Wario". Also on the back of his WarioWare outfit, it reads "Hurry Up!".
*Wario is the only character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have two sets of costumes.
*Wario is the only character in Brawl with more than 3 taunts.
