'''Wario''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Little Mac}} and the rest of the returning roster. Wario is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #30]].

As in ''[[SSB4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Wario from ''[[Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Wario being the 24th character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Samus}} or any character in her unlock tree, being the 7th character unlocked after {{SSBU|Cloud}}.
*Have Wario join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
With the exception of the third method, Wario must then be defeated on [[WarioWare, Inc.]]

==Attributes==
Wario is a short [[weight|heavyweight]] character with a great air game and surprisingly fantastic movement in the air. He boasts the 8th fastest [[air speed]] in the game, in addition to being tied for the 2nd best [[air acceleration]]. Wario also sports an above average [[falling speed]] and the 26th highest [[gravity]], which alongside the previous attributes gives him an amazing aerial prowess despite having low [[jump]]s. However, his grounded mobility pales in comparison, as his dashing speed and traction are average at best, and his walking speed is the 12th slowest in the game. Using his high mobility and versatile [[aerial attack]]s, Wario is able to dip in and out of the fray to bait attacks and punish. Wario's attacks in general also tend to be disjointed, as his hands don't have a hurtbox. He's also fairly hard to hit since he's relatively nimble and short for a heavy character, though fairly wide, meaning he can still be vulnerable to combos and juggles.

Furthermore, Wario boasts strong aerials, with his down, and back aerials being potent kill moves, while the up aerial is a highly damaging juggling and combo extension tool. Thanks to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s universal 3-frame jumpsquat, he can finally utilize his forward and neutral aerials as fast moves that can combo and pressure his opponents. Wario's air control and quick aerials also make him very effective at edgeguarding.

Wario's ground game contrasts with his air game in that it focuses more on power than speed. His forward tilt and forward smash are among the strongest in the cast, although both are rather slow, and the latter is best suited for hard reads. His up and down tilts are great combo tools that could potentially lead into kill moves, and his new shoulder tackle dash attack is both extremely fast in terms of startup and one of the strongest dash attacks in the game.

Wario's grabs are not particularly fast but have above average range. His throws have their fair share utility, with his up throw being able to combo into his up aerial and his down throw being both quite damaging and great for keeping opponents close to pressure them further. Forward throw deals decent damage, and back throw having a strong collateral hitbox that is good at knocking away other combatants.

Wario's special moves are also very unorthodox, and they demand practice to be usable at their highest potentials. [[Chomp]] is one of the best [[command grab]]s in the game, having deceptively long [[range]] and decent startup. It heals Wario if it connects, can effectively cover certain [[edge recovery|edge recoveries]] and even kill at high percents, negate certain attacks such as [[Wonderwing]], and [[absorb]] many projectiles, often with the benefit of further [[healing]] him and slightly increasing the [[charge]] of his [[Wario Waft]]. His Waft is his most significant move because, with time, it is a highly damaging kill move with an extremely fast startup. With Waft in his arsenal, any match can be turned around with the right read. [[Wario Bike]] gives Wario an unorthodox approach option that covers for his fairly slow ground movement, and the bike itself continues to move forward and hit opposing fighters even after Wario dismounts it. This gives him a large pseudo-projectile which can apply pressure when used effectively, but the bike has a respawn time which prevents this from being used as a normal projectile. It can be used to surprise unsuspecting players as an approach tool that can blow past some projectiles, dismounted and thrown like an item with kill power, a very effective recovery tool, and a way for Wario to heal and charge his Waft when he eats it. On the flip side, Wario cannot shield or dodge while on the bike and is vulnerable, opponents can throw it right back at him, and if it's destroyed, he has to wait six seconds before using it again, which can leave him helpless while recovering as his up special, the [[Corkscrew]] is rather lackluster as a recovery on its own (although it is a decent out-of-shield option as it is his fastest recovery move).

For all of his strengths, Wario does have several weaknesses to counterbalance them. His range is rather mediocre, especially in moves such as neutral aerial and forward aerial, and he lacks projectile attacks outside of a dismounted Wario Bike and thus must take a risk to deal damage. While his bike recovery can go a far distance, it is fairly easy to gimp him when he uses it, so Wario players have to be careful with when and how it is used. While Wario does have some fast moves, he is certainly slower and heavier on average than most characters that share his weaknesses, so he can sometimes be overwhelmed in the [[neutral game|neutral]] against small characters with better range than him. Wario will have to use his overall high mobility to bait his opponents into making mistakes and capitalize on them with his highly damaging combos and powerful kill moves.

Wario is also burdened with a rather poor set of smash attacks. All three have extremely high ending lag and are very unsafe on shield making them easily punishable while only having average or slightly above average power. Forward smash is very strong but suffers from slow startup and very high ending lag, up smash has decent startup and grants Wario head intangibility, but has massive ending lag to the point where Wario will be standing at the end of the animation of the move and still be in lag. Finally, down smash has fast startup coming out on frame 8, but has extreme ending lag and very mediocre power which makes it one of Wario's least useful moves. 

All in all, Wario is a quite mobile and versatile heavyweight brawler that rewards patient players who know how to use his movement and signature Waft to their fullest potentials. His damage-racking ability and kill power also rewards players heavily for finding creative ways to get around his rather poor range and lack of a proper projectile, and his versatile options and movement give players just the tools to do it.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Possibly due to his lower tier status in ''Smash 4'' (41st out of 55), Wario has been significantly buffed in his transition to ''Ultimate''. As with the rest of the returning cast, Wario's overall mobility has been improved, allowing for safer approaches and recovery. Directional air dodges also add a new option to his already great and versatile recovery. Changes to game mechanics have also benefited him, as the universal 3-frame jumpsquat allows him to utilize his strong air game better than he previously could in addition to giving him more viable [[out of shield]] options in his neutral and forward aerials, while the lower landing lag on aerial attacks makes Wario's neutral, forward and up aerials more reliable for starting combos. His neutral aerial has also been altered, as it has more range, its two hits linger for much longer, and the move now has an extremely lenient amount of ending lag of only four frames. Wario has also received multiple new kill moves, most notably his new dash attack, which deals greater knockback, and can also be used as an effective [[tech-chasing]] tool; his back aerial has also received increased knockback, making it more powerful. Chomp also now heals damage from Wario when biting an opponent or eating projectiles, overall improving his already good survivability. Lastly, some of Wario's attacks have more range due to better hitbox placements.

Wario did receive a few nerfs, however, with the most notable being to the Wario Bike. Similarly to its ''Brawl'' incarnation, the bike can no longer be used immediately after despawning or being destroyed, forcing Wario to wait 6 seconds before it can be used again. As such, Wario cannot always rely on the bike for recovery, should he end up offstage while its cooldown is in effect. However, the bike's new scaled knockback helps compensate when used offensively as a projectile. Another notable nerf Wario received is that his forward throw, previously his only throw with consistently good KO potential, is much weaker due to its redistributed damage output. As a result, his grab game has become more limited, as he no longer has any reasonably viable kill throws.

Overall, Wario's buffs drastically outweigh his nerfs, and he has been a very high-placing character in many top-level ''Ultimate'' tournaments thanks to fantastic results from players {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, and {{Sm|kameme}} utilizing him to win or place high at multiple major tournaments. Due to his fantastic results and strengths, Wario is widely regarded as a top-tier character, in stark contrast to his mediocre ''SSB4'' iteration, and likely his best incarnation in the entire series.

==Update history==
Wario has been both buffed and nerfed via updates. While most changes have been negligible, patch 11.0.0 was notable in nerfing Wario's Waft combos, and set-ups out of his up tilt.

''For a gallery of Wario's hitboxes, see [[Wario (SSBU)/Hitboxes|here]].''

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=2
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=4%
|neutral2dmg=5%
|neutraldesc=A downward punch and a uppercut. Among one of the worst neutral attacks in the game, due to its slow startup (frame 8) and lack of range, although it provides more reward than down tilt at lower percentages since down tilt cannot combo reliably until then. Similar to his two punch combo from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario World}}''.
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltdmg=13%
|ftiltdesc=A quick, heavy-handed slap. The move can be angled, has considerable range and is a versatile kill option at the ledge, with the downward-angled variant hitting every single ledge hang. Also disjointed due to his hand not possessing a hurtbox and a big hitbox that reaches far from the hand.
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=6% (clean), 5% (late)
|utiltdesc=Wario thrusts his outstretched hands upwards. It provides little knockback but is a potent combo starter, linking into many aerials and most notably, can confirm into Wario Waft. It also has a hitbox that lasts a relatively long time and the disjointed hands make it a good anti-air move. Possibly based off of Wario's victory animation in {{s|mariowiki|Wario Land II}} upon unlocking Time Attack mode.
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=4%
|dtiltdesc=Wario violently pokes the ground with his index finger, damaging opponents as he does so. It provides very little knockback and can combo into aerials and ground moves, most notably dash attack. It also has long horizontal range and provides disjoint due to the hands lacking a hurtbox, although the hitbox itself is very narrow and can miss opponents that are even slightly above it. Likely based on the "Touch" themed microgames from the ''WarioWare'' series.
|dashname=Shoulder Tackle
|dashdmg=11% (clean), 5% (late/early, body)
|dashdesc=Wario performs his signature "Shoulder Tackle" dash attack from the {{iw|mariowiki|Wario Land|series}} series. A powerful kill move with extremely short startup on frame 5. The late hit is weaker but launches opponents at an upward angle, where Wario can potentially follow up with a juggle situation. The early hit has a sourspot inside Wario's body that is hard to hit and deals 5%. It has long range due to Wario's momentum as he charges forward, allowing it to cross-up shields.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|20}}
|fsmashdesc=Wario winds back greatly with his fist, and delivers an enormous backhanded punch. Nearly the same range as his forward tilt, with a large hitbox that goes over Wario's fist. It has high ending lag and the slowest startup of Wario's smash attacks, but is very powerful. The winding back can allow moves to whiff, thus being punished by the attack. Due to coming out on frame 18 and having 46 frames of ending lag, it is very punishable if missed.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (early), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|13}} (late)
|usmashdesc=A hard-hitting, arcing headbutt. Wario's head enlarges significantly during the attack and extends upward, has a large hitbox and has head intangibility, making it very disjointed. The attack has high launching power and covers a fair amount of both vertical and horizontal range, but has a significant amount of ending lag (45 frames), to the point where Wario would be standing and still be in lag. May be based on the third hit of his basic attack combo in ''Wario World''.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|13}} (early), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|10}} (late)
|dsmashdesc=Spins on the ground thrice, bashing foes with his head. The move consists of three hits, though only one hit can connect. While the first hit is capable of KO'ing at high percents, its power is very low for a smash attack while subsequent hits are even weaker. Hits most ledge hangs, although it possesses high ending lag, and the poor range makes it an unsafe move to use for the most part, although it is Wario's fastest smash attack at 8 frames. Due to the move's weak power, poor range, high ending lag, and being extremely unsafe on shield, it is one of the worst down smashes in the game as it carries very high risk while offering very low reward in return. 
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|6}} (hit 1, early/late, body), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hit 1, late, arms), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 2; early) {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 2; late)
|nairdesc=Wario inflates his belly and spins in the air with his arms and legs spread wide. Very fast startup, coming out on frame 4. The attack has two hits, further divided between a clean hit and late hit that act independently from each other. Unlike the second hit, which only has a hitbox on Wario's belly, the first hit has two additional hitboxes that cover his arms as well. Both hits can combo into each other at low and mid percents if Wario moves back and forth in the air, and has almost no ending lag, as he can act just 4 frames after the hitboxes cease, making it an excellent tool for combos and racking up damage. The late hit can lead to another aerial and even Wario Waft. It autocancels at frame 43, immediately after the hitboxes cease. Visually similar to Wario's crouch-jump from {{s|mariowiki|Virtual Boy Wario Land}} and {{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}.
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4.5}} (late)
|fairdesc=A quick kick forwards. The first few frames do more damage and knockback. Low knockback and poor range, lacking a hitbox on the tip of the foot, but starts up very fast, making it useful for gimping or escaping pressure, as well as being a decent poking tool. The late hit can lock and also combos easily into other aerials at low percents. It autocancels in a short hop.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}}
|bairdesc=Wario propels his head backward. A viable KO move as it is his strongest aerial knockback-wise. It also has relatively quick startup at frame 9 and sends at a somewhat low angle, but it has high ending lag and Wario can be hit, as his head enlarges and then slightly moves around. Autocancels if used at the peak a short hop.
|uairname=Hand Slap
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}}
|uairdesc=Wario claps his hands and feet together in mid-air. His strongest aerial damage-wise with the best vertical knockback as well. A potent combo starter. If used after a fast fall, it can lead to an aerial and Wario Waft at low-mid percents. It also possesses a large hitbox and is disjointed due to the hands not having a hurtbox. Fast for its power, coming out on frame 8, but has 38 frames of ending lag, which can make it punishable.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1.3}} (hits 1-6), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 7)
|dairdesc=Wario puts his hands above his head and spins while upside down, drilling with his hands and head. The last hit has powerful diagonal knockback that can KO at high percents. When landing with it before the final hit, it can often lead to a half waft, albeit not on heavier characters due to lack of hitstun. If the move fails to connect into the subsequent hits, it can also weakly [[meteor smash]] the opponent, although it cannot get stronger due to its set knockback. The move is visually similar to Wario's animation upon getting a birdie in {{s|mariowiki|Mario Golf (GBC)}}.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=Grabs the opponent by the torso with one hand. Based on his one-handed grabs in the ''Wario Land'' series.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=1.6%
|pummeldesc=Pokes the opponent in the gut with his index finger. Likely based on the "Touch" themed microgames from the ''WarioWare'' series.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=8% (throw), 4% (collateral)
|fthrowdesc=Launches the opponent forward with his rear-end. Can kill lightweights at higher percents, but struggles to kill mid and heavyweights. Also Wario's highest damage throw, useful for damage racking.
|bthrowname=Wild Swing Ding
|bthrowdmg=7% (throw), 8% (collateral)
|bthrowdesc=The {{s|mariowiki|Wild Swing Ding}} attack from ''Wario World''. Grabs the opponent by the legs, spins them around three times and launches them behind himself, damaging those who come in contact with the spin, which can be good for getting opponents away if in a match with more than 2 characters. Despite being similar to Mario's back throw, it is surprisingly weak in damage and knockback, being unviable for killing.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=4% (throw), 4% (collateral)
|uthrowdesc=Wario tosses the opponent up and punches them upwards with enlarged fists. Can link into up airs at low to mid percents.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=7% (throw), 4% (collateral)
|dthrowdesc=Throws the opponent on the ground and slams them with his rear end. Hits the opponent at a low angle behind Wario, which can lead to follow-ups via reading the opponent's options afterward. The move and exaggerated animation are based on the ground pound move from ''Wario Land'' and ''Wario World''.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Wario gets up and pokes his finger both forwards and backward. A potential reference to the "Touch" themed microgames from the ''WarioWare'' series.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Wario spins around, punching with his fist extended.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Wario thrusts his fists in front of him, then kicks his legs behind him.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=10%
|edgedesc=Crawls up the ledge and flips onto his back, attacking with his fists. Among the fastest ledge attacks in the game.
|nsname=Chomp
|nsdmg=2.4% (each bite), 5% (throw), 0.6% (self-heal), 13% (eating explosive), 3.6% (explosive self-damage)
|nsdesc=Wario opens his mouth and closes it upon the opponent, chewing on those who are caught, healing 0.6% damage per bite. It has long range and very fast startup (8 frames). It can be used to consume items and projectiles, healing 1% damage from items, and a third of the damage by a projectile's base damage. Eating explosives will cause them to detonate inside of Wario, harming him, but the explosion will damage nearby foes, providing good knockback. Healing items consumed with Chomp heal 1.5x more damage than normal. Consuming items lessens the time necessary to charge the Wario Waft. Based on the {{s|mariowiki|Hot Dog Hog}} microgame from the ''WarioWare'' series and the {{s|mariowiki|Hyper Suction}} move from ''Wario World''.
|ssname=Wario Bike
|ssdmg=0.6%-11.2% (ram, varies depending on acceleration and timing, full speed consistently deals 11.2%), 8.3% (wheelie beginning, can combo with ram), 5% (wheelie), 13% (wheelie ground slam), 7% (turn), 3% (turn late, can hit twice), 3.5% (jumped off)
|ssdesc=Wario climbs aboard his trademark Wario Bike and races around the stage, damaging opponents in his path. During this, from frame 1, Wario gains a small amount of knockback-based [[armor]], able to take up to 20 units of [[knockback]]. Tilting the opposite direction on the ground will make him turn around, dealing damage and killing at high percents, and tilting in the air can adjust the angle of the Wario Bike and his jump afterward. Holding up will produce a wheelie, and pressing down during a wheelie makes the bike perform an extremely powerful ground slam.

After dismounting the bike, Wario can destroy it, throw it at opponents, or eat it with Chomp. The bike has 18 HP and is unaffected by the [[1v1 multiplier]]. When thrown, the Wario Bike can launch opponents a fair distance, even KO'ing them at high percents. In the air, the bike gives a small initial vertical hop along with a free jump via dismounting it.

After losing the Wario Bike, Wario cannot summon another bike for 6 seconds, and only if he touches the ground again. If the player tries to do so before the cooldown ends or a Bike is already out, not within his reach, Wario will instead look helplessly around the stage for his bike. The look animation can be canceled if landing on the ground after initiating it in the air, or performing it in the air and reaching maximum fall speed.
|usname=Corkscrew
|usdmg=5% (first hit), 1%-1.5% (hits 2-5), 4% (final hit)
|usdesc=Wario launches himself into the air, hitting enemies multiple times while spinning. The final hit has decent diagonal knockback with the hands, KO'ing at high percents. Wario's body has a hitbox that launches up, although is very difficult to hit due to the hand hitboxes taking priority. The move can be steered diagonally left or right. Possibly based on the {{s|mariowiki|Corkscrew Conk}} from ''Wario World''. While both moves feature vertical ascension, the two moves are different visually.
|dsname=Wario Waft
|dsdmg=0% (no charge), 12%-15.5% (minor charge), 20%-29.9% (moderate charge), 27% (maximum charge), 20% (maximum charge headbutt)
|dsdesc=Flatulence that grows in strength and knockback the longer it goes unused. Its charge cannot be lost in any way without using the move itself. By Chomping items, the Wario Waft charges faster by 1.5 seconds. There are 4 levels of charge, all with varying effects: at no charge, the waft will always trip opponents but deals no damage and is the slowest waft (frame 16), the second level is the second slowest (frame 10), the third level (half-charged) is the fastest (frame 8) and has good KO potential, and the fully charged waft deals the most damage and knockback, has a huge hitbox below and super armor (frame 4-13), and also sends Wario flying upwards with a headbutt that has equally powerful KO potential, although is slower than the third level of charge (frame 12). If the fully charged waft is used near the upper blast line, Wario will be KO'd by the upper blast line.
|fsname=Wario-Man
|fsdmg= 10% (tackle), 20.8% (successive hits; 1.3% each), 12% (fart), 10% (release), 52.8% (total)
|fsdesc=Wario consumes a bulb of garlic and propels himself into his opponents. If the move connects, Wario transforms into the masked anti-hero, Wario Man from the ''WarioWare'' series and splits himself into multiple copies, dealing a series of blows to opponents caught into the attack. The final blow is delivered by an explosive fart that launches the opponents, KO'ing them at mid to high percents. The strength of the final fart is not affected by the charge of Wario's down special.

==In competitive play==

Since the beginning of ''Ultimate'''s metagame, Wario was commonly said to be superior to his previous iterations due to his more consistent KO options, his already fast speed being further increased, and his stronger, more reliable combo game. His waft is also notorious as a comeback mechanic for closing out stocks when in a dire or last stock situation. Wario also benefits from having a frame 3 jumpsquat greatly as he can now make more use out of his air game.

Unlike in ''Smash 4'' where Wario's results diminished as the metagame went on, he has maintained the same level of success from all of his top players. {{Sm|Tweek}}, in particular, has won several majors with the character, winning {{Trn|Let's Make Moves}}, {{Trn|Glitch 6}}, {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}, and {{Trn|Glitch 8}}. {{Sm|Glutonny}} is also the best player in Europe by a large margin, having won almost every European major and placing consistently high at majors in North America, most notably finishing 3rd at {{Trn|EVO 2019}} with the character. Japan developed Wario's potential even further as he is one of the most represented characters in Japan, with many players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|kameme}}, and {{Sm|Nietono}} using him as a main or secondary. Due to his dominance across the world, opinions on Wario have been extremely positive as {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Marss}}, and {{Sm|VoiD}} believe that the character is among top 5 in the game with {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|Tea}} claiming that he is the absolute best character in the game.

===Notable players===

<!--If you are planning to add a player you consider to be notable, please provide tournament results in some shape or form in the edit summary (be it a link to a results thread or bracket of placing high in a tournament of other notable players or a video of them beating a notable player). Winning tournaments without notable players present is generally not enough to warrant a spot.-->

=={{SSBU|Classic Mode}}: I'm-a Gonna Win!==
[[File:SSBU Congratulations Wario.png|thumb|Wario's congratulations screen.]]
All of Wario's opponents are champions who utilize brute strength and hard, heavy-hitting attacks, much like Wario himself. The only base roster heavy characters absent are {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} and {{SSBU|Bowser}}.

While the English title refers to Wario's catchphrase in the international version of ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 64}}'': "I'm-a Wario! I'm-a gonna win!", the Japanese title ({{ja|オレ様怪力ナンバーワン！|Ore-sama kairiki nanbā wan!}}) more accurately reflects the theme of the route, translating roughly to "My super strength is number one!"

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-30Wario.jpg|thumb|Finding Wario in World of Light|left]]
Although Wario does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, he was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

Wario was one of the many fighters that fell under [[Dharkon]]'s control upon Galeem's first defeat. He can be found in the {{b|Dracula's Castle|World of Light}} sub-area. A switch must be pressed to change the orientation of the lever blocking him.

==[[Spirit]]s==
Wario's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Wario in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His classic outfit has a fighter spirit of its own, available through the shop. Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

Wario also makes an appearance as a legend-class primary spirit as his alter ego, Wario-Man.

==Trivia==
*Wario's entry on the Japanese Super Smash Blog was on August 2nd, 2018, the same day ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare Gold}}'' was released in Japan.
*Wario's buttons on his overalls in the E3 video, his showcase video, and one of his website screenshots were incorrectly gold, as opposed to their usual white. However, in the final game, the error was corrected.
*Wario, along with {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} and {{SSBU|Incineroar}}, each have a Classic Mode route that consists almost entirely of super-heavyweight fighters.
*One of the Japanese website screenshots that show Wario using his neutral aerial shows him doing the move with an angry expression on his face, which was changed in the final release with Wario having a happy expression while using the move.
*Despite receiving non-English voice actors in non-English versions of ''WarioWare Gold'', Wario is still voiced by Charles Martinet in all versions of ''Ultimate''.
*Wario's overalls outfit has odd properties with his face in covering textures such as [[ink]] and the [[Metal Box]]'s activation, with his face being covered instantly by these instead of gradually.
*Prior to 8.0.0, Wario's forward throw did not work correctly on {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} due to the first hit not connecting properly.
*Wario and R.O.B. are the only first-party sole fighters of their series that can be found in the Dark Realm.
*In Wario's biker outfit, because his jacket has been given more physics-based movement, certain animations will cause it to disconnect, exposing a gap underneath his arm.
