'''Wario''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018. Wario is classified as fighter #30.

As in ''[[Smash 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Wario from ''[[Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Samus}} or any character in her unlock tree, being the seventh character unlocked after {{SSBU|Cloud}}.

With the exception of the third method, Wario must then be defeated on [[WarioWare, Inc.]]

Wario is a highly agile [[weight|heavyweight]] fighter with great aerial control and speed. While he isn't particularly fast on the ground, his ability to weave in and out of his opponent's space with aerial movement is a significant aspect of his character, along with the fact that he isn't particularly large like most characters in his weight class.  

Furthermore, Wario boasts strong aerials, with his down and back aerials being potent kill moves, and his up aerial being a highly damaging juggling and combo tool. With the newly reduced universal jump squat, 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 makes him 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 the latter is extremely laggy and more for hard reads. His up and down tilts are great combo tools that could potentially lead to a kill move, and his new shoulder tackle dash attack is both extremely fast and one of the strongest dash attacks in the game.  

While his grabs themselves have poor speed, they are generally very damaging, with his up throw even being able to combo into his up aerial. While Wario's attacks are slightly more on the slow and strong side, his incredible mobility and high weight allow him to overwhelm his opponents through smart reads and tricky movements.

Wario's specials are unorthodox and a huge source of his strength. [[Chomp]] is a fast and short ranged command grab that heals him if he lands it, boosting his already high survivability. It also has the potential to kill near the ledge and absorb items and projectiles which will heal him and charge his [[Wario Waft]]. The Waft is perhaps his most significant move, because with time, it is a highly damaging kill move with extremely fast start up. With the Waft in his arsenal, any match can be turned around with the right read. The [[Wario Bike]] is an important but risky move with many strengths and weaknesses. It can be used to surprise unsuspecting players as an approach tool that can blow past some projectiles, dismounted and thrown as 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, can have it thrown back at him, and if it is destroyed he must wait 6 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).

For all of his strengths, Wario does have several weaknesses to counterbalance them. He has poor range and lacks projectile attacks outside of a dismounted Wario Bike, and thus must take a risk whenever he wants to do damage. And while his bike recovery can go a far distance, it is fairly easy to gimp him when he does it, so the Wario player has to be careful with when and how he uses it. Also, while Wario does have some fast moves, he is certainly slower and heavier on average than most characters that share his weakness of having poor range, so he can sometimes be overwhelmed in the [[neutral game|neutral]] against small characters with good range like {{SSBU|Olimar}}. Wario will have to use his high mobility to bait his opponents into making mistakes and capitalize on them with his highly damaging combos and powerful kill moves.

Overall, Wario is a mobile and versatile heavyweight brawler character that rewards patient players that know how to use his movement and his signature Waft special to their fullest. His damage potential and kill power rewards players heavily for finding creative ways to get around his poor range and lack of projectiles, and his versatile options give players just the tools to do it.

 

While his unorthodox style makes him a less popular pick than other characters, those that use him well have found great success in competitive play.

Wario's moveset has been slightly altered to be more reflective of the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Wario Land|series}}'' series, as the series' iconic Shoulder Tackle and Ground Pound are now referenced in his dash attack and down throw respectively.

Wario has been significantly buffed in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. With a faster dash speed and higher air speed, Wario's overall mobility has been improved, allowing for both safer approaches and recovery. Directional airdodges also add a new option to his already great and versatile recovery. Changes to game mechanics have benefited him, as the universal 3-frame jumpsquat allows him to utilize his strong air game better than he previously could. Wario also received multiple new KO'ing options, most notably his new dash attack, which deals greater knockback, and can also be used as an effective [[tech-chasing]] tool. Chomp also now heals damage from Wario when biting an opponent or eating projectiles, overall improving his survivability.

Wario did receive a few nerfs however, 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.

Because of these changes, Wario has been a very high-placing character in many ''Smash Bros. Ultimate'' tournaments, due to players such as {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, and {{Sm|kameme}} utilizing him to win major tournaments such as [[Tech Republic IV]], [[Frostbite 2019]], [[Umebura Japan Major 2019]] and [[Get On My Level 2019]] as well as high place finishes at [[GENESIS 6]], [[Smash Ultimate Summit]], [[2GG: Prime Saga]] and [[Stunfest 2019]] leading many to believe that he is a top-tier character or even among the best characters in the game.

*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Wario's model features a more subdued color scheme. Similarly to his appearance in ''Brawl'', his clothing now features simple detailing.}}

*{{change|Down [[taunt]] has a more comical, "poppier" animation, and is much faster.}}

*{{change|Wario's air dodge animation is slightly different with Wario's hands now being outstretched for the duration of the dodge.}}

*{{change|Wario now begins walking forward for the victory animation involving him patting his belly, then farting. He also keeps a shocked expression throughout, and takes slightly longer to sniff and scratch his head.}}

*{{change|Wario's head no longer faces the screen in his victory animation involving his bike.}}

*{{change|When Wario is footstooled, he has a different animation. Rather than his head acting like a spring, he now instead has a more traditional footstool animation.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Wario's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 6).}}

*{{buff|Wario's [[traction]] has increased (0.07 → 0.106). However, it is much lower relative to the cast, going from the 3rd highest to the 42nd highest. Despite this, this makes it easier for him to punish out of shield.}}

*{{nerf|Back roll has more ending lag (FAF 29 → 35) and slower startup, subsequently reducing intangibility frames as well (frames 4-16 → 5-16)}}

===Ground Attacks===

**{{buff|The first hit has the [[Sakurai angle]] and deals less knockback, allowing it to connect into the second hit much easier at higher percents.}}

**{{change|Forward tilt has a different animation. It is a heavy-handed slap.}}

**{{buff|Neutral aerial has a much bigger hitbox on the first hit, and said hit has a late hit that deals 3%, which covers the entire frame gap between it and the second hit.}}

**{{nerf|Clean hit of neutral aerial's first hit deals slightly less damage (6.5% → 6.0%).}}

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial's second hit has more startup lag (frame 15 → 20).}}

**{{buff|Neutral aerial's second hit has a slightly stronger late hit near the end of the move, dealing 5%.}}

**{{buff|Neutral aerial [[auto-cancel]]s earlier (frame 44 → 43).}}

**{{buff|Back aerial has an altered animation which doesn't have Wario's head protrude as much as before, making it safer to use.}}

**{{nerf|It's initial auto-cancel window has been shortened (frames 1-5 → 1-4).}}

*{{change|[[Down aerial]] has a slight animation change, with him putting his arms around his head, his hands together in a diving pose.}}

*{{change|Wario pokes slightly upward during his [[pummel]] animation.}}

*{{change|All of Wario's [[throws]] have been altered with more exaggerated animations.}}

|neutralname= 

|neutral1dmg=4%

|neutral2dmg=5%

|neutraldesc=A one-two punch. Among one of the worst neutral attacks in the game, due to its poor damage output, startup and range, although 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}}''.

|ftiltdesc=A quick, heavy-handed slap. The move can be angled, has considerable range and is a versatile kill option at ledge, with the down angled variant hitting every single ledge hang. Also disjointed due to his hand not possessing a hurtbox.

|utiltname= 

|utiltdesc=Wario thrusts his outstretched hands upwards. Provides little knockback but is a potent combo starter, linking into many aerials and most notably, can confirm into Wario Waft. 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= 

|dtiltdesc=Wario violently pokes the ground with his index finger, damaging opponents as he does so. Provides very little knockback and can combo into aerials and ground moves, most notably Dash Attack. Also provides disjoint due to the hands lacking a hurtbox, altough 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

|dashdesc=Wario performs his signature "Shoulder Tackle" dash attack from the {{iw|mariowiki|Wario Land|series}} series. A powerful kill move with an extremely short startup at 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%.

|fsmashname= 

|fsmashdesc=Wario winds back greatly with his fist, and delivers an enormous backhanded punch. Nearly the same range as his forward tilt. Has high endlag and the slowest startup of Wario's smash attacks, but is extremely powerful. The winding back can allow moves to whiff, thus being punished by the attack.

|usmashname= 

|usmashdesc=A hard hitting, arcing headbutt. Wario's head enlarges significantly during the attack and extends upward, 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 comical amount of endlag, 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= 

|dsmashdesc=Spins on the ground thrice, bashing foes with his head. The move consists of three hits, though only one hit can connect. The first hit is capable of KO'ing at high percents while subsequent hits are much weaker. Hits most ledge hangs, although possesses high endlag, and the poor range makes it an unsafe move to use for the most part.

|nairname= 

|nairdesc=Wario inflates his belly and spins in the air with his arms and legs spread wide. Very fast startup. The attack has two separate hitboxes that act independently from each other. Both hits can combo into each other at low percents. The late hit can lead into another aerial and even Wario Waft. Visually similar to Wario's crouch-jump from {{s|mariowiki|Virtual Boy Wario Land}} and {{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}.

|fairname= 

|fairdesc=A quick kick forwards. The first few frames do more damage and knockback. Very low knockback, 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.

|bairname= 

|bairdesc=Wario propels his head backwards. A viable KO move as it is his strongest aerial knockback-wise. Also has relatively low startup and sends at a somewhat low angle. Autocancels if used immediately after a short-hop.

|uairname=Hand Slap

|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 fastfall, it can lead into an aerial and Wario Waft at low-mid percent. Also possesses disjoint due to the hands not having a hurtbox.

|dairname= 

|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 into a half waft. 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.

|grabname= 

|grabdesc=Grabs the opponent by the torso with one hand. Based on his one-handed grabs in the ''Wario Land'' series.

|pummelname= 

|pummeldesc=Pokes the opponent in the gut with his index finger. Likely based on the "Touch" themed microgames from the ''WarioWare'' series.

|fthrowname= 

|fthrowdmg=4% (throw), 8% (collateral)

|fthrowdesc=Launches the opponent forward with his rear-end. Can kill lightweights at higher percents, but struggles to kill mid and heavyweights.

|bthrowname=Wild Swing Ding

|bthrowdesc=The {{s|mariowiki|Wild Swing Ding}} attack from ''Wario World''. Grabs the opponent by the legs, spins them around three times and launches him/her 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.

|uthrowname= 

|uthrowdesc=Wario tosses the opponent up and punches them upwards with enlarged fists. Can link into up airs at low and low-mid percents.

|dthrowname= 

|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. The move and exaggerated animation are based on the ground pound move from ''Wario Land'' and ''Wario World''.

|floorfdesc=Wario gets up and pokes his finger both forwards and backwards. A potential reference to the "Touch" themed microgames from the ''WarioWare'' series.

|edgedesc=Crawls up the ledge and flips onto his back, attacking with his fists.

|nsdesc=Wario opens his mouth and closes it upon the opponent, chewing on those who are caught, healing 0.6% damage per bite. Has a long range and very fast startup. 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. 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''.

|ssdesc=Wario climbs aboard his trademark Wario Bike and races around the stage, damaging opponents in his path. 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 afterwards. 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. 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 until 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 cancelled if landing on the ground after initiating it in the air.

|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.

|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 the second slowest (frame 10), the third level (half-charged) is the fastest (frame 5) and has good KO potential, and the fully charged waft deals the most damage and knockback, has a huge hitbox and armor (frame 5-10), 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 9).

|fsname=Wario Man

|fsdmg= 10% (tackle), 20.8% (successive hits; 1.3% each), 12% (fart), 10% (release), 52.8% (total)  

===[[Taunts]]===

*'''Up taunt''': Belly-laughs so hard that his jaw unhinges, and has to manually close his mouth with his hands.

*'''Side taunt''': Wiggles his butt at the screen with his hands extended in each direction while snickering.

*'''Down taunt''': Faces the screen and shouts "Wah!" three times, with the third "Wah!" having the most enthusiasm. For each "Wah!" Wario holds up three fingers that form a "W" (his initials), first with his left hand, then his right, then both hands at the same time.

*Crosses his arms, fists clenched.

*Scratches his bottom while looking towards the screen.

*Pats his belly, then farts, sniffs his behind, and scratches his head, saying "Ooh!" in surprise.

*Does donuts with his motorcycle, stops facing the screen saying "Yes." plucks the end of his mustache, and holds up three fingers in the shape of a W.

*Laughs uncontrollably, falling on the ground and laughing still.

All of Wario's opponents are champions who utilize brute strength and hard, heavy-hitting attacks, much like Wario himself.  

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 (オレ様怪力ナンバーワン！) more accurately reflects the theme of the route, translating roughly to "My super strength is number one!"

Wario's default Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. Both the default and alternate Fighter Spirits are also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. As Fighter Spirits, they cannot be used in Spirit Battles and are purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

Wario also makes an appearance as a Primary Spirit as his alter ego, Wario-Man.

===Character Showcase Video===

*Wario and {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} are the only playable antagonists that are not fought by their respective main protagonists in {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. However, both characters are anti-heroes to some degree, as Wario has performed some heroic deeds in the ''Wario Land'' series despite his generally coarse attitude.
