'''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]].
'''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.
 
As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Charles Martinet}}'s portrayal of Wario from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.<!--Do not add that this is the last Smash Bros. game where Charles Martinet voices Wario. Besides the fact this isn't done for other characters' pages, Jigglypuff and Lucina still use their voice clips from Rachael Lillis and Laura Bailey respectively in the Smash series instead of their current actors, so it's still possible for Martinet's voice to be reused in future Smash games-->
 
Wario is currently ranked 20th out of 82 characters on the current ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]], being in the A tier; a massive improvement from his tier placement in ''Smash 4'' where he was ranked 40th out of 54 in the E tier, and is his best placement in the series. Wario's greatest strength is his aerial game: he has one of the fastest [[air acceleration]] and [[air speed]] in the game which, coupled with a set of strong and versatile aerials, allows him to dominate in the air. In addition, his strong aerial movement and short stature makes it harder for opponents to hit him, while his heavyweight status and passive healing through [[Chomp]] allows him to live longer compared to the rest of the cast. Finally, Wario is also notorious for his combo potential, which can not only rack up damage quickly but also set up into a KO confirm, most notably [[Wario Waft]]. As such, Wario has some of the best comeback potential in the game.
 
Despite these strengths, Wario has several weaknesses that hold him back. The most notable weakness is his poor [[neutral game]]: his relatively short range and lack of projectiles make him vulnerable towards characters that can overwhelm, juggle, or outrange him. In addition, Wario's best KO options all have their drawbacks: his forward tilt, back air, and all his smash attacks have either high end lag or slow startup while dash attack has noticeable sourspots. Finally, whiffing Waft means Wario loses his best comeback factor, as it can take a bit to even get to half-Waft.
 
Overall, Wario's strengths largely overshadow his weaknesses. Although very popular in the early metagame, subsequent nerfs via patch updates shrank his playerbase at a top level. However, he remained a viable character with decent representation, in particular amassing consistently high results from {{Sm|Glutonny}},  Europe’s best and one of the best ''Ultimate'' players in the world.
 
==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]].
Wario must then be defeated on [[WarioWare, Inc.]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).
 
==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, with limited killing ability as well. 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.
 
Despite having a variety of KO moves, Wario can have a difficult time landing them. Firstly, he is 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 with deceptively short range, 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. His other KO moves such as his Back aerial, forward tilt and Dash attack also suffer from being sluggish or predictable on top of lacking legitimate kill throws as his forward throw has had its knockback reduced from its previous iteration. This means Wario can often be reliant on [[Wario Waft]] for an easier, early KO and is left with a more difficult process of finishing off opponents should it miss.
 
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]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Possibly due to his lower tier status in ''Smash 4'' (41st out of 55 characters), Wario has been significantly buffed in his transition to ''Ultimate''. His combo game has been strengthened drastically, and the changes to gameplay mechanics benefit both the aggressive and patient sides of his playstyle.
===Aesthetics===
 
*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''SSB4'', Wario's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing now features simple detailing, similar to ''[[Brawl]]''. His model otherwise appears unchanged.}}
Wario has received both direct and indirect changes that grant him a much more dangerous offensive game, which he previously did not boast about in previous installments. His [[neutral aerial]] has been altered, possessing more range, both hits lingering for much longer, and the move now having an extremely lenient amount of ending lag of only four frames; while [[up tilt]] has had its knockback reduced to the point that, despite losing all of its KO power, has gained drastically more combo potential at low to mid-percentages. These two moves are now some of the game's best combo starters, with their late hits leading into a repertoire of moves even at high percentages. The power of his moveset has also been strengthened overall; most notably, his new [[forward tilt]], [[back aerial]] and new [[dash attack]] all deal greater knockback; the former also has more range that's disjointed, allowing it to [[edge|2 frame punish]] with more ease when angled, and the latter can be used as an effective [[tech-chasing]] tool. [[Chomp]] now has actual KO potential and heals damage from Wario when biting an opponent or eating projectiles, overall improving his already good survivability. [[Wario Bike]] now possesses actual knockback, allowing it to be used situationally as a projectile.
*{{change|The buttons on Wario's default overalls are now gold; in previous titles, they were silver.}}
 
The changes to the game's engine benefit Wario. As with the rest of the cast, Wario's overall mobility has been improved, with his faster grounded and aerial mobility, and streamlined 3-frame jumpsquat, allowing for a safer approach and utilization of his strong aerial game; the former change also allows Wario to camp opponents and build up his [[Wario Waft]], while the latter change gives him a more viable [[out of shield]] game. Directional [[air dodge]]s also add a new option to his already great and versatile recovery. The universal lower landing lag on aerial attacks benefits Wario the most, as this has granted his neutral, [[forward aerial|forward]] and [[up aerial]]s more reliable combo potential such as into his other aerials and, most infamously, Wario Waft.
 
In spite of this, Wario did receive a few notorious nerfs to his best moves in ''SSB4''. Wario Bike, similarly to its ''Brawl'' incarnation, can no longer be used immediately after despawning or being destroyed, forcing Wario to wait six seconds before it can be used again, which limits Wario's recovery should he end up offstage while its cooldown is in effect. [[Forward throw]], previously his only throw with consistently good KO potential, is much weaker due to its redistributed damage output; this hinders his grab game, as he no longer has any reasonably viable kill throws, and forces him to rely on Chomp to KO an opponent. Finally, game updates have caused Wario Waft's higher levels of charge to possess slower startup, impairing their usage as standalone moves such as out of shield, though the move still retains its fear factor through Wario's newfound combo game allowing it to confirm into it. Wario also retains a few weaknesses from ''SSB4'', notably a vulnerability to camping.
 
Overall, Wario has become a more reliable "lightning bruiser", with an intrincate combo game that can lead into devastatingly low percentage KOs as well as having more reliable kill power at high percentages, though at the cost of a few of his tools from the previous game being toned down. Game updates have watered down a bit the effectiveness of Wario's kit, but they haven't dramatically impacted his viability. All in all, his buffs outweigh his nerfs, and he is a much better character in stark contrast to his mediocre ''SSB4'' iteration.
 
{{SSB4 to SSBU changelist|char=Wario}}
 
==Update history==
Wario received buffs, nerfs and a few glitch fixes, but was nerfed overall. Update 2.0.0 made Wario grab the ledge sooner after using down aerial. Update 3.0.0 brought slight buffs to Chomp, increasing its swallow box size and giving it less ending lag after eating a small projectile. 3.0.0 also made it so Wario would flash yellow when Wario Bike was ready to use again. Update 8.0.0 fixed Wario's forward throw so that the hitbox no longer blatantly misses characters like Ganondorf, and lowered the ending lag when Wario ate food using Chomp. Update 9.0.0 buffed Corkscrew so that now it links more reliably and deals more damage overall.
 
While most changes were negligible, patch 11.0.0 affected Wario the most. His up tilt was given less active frames, and the third and max level of Wario Waft have more startup and ending lag. Though as compensation, the super armor on the max Waft now starts earlier and lasts longer. All these changes together nerfed one of Wario's notoriously dangerous and easiest set-ups, and making Wario Waft less effective overall.
 
Update 13.0.1 graced Wario with small buffs for one last time, making his neutral attack deal more damage (to the point that it is tied for the third most damaging non-infinite neutral attack in the game) and have less ending lag.
 
While Wario was made a somewhat less effective character overall, it was not enough to massively dent Wario's status and prowess in competitive play, and Wario is still seen as a top tier character with fantastic results to this day.

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=2
|neutralname=Fist ({{ja|げんこつ|Genkotsu}}) / Jaw Smash ({{ja|あごくだき|Ago Kudaki}})
|neutral1dmg=5%
|neutral2dmg=7%
|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.
|ftiltname=Slap ({{ja|ひっぱたき|Hippataki}})
|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=Banzai Hit ({{ja|ばんざいヒット|Banzai Hitto}})
|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=Cockroach Crusher ({{ja|ゴキブリつぶし|Gokiburi Tsubushi}})
|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.
|dashname=Shoulder Tackle ({{ja|ショルダータックル|Shorudā Takkuru}})
|dashdmg=11% (clean), 5% (late/early, body)
|dashdesc=Wario performs his signature {{iw|mariowiki|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=Full-Power Back Knuckle ({{ja|全力バックナックル|Zenryoku Bakku Nakkuru}})
|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=Big Head ({{ja|ビッグヘッド|Biggu Heddo}})
|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=Wario Spin ({{ja|ワリオスピン|Wario Supin}})
|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=Overweight Body ({{ja|メタボボディ|Metabo Bodi}})
|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=Pig's Foot Kick ({{ja|とんそくキック|Tonsoku Kikku}})
|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. It may be based on his aerial kick in {{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}.
|bairname=Falling Headbutt ({{ja|たおれずつき|Taore Zutsuki}})
|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 ({{ja|ハンドパッチン|Hando Patchin}})
|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=Upside-Down Drill ({{ja|さかさまドリル|Sakasama Doriru}})
|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=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=Reaches out with one hand.
|pummelname=Grab Poke-Poke ({{ja|つかみつんつん|Tsukami Tsuntsun}})
|pummeldmg=1.6%
|pummeldesc=Pokes the opponent with his index finger. Slow but strong.
|fthrowname=Heavy Buttocks ({{ja|ヘビーどんけつ|Hebī Donketsu}})
|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 ({{ja|ジャイアントスイング|Jaianto Suingu}}, ''Giant Swing'')
|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=Double Punch ({{ja|ダブルパンチ|Daburu Panchi}})
|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=Butt Press ({{ja|しりプレス|Shiri Puresu}})
|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.
|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. Just like in previous games, Wario can taunt on the bike.
 
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.
|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.

''See also: [[:Category:Wario players (SSBU)]]''
 
*{{Sm|Abadango|Japan}} - Known for using a variety of characters throughout his ''Ultimate'' career, specifically using Wario in the second half of 2019, during the peak of his ''Ultimate'' career. He was considered one of the best Wario players in Japan during this time following a string of noteworthy performances both in and outside of Japan, which includes his victory at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}}, where he used Wario for most of top 8; his 5th-place finish at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}} using mostly Wario; and his 9th-place finish at {{Trn|EVO 2019}} using only Wario.
*{{Sm|crêpe salée|France}} - One of the best European players in the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic]] metagame. He began competing as a Wario player, achieving recognition in Europe throughout 2022 as the second-best Wario player in Europe after Glutonny. He eventually picked up {{SSBU|Steve}} in 2023, and has since become more recognized as a Steve player; however, he maintains Wario as a secondary and counterpick, and remains the second-best Wario player in Europe, having used Wario to defeat {{Sm|Zomba}} at {{Trn|Tera}} and {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}} at {{Trn|Supernova 2024}}.
*{{Sm|Glutonny|France}} - The greatest European player, and by far the greatest Wario player, of all-time, having been ranked among the game's best players for many seasons. Although not the first Wario player to win a major, he is the one with the most major wins, and is the only one to win a major in the post-pandemic metagame. In addition, he is one of three players who have won a major in all three of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s superregions, having won {{Trn|Albion 4}} in Europe, {{Trn|Pound 2022}} in North America, and {{Trn|UltCore Second}} in Japan.
*{{Sm|Huto|Japan}} - The best Wario player in Japan after Wario's nerfs, having been playing Wario since the start of the post-pandemic metagame, aside from a period in 2022 when he primarily played {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}. He is the only Wario player outside of Glutonny to place top 8 at a major in the post-pandemic metagame, having placed 5th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}} and 7th at both {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}} and {{Trn|Seibugeki 12}}. However, he is also known to be somewhat inconsistent, and as such, was never globally ranked in the top 50, much less as high as Glutonny.
*{{Sm|kameme|Japan}} - Though he is much better known for using {{SSBU|Mega Man}}, he frequently uses Wario as a secondary or a counterpick in matchups that are less favorable to Mega Man. He most notably used Wario as a counterpick against {{Sm|Tea}}, defeating him at both {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}} and {{Trn|2GG: SwitchFest 2019}} to win both events. In addition, he also won {{Trn|2GG: Grand Tour - South Carolina}} using Wario for most of top 8. He eventually dropped Wario after his nerfs, and has seldom used him since.
*{{Sm|loaf|USA}} - The best Wario player in North America in the post-pandemic metagame. He was first known for placing 13th at {{Trn|Riptide}}, and has since seen some other noteworthy performances at major/supermajor events, including placing 13th at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2024}}. He is better known for his performances at regional/superregional events, which includes placing 4th at {{Trn|Dragun House Monthly (December Edition 2023)}} defeating {{Sm|MuteAce}} and {{Sm|Kurama}}, placing 7th at {{Trn|The Big House 11}}, and his win over {{Sm|Umeki}} at {{Trn|GENESIS: BLACK at Guildhouse}}.
*{{Sm|Tweek|USA}} - One of the greatest ''Ultimate'' players of all-time, as well as the second-greatest Wario player of all-time and the best Wario player in the early metagame. He was the first Wario player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|Let's Make Moves}}, and eventually won four other majors with him throughout 2019, most notably {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}} and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}}. He eventually dropped Wario after his nerfs, though he had on occasion pulled out Wario as a counterpick with little success.
*{{Sm|Zackray|Japan}} - Although much better known for his performances with other characters, he notably briefly used Wario in 2019 and 2021. He is best known for winning {{Trn|Eastern Powerhouse Invitational FINAL}}, using Wario for most of the group stage, and placing 4th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}} with mostly Wario.
 
===Tier placement and history===
Wario in ''Ultimate'' is widely considered 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. In addition, Wario greatly benefited from having a frame 3 jumpsquat, as he can now make more use out of his air game. Finally, Wario Waft became notorious as a comeback mechanic for closing out stocks when in a dire or last stock situation, and there were several moves that could set up to it at early-to-mid percents. As such, Wario was widely considered one of the best characters in the early metagame, with many players ranking him among the top 5. Wario's representation was also rather large at a national level; notably, four different players had won a major using Wario in crucial sets during this period. These players include {{Sm|Tweek}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}, who were two of the best players in the world during this period.
 
Nerfs to Wario's up tilt and Waft hindered several of his setups into the Waft, making it harder to hit compared to before. In addition, metagame shifts were also less favorable towards Wario, as more characters with an oppressive gameplan became more common in competitive play. The nerfs and metagame shifts led to a noticeable decline in Wario's top-level representation as many of his veteran players dropped him, most notably Tweek. As such, Wario's position in the metagame began to fall as the community agreed that he was not as strong as he once was. On the other hand, many players pointed out how Glutonny's performances, despite fluctuating from time-to-time, were overall just as good if not better than his earlier results, proving that Wario's nerfs were not as severe as once perceived. In addition, newer Wario players also rose into the spotlight, most notably {{Sm|Huto}} in Japan, {{Sm|loaf}} in North America, and {{Sm|crêpe salée}} in Europe. As such, Wario remained a viable pick in the metagame, and was ranked 24th on the first tier list as a high tier and 20th on the second tier list in the middle of A-tier; although Wario was not as prevalent as the early metagame, dedicated mains have continued to keep his representation afloat in the current metagame.
 
=={{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 default fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Wario. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Wario has been unlocked. 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 {{b|ink|status}} 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.
*In early builds of ''Ultimate'', when playing World of Light, if Wario were to be hit with a move that inflicts any hitstun, half of a second pupil can be seen on the outer part of his eyes.
