The '''''Wario'' universe''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') refers to the ''Smash Bros.'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties concerning the subfranchise of the world-famous {{uv|Mario}} game franchise centered on series anti-hero [[Wario]]. Wario's franchise is split into two major subseries, ''{{iw|mariowiki|Wario Land|series}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|WarioWare|Series}}''. ''Wario Land'' is a series of platformers with cartoonish mayhem, bizarre humor and somewhat unsettling imagery, being a more deranged take on the normally cheery and child-friendly ''Mario'' archetype, whereas ''WarioWare'' is a series consisting of collections of many fast-paced and quirky "microgames", minigames lasting only a few seconds that are played in rapid succession, with many paying homage to Nintendo's other franchises and lesser-known titles. Wario's appearance in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, as well as that of related content, primarily represent the ''WarioWare'' series, though over time more representation of ''Wario Land'', mainly in the form of minor content, has been added as well.

==Franchise description==
In mid-1989, early in the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' franchise]]'s release history, [[Nintendo]] released the Game Boy platformer ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Land}}'', in which [[Mario]] traveled to a far-off land to rescue [[Princess Daisy]]. This gave way to a subseries of handheld platformers; the second game in the series, ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins}}'', which was released for the Game Boy in late 1992, debuted a new antagonist that resembled a larger, portlier, more thuggish counterpart to Mario, [[Wario]]. Wario, originally presented in a more straightforward, villainous light, takes over {{s|mariowiki|Mario's castle}} while Mario is away; then, once Mario returns, he must go on a quest to collect the six titular {{s|mariowiki|coin}}s that are the keys to his castle in order to defeat Wario and reclaim it from him. Wario, for a time, then became a recurring ''Mario'' villain. ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Wario}}'' (a Japan-only release for Super Famicom by Game Freak in 1993) and ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario's Woods}}'' (released in the West in December 1994) both featured Wario enacting revenge plots against Mario and his friends. In one of Nintendo's first crossovers with a third-party franchise, ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman}}'', a Game Boy installment of the Hudson Soft franchise {{uv|Bomberman}}, the Bomberman must prevent Wario from plundering his home planet.

Wario was then permanently assigned a new role and outlook in the ''Mario'' universe, which is the one that still defines him to this day - that of a less malicious anti-hero motivated by a comically insatiable greed. Like [[Yoshi]] and [[Yoshi (universe)|his own relevance in the ''Mario'' games]], Wario forever became part of the collection of recurring ''Mario'' side characters that would take part in a variety of ''Mario'' games, such as being a playable character in the ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart|Series}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party|series}}'' and a major playable character in other ''Mario'' spin-off titles, while at the same time beginning to star in his own games.

The "third" game in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Land|Series}}'' subseries, ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3}}'', became the first game in the ''Wario Land'' series of platforming titles for various platforms, a series which established a style of platforming different from the familiar ''Mario'' formula of jumping and bouncing on enemies through focusing more on physical attacks such as running tackles. The scenarios in ''Wario'' platforming games typically center around Wario's greed-motivated adventures and the incidental deeds of goodness he commits for others while doing so, such as defeating a more threatening villain in his quest to claim the reward money. Early in his own games, Wario briefly had an equally greedy rival of his own, a female pirate named {{s|mariowiki|Captain Syrup}}, who had only recently made a return appearance in 2008's ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}'' (known as ''Wario Land: The Shake Dimension'' in European languages) from Good-Feel (the most recent ''Wario''-centric platformer) after a decade of absence.

Starting in 2003, Wario received a complete rebranding of his character when he starred in a more deranged, parodic, borderline scatological series of minigame collections entitled ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare}}'', alongside an all-new cast of bizarre side characters and a very different twist on the established minigame collection formula. This subseries began as an idea for a Nintendo 64DD title, ''Mario Artist: Polygon Studio'', in which the player would sometimes complete short minigames in quick succession before being interesting enough to expand into its own game on the Game Boy Advance. The developers at Nintendo R&D1 tentatively chose Wario as the star because he "was always doing stupid things and was really idiotic" according to ''Metroid'' producer Yoshio Sakamoto, before settling on him as the permanent mascot for the series. Intelligent Systems have mantled the series ever since the second installment, with programmer Kazuyoshi Ohsawa going on to create the {{uv|Rhythm Heaven}} series, which has a similar aesthetic to and frequently crosses over with ''WarioWare''.

In these games, Wario gets the idea to acquire vast richess by founding his own video game company to capitalize on the medium's success. To achieve this, he also calls up all of his friends from his hometown, {{s|mariowiki|Diamond City}}, to program hundreds of extremely simple games for him to maximize profits. The gameplay itself resembles an extended rapid barrage of extremely simple "microgames", each lasting mere seconds and taking no more than one or several appropriately timed button presses to complete, and the number of microgames a player can complete before failing a set number of times is set as their high score. The microgames display a variety of surreal imagery, including Wario having to jump at the right time in order to avoid getting run over by a giant hot dog on wheels, successfully guiding a finger into a nostril, and reenacting classic scenes from older Nintendo games. Different installments of the series for different platforms have featured their own, unique twists to the gameplay dependent on the hardware of the console itself, each releasing either incredibly early or incredibly late in a system's lifespan. These included the tilt-controlled ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Twisted!|Twisted!]]'', the touchscreen-controlled ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Touched!|Touched!]]'', the motion-controlled ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|Smooth Moves]]'', the camera-controlled ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Snapped!|Snapped!]]'', and the creation game ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: D.I.Y.}}''. A spinoff for the Wii U, ''{{s|mariowiki|Game & Wario}}'', was released in 2013, and the next traditional entry, ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare Gold}}'', was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2018. The latest installment, ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Get It Together!}}'', released on the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Wario first became playable in 2008's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, ''WarioWare'' is recognized as Wario's home franchise, separately categorized from the ''Mario'' series in a similar fashion to {{uv|Yoshi}} and {{uv|Donkey Kong}}.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
''Wario'' was not recognized as a distinctive universe in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' nor ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', so there were neither playable characters nor stages based on the franchise in the first two installments. However, there were trophies for Wario and the {{s|mariowiki|Bucket}}. [[Wario]] was strongly considered for ''Melee's'' roster, and on a fan questionnaire on [[Smabura-Ken]], Sakurai stated that he would add Wario to ''Melee'' if he had more time to add just one more character<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return512.html</ref>. In addition, one of Mario's [[alternate costume]]s in both ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is a yellow and purple color scheme based on Wario's attire.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
''Wario'' is recognized and treated as a distinctive universe in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It focuses heavily on the ''WarioWare'' games due to their extreme popularity.

===Fighter===
*[[File:WarioIcon(SSBB).png|50px|right|link=Wario (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Wario}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): The franchise's first playable character. By default, Wario is dressed in his biker jacket as he is seen in the ''WarioWare'' series, but he also has his original plumber overalls as {{SSBB|alternate costume}}s, giving him twelve different costumes in total. Wario's down special is the [[Wario Waft]], which allows him to release gas he has built up over the match as a form of atomic flatulence. His [[Final Smash]] transforms him into [[Wario-Man]].{{clr}}

On the final character select screen (after all characters are unlocked), Wario shares a column with fellow ''Mario'' side series characters {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}, and {{SSBB|Yoshi}}.

===Stage===
*[[File:Icon-wariowareinc.gif|right|link=WarioWare, Inc.]]'''[[WarioWare, Inc.]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): Occasionally, the stage takes the player from the main "elevator" into a microgame, which they can complete to obtain a reward. Some microgames can damage or knock back characters.{{clr}}

===Assist Trophy===
*'''[[Kat & Ana]]''': These twin ninja kindergarteners use their ninja skills and slash in multiple "X" formations on the stage, damaging any foes that make contact with their attack. This is the only Assist Trophy originating from one of the ''Mario'' subseries.

===Music===
{{main|List of SSBB Music (WarioWare series)}}
====Original Tracks====
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|WarioWare, Inc.}}''': A disco-inspired rendition of the main menu theme from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$!}}'', as well as the title screen from the same game. It is the theme of the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|WarioWare, Inc. Medley}}''': A medley of a large number of songs heard in the first title of the series, ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$!'', including the opening theme, Wario's theme, as well as {{s|mariowiki|Dribble & Spitz's}} theme among others.  It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage. This song is also played during Wario's [[Classic Mode]] credits.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Ashley's Theme}}''': A big band version of the vocal theme song of Ashley in ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'' It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Ashley's Theme (JP)}}''': The same as the above song, but with Japanese lyrics. It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Mike's Song}}''': A 50's rock-and-roll version of the vocal theme song of Mike in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Mike's Song (JP)}}''': The same as the above song, but with Japanese lyrics. It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Mona Pizza's Song}}''': A fully redone version of the vocal theme song of Mona in ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Twisted!}}'' It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|WarioWare|Mona Pizza's Song (JP)}}''': The same as the above song, but with Japanese lyrics.  It is used on the WarioWare, Inc. stage.

====Victory Theme====
*'''[[Victory theme#Wario Victory Theme|Victory! Wario]]''': Shares similarities to many ''Wario'' games, featuring musical qualities from both the ''WarioWare'' series and the ''Wario'' platforming series. It would be implemented into the first stage music for the game ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Allusions were made to the ''Wario'' series prior to the release of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', but it was not revealed that Wario himself would return until after the release of {{for3ds}}, as he is now an [[unlockable character]]. As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the majority of the ''Wario'' content in ''Smash 4'' comes from the ''WarioWare'' titles. A significant amount of focus was put on the popular ''WarioWare'' character [[Ashley]], who appears as an Assist Trophy. While most of the character specific music pieces from ''Brawl'' did not return, both versions of "Ashley's Song" return, along with a brand new arrangement exclusive to Japanese releases of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. A costume set based on Ashley was released as [[downloadable content]] for {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s. Otherwise, ''Smash 4'' features content from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Game & Wario}}'', which were released between ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''.

===Fighter===
*[[File:WarioIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Wario (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Wario}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): a crude, pompous treasure-hunter from {{s|mariowiki|Diamond City}} and one of [[Mario]]'s oldest rivals. Unlike in ''Brawl'', where he was a starter character, Wario must be unlocked. Wario now has more fluid animations. The swelling of his head and hands in some of his attacks has been compared to his attacks from ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario World}}''. He now has eight alternate costumes as opposed to twelve in ''Brawl''.

===Stages===
====''for Nintendo 3DS''====
*[[File:WarioWareIncIconSSB4-3.png|75px|right|link=WarioWare, Inc.]]{{gameIcon|SSBB}}'''[[WarioWare, Inc.]]''' ([[Unlockable stage|Unlockable]]): staged in the elevator shaft of Variety Tower from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$!}}'' It is a transitionary stage where the elevator brings the fighters to one of nine microgames, five of which are from ''Mega MicroGame$!'': {{s|mariowiki|Arrow Space}}, {{s|mariowiki|Blowin' Up}}, {{s|mariowiki|Crazy Cars}}, {{s|mariowiki|Kitty Cover}},  and {{s|mariowiki|Sole Man}}. Two more - {{s|mariowiki|Lose Your Marble}} and {{s|mariowiki|Blowin' Up}} - come from ''WarioWare: Touched!''. The other two are unique to ''Smash Bros.'': Don't Move - which requires players to remain still - and Taunt - which requires players to [[taunt]] the self-obsessed {{s|mariowiki|Jimmy T.}} Successfully completing a microgame usually awards the player with a status effect that could benefit them in battle. WarioWare, Inc. is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Wario. Its [[Ω form]] is columnar.

====''for Wii U''====
*[[File:GamerIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Gamer]]'''[[Gamer]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged in {{s|mariowiki|9-Volt}}'s bedroom from ''{{s|mariowiki|Game & Wario}}''. The main platform is 9-Volt's desk, where his mother {{s|mariowiki|5-Volt}} acts as a stage hazard. When 5-Volt looks at the fighters, a beam of light is sent to them and damages them for 20%, inflicting high knockback. Fighters can avoid this by hiding behind objects. She can appear from the doorway, window, TV, or, if the stage is set a certain way, she will appear from a gaming pad or picture from an easel. Fakeouts can also appear. The layout of the stage changes each time the stage is played. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Wario. Only its [[Ω form]] can accommodate [[8-Player Smash]], which takes place on the desk, but without any of the books or writing utensils.

===Items===

====Assist Trophies====

[[File:SSB4 Ashley.jpg|thumb|The [[Pic of the Day]] introducing [[Ashley]] as a new Assist Trophy. She was revealed prior to any knowledge that Wario was returning.]]
Assist Trophies from the ''Wario'' series. In addition to those listed, Wario's partner in crime from the ''{{uv|Mario}}'' series, '''[[Waluigi]]''', returns from ''Brawl''.
*'''[[Kat & Ana]]''': a pair of kindergartners who practice {{s|wikipedia|ninjutsu}}. Like the Pokémon [[Latias & Latios]], Kat and Ana fly across the the screen and slice opponents with their katanas. They cannot be harmed by opponents and they do not harm the summoner.
*'''''[[Ashley]]''''': a young witch from ''WarioWare: Touched!'' When summoned, she conjures a purple cloud that causes a variety of effects, similar to [[Togepi]]. All opponents caught in the cloud are slowed, but she may also turn fighters invisible, or make [[food]] items damage fighters instead of heal them. Her design is derived from ''{{s|mariowiki|Game & Wario}}''. In the Wii U version, Ashley's hair turns white and her irises turn red when she conjures the cloud. These are details carried over from the ''WarioWare'' games.

====[[Smash Tour]] items====
*'''[[Kat & Ana]]''' ({{color|#F00|Red}}): a pair of kindergartners from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$!}}'' All collisions with walls and ceilings are automatically [[tech]]ed.

====Outfit====
*{{Head|Mii Swordfighter|g=SSB4|s=24x24px}} '''[[Ashley|Ashley Outfit]]''' ([[DLC]]): this outfit is based on Ashley,  a young witch from ''WarioWare: Touched!'' who otherwise appears in ''Smash 4'' as an Assist Trophy. The outfit was released with a corresponding black wig as downloadable content on February 3, 2016. The Mii wields Ashley's shape-shifting companion Red, transformed into a scepter as a weapon.

{{main|List of SSB4 trophies (WarioWare series)}}

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
The ''Wario'' series returns for ''Ultimate'', featuring ''WarioWare''  representation yet again. However, there has been a significant increase in ''Wario Land'' representation from previous ''Smash'' titles, mainly through Wario's moveset and the addition of Spirits. Ignoring spirits, the ''Wario'' series itself overall received roughly the same level of representation as its ''Smash 4'' appearance, as while all the previously cut music returns from ''Brawl'', Kat & Ana no longer appear as an Assist Trophy.

A few of his moves, such as dash attack, have been updated to better reflect his appearance in the ''Wario Land'' games, and [[Wario-Man]] is no longer a transformation and player-controlled, instead unleashing a flurry of cartoon-like attacks if it connects.{{clr}}

Both ''Wario'' stages from previous games return as retro stages in ''Ultimate''.
