Wario Waft in Brawl.

The Wario Waft (ワリオっぺ, Wario Fart), commonly known as the Fart, is Wario's down special move, which makes use of his flatulence to attack opponents. It becomes more powerful as time passes, ranging from a tiny "poot" to a massive explosion (which has high knockback and damage). At half-charge, it is his fastest and strongest KO move, activating in only 3 frames when half-charged, which is incredibly fast for a very powerful move. It was first revealed in the E3 2006 trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, albeit with it creating a much larger explosion than the one in the game. It takes nearly 1 minute and 50 seconds for it to charge completely, with a full charge indicated by Wario flashing orange. Wario Waft is one of only two chargeable attacks whose charge is retained even after the user is KO'd, the other one being Oil Panic.

A fully charged Wario Waft does 42% damage (40% plus 2% for being fresh) and rockets him high into the air with nearly unrivaled altitude. However, it's possible to self-destruct if Wario flies across the top blast line when performing this move with a full charge. As Wario-Man, it deals 50% damage if fully charged, and even when it is not at full charge it can One-Hit KO. Even if Wario doesn't connect with a fully-charged blast, he can still run into characters while being launched to deal approximately half damage and strong vertical knockback. It works well after an up throw set up or as an edgeguarding attack. In addition, a fully charged Wario Waft also has launch resistance.

In SSB4, the Wario Waft retains most of its properties, however damage and knockback from the fully charge variant has been altered. The maximum charged Waft now deals 27% damage as apposed to 42% (along with less height gained), but now possesses far more knockback, being able to KO characters from the center of the stage at just 60%. The charge time can also be decreased by eating items with Chomp, and it no longer self-destructs Wario at the upper blast line.

A graph of how much damage the Wario Waft does based on its charge. The gold line represents the damage dealt as Wario, and the pink line represents the damage dealt as Wario-Man. Click for full-size version.

Wario's weakest "poot" deals no damage, but it does knock foes off their feet, and if performed as Wario-Man it stuns opponents.

Origin

The move is based on WarioWare: Smooth Moves microgame He Who Smelt It..., where the player clears green gas out of the air by waving the Wii Remote side-to-Side to reveal the gas came from Wario farting. In Mario Strikers Charged (released a year before Brawl) his Super Ability is Gas Mask!, in which he farts and leaves behind a trail of green gas that flips the controls of anyone who passes through it. When the gas comes into contact with fire it will cause a detonation, though this was after the trailer for Brawl had been released.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:

1. Wario Waft 2. Rose-Scented Waft 3. Quick Waft
Wario Waft
Rose-Scented Waft
Quick Waft
"Release noxious gas from your rear end. It, uh... "charges" automatically." "Release noxious gas that makes flowers grow on opponents' heads." "The noxious gas charges more quickly, but it's less offensive."
  1. Wario Waft: Default.
  2. Rose-Scented Waft: The Wario Waft will add a flower to the opponent's head, but loses a lot of knockback. It also charges faster, and possesses a much larger hitbox.
  3. Quick Waft: The Wario Waft charges much faster, but doesn't deal as much damage or knockback. All waft charge levels other then the half waft are faster overall, as well.

Trivia

  • In Brawl, Wario's stomach sticks out of his shirt slightly when he has a fully charged fart ready. In SSB4, his entire torso bulges with a fully charged fart.
  • As seen on the above graph, Wario-Man gets to higher charge levels (except the last) faster than regular Wario does. However, this does not actually speed up the charging process; the two forms simply use different formulas when calculating what charge level the move is at.
  • Wario's SSB4 trophy description claims the Wario Waft is Wario's trademark move, despite the Waft never appearing in a Wario game, and the Dash Attack being considered Wario's trademark attack.
