The Wario Bike (ワリオバイク Wario Baiku), called Wario Chopper during earlier stages of development, is Wario's side special move move that allows Wario to move faster by riding his motorcycle. The bike can be used as an attack by ramming into opponents and by throwing it after Wario dismounts. It will also afford Wario limited protection from attacks and stage hazards.
General
The bike's speed can be controlled depending on how much the player tilts the control stick. If the player taps 
, the bike will travel at its fastest. Wario can dismount the bike voluntarily by pressing an attack button as well as being knocked off by another player's attack. To ride his bike again, he must get back on it by using the special move again while he's near it. If he's far away from it, or if the bike has been recently destroyed, using the special move will make Wario look around, trying to find his bike, and do nothing.
When Wario dismounts, other characters can pick up and throw the bike, including Wario. Only Wario can ride the bike, although another Wario can ride it and use it as his own. The bike can also be destroyed, eaten, or thrown offstage, but like an uncaught Boomerang, it can be respawned after enough time has passed.
Control is essential to using the move efficiently. If the player moves too fast, they might drive off the stage. If they make a turn at too high a speed, Wario will fall off of the bike. Wario always falls off the bike on the 4th turn.
Wario can jump off of his bike in mid-air, even if he has already used his double jump, and he will retain his double jump if he has not already used it. When Wario uses his bike in mid-air, and jumps right before the bike starts falling, the vertical boost is greater than that of his Corkscrew.
If the player presses up while Wario is riding his bike, he will do a wheelie, changing the hitbox's power and position, and allowing Wario to avoid things like Bananas and other "character-sensitive" traps such as the Motion-Sensor Bomb - save for the Pitfall, whose detection range is large enough to catch Wario and catapult him like a bronco with enough force for a OHKO. Doing a wheelie also gives Wario a higher dismount point. For example, if he wheelies through a low soft platform, he can immediately get off on the platform instead of the ground beneath it.
Wario is considered to be grounded while riding his bike on the ground. As a result, if the bike is on the ground but his body is overhanging an edge (for example, while turning), he can be hit by a ground-only unconventional meteor smash and unexpectedly knocked downwards.
If Wario is riding his bike in the air, he cannot control the speed, but can control the angle by pressing up or down.
He can also taunt on his bike, giving him a total of four taunts.
Masahiro Sakurai has warned players not to use the move as Wario-Man. This is because the bike moves incredibly fast, even faster than a car in the Big Blue stage, and can inadvertently result in a self-destruct. This is actually the second fastest possible option of movement on the ground in Brawl (with Sonic wearing a Bunny Hood being the fastest, though Super Sonic can fly faster than the Wario-Man Bike).

Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Speeding Bike: Wario's Bike moves considerably faster, but cannot turn, and is easier to break.
- Burying Bike: Wario's Bike is slower, but can now bury opponents that it runs into.
Other notes
Wheels
If Wario's bike remains on the stage, other characters can damage the bike. After enough damage, the bike will be destroyed, but the front and back wheels will remain on the stage. Both of these can be used as throwable items by any character to do moderate damage and hitstun. The smaller front wheel is slightly weaker than the larger back wheel. The wheels will bounce after they hit something and can also roll around the stage. Throwing one downward will cause it to bounce several times, continuing to be an active hitbox while doing so. A tire will only hit the same person once before being re-activated by being picked up and thrown again. Though the wheels have very low knockback scaling and will never KO at realistic percentages, their bouncing property can be exploited to set up another attack or pressure the opponent's shield.
Bike spike
A thrown bike will "bounce" atop the character it is thrown at and keep them down, often preventing them from making a recovery. If the hapless character keeps trying to recover and successfully recovers, it might rack up over 100% damage.
Projectile defense
When the bike is on the stage by itself, it will block any projectile that comes its way. If Wario's opponent relies heavily on projectiles, Wario can merely go behind his bike and crouch for protection. A Wario skilled with the bike can pull it out, instantly make a sharp turn, thus causing Wario to fall off the bike and leaving a shield right in front of himself. Though the projectiles will eventually destroy the bike, this actually may favor Wario since he now has wheels to use.
Stale moves
It should be noted that any attack made on the bike counts as an attack that has landed, and as such, it will be recorded in the game's move queue. The player can intentionally hit the bike with moves they don't care about to refresh moves that they use.
Also, the bike as a projectile counts as a move separate from the bike as an attack with Wario riding it. Furthermore, the bike and the tires that come from it are linked in move decay - landing an attack with the tires will decay the bike and vice versa.
Brawl manual description
"Steer with the control stick and bail with A. If you wipe out, get near your bike to hop back on."
Origin
The Wario Bike first appeared in WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$! for the Game Boy Advance (prior to that, a similar motorbike appeared as one of Wario's presents in Mario Party 4). In the introduction and during Wario's minigames, he is seen riding the aforementioned motorbike. This quickly became a staple part of Wario's new biker persona and has subsequently featured in every title in WarioWare series. It has also appeared as a vehicle for large characters in Mario Kart Wii.
Glitch
There is a glitch that can be performed using the Wario bike. It causes Wario to teleport onto a platform above him by doing a wheelie.
Trophy
Brawl-
A motorcycle specially designed for Wario by Dr. Crygor, an employee at WarioWare, Inc. This monster bike has an amazing 5,000cc, 4-stroke, 350HP engine capable of pushing it down the road at up to 217 miles per hour. Of course, this road hog is also a fuel hog and gets less than 5 miles to the gallon. Getting the pegs in the right position for Wario's short legs was difficult.
- WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$! (2003)
3DS-
NA: A ridiculously powerful motorcycle designed for Wario by Dr. Crygor, this mean machine sports wide handles and raised pedals to accommodate Wario's unique dimensions. Summoned into battle as his side special attack, even Wario can have trouble keeping this thing upright at times.
PAL: A motorbike made for Wario by genius scientist Dr. Crygor. At 2.7m in length, with wide handles and raised pedals, it's perfect for Wario! The bike will appear when you use Wario's side special move, but you'd better know how to do it properly or you might end up flipping over, and that would just be embarrassing...

Trivia
- There was once a rumor that if one used Wario Bike as Giant Wario, then became normal Wario again, and then ate the bike with Chomp, one would instantly have a fully charged Wario Waft. This rumor has since been proven false.
- If on his bike, Wario can completely prevent himself from falling asleep during Peach's Final Smash.
- If the player grabs a Super Mushroom while playing a Giant Brawl as Wario on Temple, he will grow massive. If they try to use Wario Bike while enlarged in the middle area (where they can grab the ledge, between a slab of rock where they can head down), Wario's bike will enter a very strange animation. May glitch if the player returns to normal while doing this.
- If one uses Captain Falcon's Final Smash on Wario just as he gets on to his Bike without knocking him out, the bike remains on the stage stood up as though Wario were about to climb on, but invisible. It is not known what causes this. Wario cannot use his Bike unless he is standing next to the invisible one (at which point it becomes visible) or destroys it.
- It appears that Wario may be immune to the upper blast line while riding his bike. [1]
- The flames seen on the Wario Bike in Brawl have never been seen in any other Mario/Wario game.
- In Smash 4 Wario cannot enter the All-Star Rest Area teleporter as his bike holds him too far above the ground.
