Wario has unique attacks, like using his Wario Bike and releasing noxious gas. He can jump higher than normal by leaping from his bike, which comes in handy when recovering. For his Final Smash, he turns into Wario-Man and creates copies of himself for an all-out attack!

Wario seems to be mostly unchanged from his SSB4 appearance, though his moveset appears to have been slightly altered to be more reflective of the Wario Land series, as the series' iconic Dash Attack and Ground Pound are now referenced in his attacks.

Aesthetics

  • Change As with all veterans 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 The buttons on Wario's default overalls are now gold like those of Mario, Luigi and Waluigi's overalls; in previous titles, they were silver, in line with Wario's appearances in the Wario Land and Mario series.
  • Change Down taunt has a more comical, "poppier" animation.
  • Change Wario's hand is placed lower when he's grabbing someone.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, Wario's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

  • Change Wario's forward tilt is now a heavy-handed slap.
  • Change Wario has a new dash attack, resembling the Dash Attack from the Wario Land series.
  • Change Dash attack's knockback angle appears to have been altered.
  • Buff Wario's up smash covers more horizontal range.

Aerial Attacks

  • Buff Wario's back aerial has received significantly less end lag.
  • Change Wario's down aerial has a slight animation change, with him putting his arms around his head, his hands together in a diving pose.

Throws/other moves

  • Change Wario's down throw animation appears a bit more forceful with Wario clenching his fists upon contact, making the move bear a closer resemblance to the Ground Pound from the Wario Land games.

Special Moves

  • Change Wario Waft's fart cloud now produces significantly fewer particles.
  • Change Wario now faces away from the screen when executing a fully-charged Wario Waft.
  • Change Wario-Man is no longer a transformation. Instead, Wario dashes forward and if it connects, Wario-Man performs a cinematic comic book-style attack that launches enemies away at the end.
