Article on Super Mario Wiki Wario (universe)

The Wario universe (ワリオ, Wario) refers to the Smash Bros. series' collection of characters, stages, and properties concerning the subfranchise of the world-famous Mario game franchise centered on series anti-hero Wario. Wario's franchise is split into two major subseries, Wario Land and WarioWare. 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 childish 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 Super Smash Bros. 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 descriptionEdit

In mid-1989, early in the Mario franchise's release history, Nintendo released the Game Boy platformer 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, 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 Mario's castle while Mario is away; then, once Mario returns, he must go on a quest to collect the six titular coins 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. Mario & Wario (a Japan-only release for Super Famicom by Game Freak in 1993) and 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, Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman, a Game Boy installment of the Hudson Soft franchise 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 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 Mario Kart and Mario Party 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 Super Mario Land subseries, 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 Captain Syrup, who had only recently made a return appearance in 2008's 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 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 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 riches 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, 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 WarioWare: Twisted!, the touchscreen-controlled WarioWare: Touched!, the motion-controlled WarioWare: Smooth Moves, the camera-controlled WarioWare: Snapped!, and the creation game WarioWare: D.I.Y.. A spinoff for the Wii U, Game & Wario, was released in 2013, and the next traditional entry, WarioWare Gold, was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2018. The latest installment, WarioWare: Move It!, released on the Nintendo Switch in 2023.

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 Yoshi and Donkey Kong.

In Super Smash Bros. MeleeEdit

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 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[1]. In addition, one of Mario's alternate costumes 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. BrawlEdit

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.

FighterEdit

  •  
    Wario (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 alternate costumes, 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.

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

StageEdit

  •  
    WarioWare, Inc. (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.

Assist TrophyEdit

  • 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.

MusicEdit

Main article: List of SSBB Music (WarioWare series)

Original TracksEdit

Victory ThemeEdit

  • 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 Wario Land: Shake It!.

In Super Smash Bros. 4Edit

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 Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, 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 Mii Swordfighters. Otherwise, Smash 4 features content from Wario Land: Shake It! and Game & Wario, which were released between Brawl and Smash 4.

FighterEdit

  •  
    Wario (Unlockable): a crude, pompous treasure-hunter from 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 Wario World. He now has eight alternate costumes as opposed to twelve in Brawl.

StagesEdit

for Nintendo 3DSEdit

for Wii UEdit

  •  
    Gamer (Starter): staged in 9-Volt's bedroom from Game & Wario. The main platform is 9-Volt's desk, where his mother 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.

ItemsEdit

Assist TrophiesEdit

Bold italics denotes an Assist Trophy new to the Smash Bros. series.

Assist Trophies from the Wario series. In addition to those listed, Wario's partner in crime from the Mario series, Waluigi, returns from Brawl.

  • Kat & Ana: a pair of kindergartners who practice ninjutsu. Like the Pokémon Latias & Latios, Kat and Ana fly across 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 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 itemsEdit

Mii CostumesEdit

OutfitEdit

  •   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. An official Mii based on Ashley's likeness can be downloaded via a QR code on the official site.

In Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

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, but with all the previously cut music returning from Brawl, although Kat & Ana no longer appear as an Assist Trophy.

FighterEdit

  • 30.
     
    Wario (Unlockable): Wario returns as an unlockable fighter. 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.

StagesEdit

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

  • The Wario universe is the only Mario-related series with playable characters to not have been introduced in the original Super Smash Bros.
  • Excluding minor universes and downloadable content, Wario and Final Fantasy are the only universes in Ultimate to not have unlockable music tracks. If counting Namco universes separately, Pac-Man also shares this distinction.
