Wario in Project M and Project+
Universe	Wario
Base game appearance	Brawl

Wario is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. Wario was changed heavily from Brawl to PM, with many of his moves being replaced with moves paying homage to the Wario Land series. While his aerial game has been aided by a better back aerial, his ground game is still hampered with laggy smash moves and a slow roll.

Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

As explained above, many of Wario's moves have been changed. He received slight buffs and nerfs from Brawl to PM as well.

• Forward tilt can be delayed for about 30 frames by holding the attack button. Depending on this, it deals damage from 11% to 14%. It remains angle-able as well.
• Forward aerial is stronger, dealing 11% damage (4% more).
• Back aerial also deals more damage (16% compared to 10%).
• Down aerial replaced with a ground pound which launches Wario downwards and meteor smashes opponents. If it connects, Wario will bounce off his opponent, allowing for safer recoveries if used offstage. Deals 14% damage, and has more beneficial uses than his previous down aerial (then an unefficient drill).
• Hitboxes of up smash now link better thanks to Project M's physics.
• New down smash: Wario punches the ground to create an earthquake similar to Charizard's down smash, and inspired by Wario Land: Shake It!. It deals about 24% damage (if charged), with set knockback and a meteor smash angle. It has generally more utility than his previously-unviable down smash, having less ending lag and setting up combos better.
• Dash grab looks like the new side special (explained below) for increased mindgames. Wario can also go a further distance by holding the grab button.
• Chomp can now be used to throw enemies backwards after biting them. When performing the move in the air it keeps momentum.
• Corkscrew has more control going left and right when flying up. It also hits more times and faster, dealing a total of 18% damage.
• Can move sideways whilst using back throw (now his original forward throw).
• Neutral combo inflicts less knockback and damage (9% compared to 12%).
• Up aerial now not only has a sourspot, but even the sweetspot deals less damage (14% as opposed to 17%).
• Forward smash no longer has launch resistance, and posseses higher ending lag.
• Chomp hold duration reduced. It now also bites just once before throwing, dealing 13% damage total.
• Back throw deals less damage (9%, compared to 12% of Brawl's f-throw).
• Default costume is now plumber's outfit as opposed to biker's outfit.
• New walking and dashing animations.
• Back aerial has been replaced with a back punch, similar to his forward tilt.
• Forward smash is now a front kick, with a lot of ending lag as Wario attempts to regain balance.
• Pummel has the coin effect.
• Forward throw is replaced with a simple single-handed throw that is similar to the throws from Wario Land 4. Deals 7% damage.
• Old forward throw is now his back throw.
• Wario Bike has been completely replaced with a Wario Land-style Shoulder Bash. The Shoulder Bash makes Wario dash forward similar to his old forward smash, dealing more damage as he travels. Wario can jump while dashing to continue the attack in the air or crouch to cancel the attack and slide forwards. The move renders Wario helpless if initiated in the air and causes him to bounce off walls he hits (for reduced height each time). Depending on dash speed, deals damage from 11% to 20%.
• Farting victory pose replaced with posing from Wario Land 4.
