Wario Bike
The Wario Bike, earlier called Wario Chopper is Wario's Side Special Move move that allows Wario to get on his motorcycle seen in the E3 trailer. The bike is able to damage opponents by ramming into them, as well as allowing Wario to travel faster, and over spikes. The bike's speed can be controlled depending on how much you tilt the control stick. 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. Otherwise, he'll just look around, puzzled. When Wario dismounts, other chracters 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, can be respawned after enough time has passed.
Control is essential to using the move efficiently. If you move too fast, you might drive off the stage. If you make a turn that's too sharp, Wario will fall off the bike.
Wario can jump off of his bike in mid-air, even if he has already used his mid-air jump. This will not take his mid-air jump away. If Wario presses up while riding his bike, he will do a wheelie, changing the hitbox, and avoiding things like teleporters and other "character-sensitive" traps. Also if he dismounts during this time, he will fall from a higher position. For example, if he wheelies through a low passthrough platform, he can immediately get off on the platform instead of the ground beneath it. If Wario is riding his bike in the air, he cannot control the speed, but can control the angle by pressing up or down. Also, he can taunt on his bike, giving him 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. This actually makes it the fastest possible option of movement on the ground in Brawl(Super Sonic can fly faster than the Wario-Man Bike, however). However, the bike can be controlled by skilled Wario players.
Trophy Info
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.
