Wario (ワリオ) is possibly the main protagonist of his own series and may be a recurring character in the Mario series. He is possibly portrayed as an anti-hero and the evil and greedy version of his arch-rival Mario. He might have first debuted in the 1992 game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the main antagonist and later the main protagonist of its sequel, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.
Wario might appear in almost every spin-off Mario game as a playable character, such as the Mario Kart series, Mario Party games, and sport games.
Wario (Japanese: ワリオ Hepburn: Wario, pronounced [ɰa.ɾi.o]; English: /ˈwɑːrioʊ/) is a fictional character in Nintendo’s Mario series who was originally designed as an arch-rival of Mario. He first appeared in the 1992 Game Boy title Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the main antagonist and final boss. His name is a portmanteau of Mario’s name and the Japanese word warui (悪い), meaning “bad”. Wario was designed by Hiroji Kiyotake, and is voiced by Charles Martinet, who voices many other characters in the series such as Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi.
Wario has become the protagonist and antihero of the Wario Land and WarioWare series, spanning handheld and console markets. In addition to appearances in spin-offs in the Mario series, he appears in cameos for Kirby Super Star Ultra, Densetsu no Stafy 3 and Pilotwings 64. He has also been featured in other media such as the Super Mario Adventures graphic novel. The character has received a largely positive critical reception.
Kiyotake subsequently discussed his idea with his assistant character designer and co-director Takehiko Hosokawa, with whom Kiyotake normally sought approval from before presenting an idea to the rest of the game’s staff. To Kiyotake’s surprise, the idea to flip the “M” seen on Mario’s Cap to create a “W” received extremely enthusiastic support by the rest of the staff. Wario went on to become the game’s main antagonist by taking over Mario’s castle, which met the staff team’s initial vision of diverting from the conventional objecives established by previous Mario games.
Background
Wario´s first chronological appearance was in Yoshi’s Island DS. He along with numerous other infants had been abducted by the evil Kamek’s Toadie army in order to find the legendary Star Children that were spoken of in legend to be the only thing standing in the way of the Koopa Troop’s attempt at world domination. But Baby Wario did not remain with the Toadies for long, due to his terrible tantrums, so when the Toadies finally became fed up with the baby they abandoned him in an undersea cave in World 3-5. Not long after a Yoshi, which had been separated from the Stork and the other babies, ended up finding the lost Baby Wario and together they managed to escape the enemy filled area and they continued to aid each other throughout the rest of World 3. After going through five levels, Wario saw a line of Bandits, each carrying a coin. As he was a very greedy baby, Wario jumped on the only Bandit with no coin, in the back of the line, hoping to snag some riches.
Baby Wario along with the rest of the Yoshis worked together to defeat Bowser at the end of the game. At the end of the game Wario got Bowser’s treasure, but Baby Bowser plopped in, and again, they started to argue. It is unknown if Wario ever returned to his parents or not.
Personality
Wario typically has a natural greed for money, which also balancesmit out for his competative side when it comes to having a competition with Mario, Wario also has quite the temper, when he usually gets Into a typical rival competition, or if he loses or tries to best Mario.
Wario is portrayed as a caricature of Mario; he has a large head and chin, huge muscular arms, a wide and short body that is slightly obese, short legs, a large, pointier, zig-zagging moustache, and a bellicose cackle. He also wears a plumber outfit with a yellow and purple color scheme, which is a short-sleeved yellow shirt and purple overalls along with an indigo “W” symbol. He also wears green shoes and white gloves with an indigo “W” symbol as well. However, in his early appearances Wario wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt and fuchsia overalls.[3] The name “Wario” is a portmanteau of “Mario” with the Japanese adjective warui (悪い) meaning “bad”; hence, a “bad Mario” (further symbolized by the “W” on his hat, an upside down “M”).[4][better source needed] Official Nintendo lore states that Wario was a childhood rival to Mario and Luigi who became jealous of their success.[5] Voice actor Charles Martinet, who has voiced Mario since 1995, is also the voice for Wario. During the audition for the part, Martinet was told to speak in a mean and gruff-sounding tone. He described voicing Wario as a looser task than voicing Mario, since Mario’s speaking manner and personality are more free-flowing, rising from the ground and floating into the air, while one of Wario’s cornerstones is jealousy.[6] Starting with Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Wario experiences rejuvenating effects from garlic in a similar manner as Mario is powered up by mushrooms. Wario often uses bombs, as seen in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Wario Blast and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The WarioWare series prominently uses bombs as a visual motif to represent the time limit.
In video games in which Wario makes a cameo appearance, he is often portrayed as a villain. However, the development team for Wario Land: Shake It! stated that he was not really a villain, and they did not consider him one during development. They focused on his behavior, which alternates between good and evil.[7] Etsunobu Ebisu, a producer on Shake It!, considered Wario to be a reckless character, who uses his strength to overwhelm others. Tadanori Tsukawaki, the design director of Shake It!, described Wario as manly, and said he was “so uncool that he ends up being extremely cool”. Because of this, he wanted Wario to act macho rather than silly and requested that the art designers emphasize his masculinity.[8] Wario was chosen as the star of the WarioWare series because the developers felt he was the best character for the franchise because he often acted stupid. bowser action figure
Wario has almost never been seen with friends in the Marioverse, only seen with Waluigi (Luigi’s doppelganger) and in Mario Superstar Baseball, Boo. But, with the WarioWare series, Wario is seen with quite a lot of friends all of which work for him at his video game company, such as Jimmy T., Mona and Dr. Crygor to name a few of the extensive part . Mario Party 6 also implies that Wario is secretly friends with Toadette.
