{{quote| ''"I am the great and powerful Wart! Ha HA!"''<br />

The first real villain Mario fought after Bowser (and little more than a blip on the radar since then), Wart is a big, nasty frog-like creature who took over the dreamworld of Subcon with an army of Shy Guys and monsters spawned from his Nightmare Machine. The fairy-like Subcon people contacted Mario and friends through their dreams, and soon Wart was undone thanks to his allergy to turnips and onions.

* [[Adipose Rex]]

* [[Badass Long Robe]]

* [[Big No]]: Lets out an epic one upon his defeat in ''Super Mario Advance''.

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Evil Overlord]]

* [[Off-Model]]: In his comic debut, he looked like a [[Donkey Kong Country|Kremling]]. His second appearance was more accurate... yet still kind of off looking.

* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: Crown, bracelets, a robe, and a medallion.

* [[Tactical Suicide Boss]]: You kinda have to wonder why, if his only weakness is vegetables, Wart keeps a machine that constantly spits out veggies ''in his throne room''.

** The machine produced nightmares, and it may have turned against him or malfunctioned, and started producing his worst nightmare - vegetables.

* [[Totally Radical]]: He's reimagined as a skater punk in the book ''Doors to Doom''.

** Skate or [[Incredibly Lame Pun|CROAK]]!

'''Clawgrip:''' ''"Arrr, you'll make a tasty treat!"''<br />

'''Robirdo:''' ''"You've come a long way!"''<br />

Tropes associated with the quartet include:

* [[Evil Feels Good]]: The comics state Mouser was originally neutral, but was brought to [[The Dark Side]] by Bowser, and grew to love it.

* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: Clawgrip.

* [[King Mook]]: According to the comics, Mouser used to lead a whole kingdom of identical mice who live in the Mushroom Kingdom's sewers.

* [[Mad Bomber]]: Mouser.

* [[Cross Dresser]] or [[Transsexual]], depending on who you ask.

* [[Dual Boss]]: With Popple in ''Superstar Saga''.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Her appearance in ''Super Mario RPG'' was pretty random, only recieving a ''teensy'' bit of foreshadowing (a random Nimbus Person mentions Valentina keeps a giant egg around for some reason).

== Cackletta ==

[[File:cackletta.jpg|frame]]

{{quote| ''"I shall dispose of you quickly, and then eat you for lunch!"''<br />

A wicked witch who has long bedeviled the Beanbean Kingdom, Cackletta learned that only one with a beautiful voice could use the wish-granting artifact known as the Beanstar... so she and her eccentric henchman, Fawful, turned to the neighboring Mushroom Kingdom to steal the voice of its monarch, Princess Peach. Big mistake--the Mario Brothers were on the case in a heartbeat.

Tropes associated with Cackletta:

* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]: Cackletta's body dies about halfway through the game, but her spirit possesses Bowser, creating the mind-scarring... ''thing''... that is Bowletta.}}

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Master of Illusion]]: Cackletta can create duplicates of herself to confuse attackers.

* {{spoiler|[[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: The final enemy Mario and Luigi face in ''Superstar Saga'' is Cackletta's ghost, possessing Bowser.}}

* [[Punny Name]]: In both English and Japanese; in the latter her name is "Geragemōna", "geragera" being an onomatopoeia for laughter.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Her main attack is firing magical lightning bolts.

{{quote| ''"I have fury!!!"''<br />

A crazed inventor who constantly spouts strange similes and garbled English, he first appeared as Cackletta's right-hand man, aiding her in her schemes. He was seemingly killed near the end of ''Superstar Saga'', but in fact survived, laying low in the sewers of Peach's Castle, running a badge shop while plotting his return to glory. He carried out these plans in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', returning as the main antagonist, causing the Blorb outbreak and taking control of both Bowser's and Peach's castles, as well as unearthing an ancient evil in order to use its power for his own ends. Of course, in taking Bowser's Castle he angered the Koopa King; a mistake that ultimately led to his downfall.

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Slasher Smile]]/[[Cheshire Cat Grin]]

* [[Talks Like a Simile]]

* [[Verbal Tic]]: In the Japanese version, Gerakobits punctuated his sentences with "~Fururururu!". This was [[Woolseyism|changed drastically]] in the localization.

== The Shroobs ==

[[File:250px-MnL2_Shroob_2447.jpg|frame]]

A militant race of mushroom-like aliens who abandoned their dead, barren planet in favor of greener pastures, laying their eyes on the Mushroom Kingdom of the past. When they attacked Peach's Castle while the adult Princess Peach happened to be visiting in E. Gadd's time machine, they took her prisoner, driving the Mario Bros. to travel back in time and team up with their younger selves in order to defeat the invaders.

* [[Badass Moustache]]: Shroobsworth.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Elder Princess Shroob has no problem shooting or knocking down her minion's UFOs.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Used by Elder Princess Shroob's final form.

* [[Cyborg]]: RC Shroobers.

* [[Deadly Doctor]]: Doctor Shroobs.

* [[Dying Race]]: Their planet was apparently on its last leg.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: The species in general to the Toads, and Princess Shroob and Shroobsworth to Peach and Toadsworth.

* [[Fast Tunnelling]]: Done by Shrooba Divers.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: At one point, Elder Princess Shroob refers to Toads as "STUPID [[Fantastic Slur|MUSHROOM HEADS]]".

{{quote| ''"Soon this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you, too, will sleep eternally in the dark power's embrace!"''<br />

A being of pure evil that terrorized the Mushroom Kingdom in the distant past, but was eventually sealed away. Fawful unearthed it and attempted to drain its power, but it proved too powerful for him to handle...

* [[Mirror Boss]]: After absorbing Bowser's DNA, it becomes a dark copy of him.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: It wants to destroy Mushroom World, if not the entire universe.

{{quote| ''"Now it is time! Now we will fight! Then you will lose! And you will cry!"''<br />

With Fawful's ascension to primary villain, it's only natural that he'd get a lackey of his very own. This porcine brute may be a rather dim bulb, but his strength rivals even that of the King of Koopas himself. He antagonizes Bowser throughout the game on his master's orders, until he is at last defeated for good in the final stages.
