Line 11 ⟶ 10:
Debut: ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' }}
 
A fat, ill-tempered, greedy [[Wario Land|treasure hunter]] and [[Wario Ware|microgame maker]] who is often described as Mario's rival. Debuted in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six6 Golden Coins]]'' as the [[Big Bad]], but branched off with [[Wario Ware]] and his own platformers; his nemesis is Captain Syrup (see below). He sticks around for the spin-offs, though.
 
Tropes associated with Wario:
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[The Bully]]
* [[Chrome Champion]]: While Mario was this in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Wario took over this capacity entirely in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
* [[Characterization Marches On]] / [[Villain Decay]]: He was an outright villain in his first appearance, but later games made it clear he's more greedy than evil.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In the ''[[Wario Ware]]'' series.
* [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: Design-wise--inwise—in newer games, he wears a T-shirt under his overalls (unlike Mario, Luigi and Waluigi, who wear long-sleeved shirts).
** Also, Wario in his debut was able to use the same powerups Mario could, except more powerful. The ''[[Wario Land]]'' series gave him his own set of skills; generally used for puzzle-solving than getting from point A to point B.
* [[Eternally Pearly-White Teeth]]: [[All There in the Manual|The Wario World manual]] says that all the [[Trademark Favorite Food|garlic]] he eats scares off any germs that would cause tooth decay. Any plaque that's brave enough to stay there, he himself eats.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Evil Twin]]: Evil Twin wannabe, anyway.
* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: His hat power up in ''[[Super Mario 64]] [[Updated Rerelease|DS]]'' is the Metal Cap.
* [[Fartillery]]: An exclusive move in [[Super Smash Bros.]].
* '''[[Fat Bastard]]'''
* [[Fiction 500]]: In ''[[Wario Land]]'' more than ''[[Wario Ware]]''.
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Large Ham]]: More so in ''[[Wario World]]''.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He is massively strong, can take a lot of damage, and can jump high and dash quickly (with his signature dash attack).
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Always this in the Mario spinoffs, though in [[Super Smash Bros.]] he retains his [[Lightning Bruiser]] status instead.
* [[Made of Iron]]: The dude can take almost anything thrown at him. Heck, a some of the [[Amusing Injuries]] inflicted on him in [[Wario Land]] II & 3 actually serve as powerups!
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: [[Fanon]] says Tatanga was just a patsy for Wario.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* [[Villainous Glutton]]
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Wario has pummeled Captain Syrup in ''[[Wario Land]] 2'' (in the endings to be specific), the Golden Diva from ''Wario Land 4'', DinoMighty from ''[[Wario World]]'', and {{spoiler|Terrormisu}} from ''[[Wario Master of Disguise|Master of Disguise]]''. He's got no problem with smacking chicks.

=== Waluigi ===
[[File:waluigi2.jpg|frame|[[Brawl in the Family|Expecting a description? TOO BAD! Waluigi time!]]]]
 
{{quote|''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}5DDucAK-Jmg "Everyone cheating but me! WAAAAA!"]''
Debut: ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' }}
 
Waluigi debuted in ''Mario Tennis'' as Wario's partner (we don't know for sure if they're brothers) and Luigi's rival. He has so far only appeared in Mario spin-off games, and his only appearance in a Wario game was in several minigames in ''[[Wario Ware]]: Smooth Moves''. His odd confrontational and slightly crazed manner have seemed disturbing to some, and inspired [https://web.archive.org/web/20100527072042/http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/comic151.html this comic].
 
Tropes associated with Waluigi:
Line 102 ⟶ 100:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: [[Flip-Flop of God|They can't seem to decide]] if he and Wario are brothers or not.
* [[Hijacked by Ganon]]: It at first looks like he's going to be the main villain of ''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'', but he's just the first boss, with Bowser being the final one.
** '''He''' has done this to Bowser as well in ''[[Mario Party]] 3''. After getting the Beauty Star Stamp, Bowser shows up. Expecting a fight with Bowser for the Mischief Star Stamp, Waluigi steals it instead, '''[[The Worf Effect|CURBSTOMPS]]''' Bowser when he tries to object, and forces the player to fight for the Stamp on a board of his own creation. While Waluigi only ends up being the [[Climax Boss|penultimate boss-of-sorts]], that scene was Bowser's last appearance in 3's Story Mode.
* [[In a Single Bound]]: He's the ''only'' character who has ever come close to Luigi's jump height without flying.
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 110 ⟶ 108:
* [[Satellite Character]]: He's characterized by his motivation to make Luigi's life miserable. Later games have pushed this into the background a little and made him into more of a cheat and a prankster, with a mischievous personality to match.
* [[Spin Attack]]: One of his special moves in ''Mario Power Tennis''.
* [[Stalker Without a Crush]]: Revealed to be this to Luigi in the 3DS version of [[Mario and& Sonic Atat Thethe Olympic Games|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]], but [[Ascended Fanon|people definitely thought he was this already]].
* [[Stone Wall]]: Due to his long limbs, Waluigi is one of only 2 characters classed as "defensive" in the ''Mario Tennis'' series.
* [[Take Over the World]]: His goal. You can probably guess how good he is at it.
Line 116 ⟶ 114:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Eggplants, to go with his {{color|purple| purple}} theme.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: This is his usual role in the Mario spinoffs in contrast to [[Mighty Glacier|Wario]] as well as in his [[Mario Tennis|debut game]]. However, he has [[Glacier Waif|trounced Bowser]] [[Mario Party|in a fight]], and in the [[Mario Kart]] games he is usually another variation on the [[Jack of All Stats]], except in the Wii version where he is a [[Mighty Glacier]]-type racer instead. He is also a [[Stone Wall]] [[Fragile Speedster|Speedster]] in Mario Strikers Charged, a [[Stone Wall]] in the sequel Tennis game, and [[Unskilled but Strong]] (falling a couple yards short of '''Wario''') in the [[Mario Golf]] series. He may just be another [[Lightning Bruiser]] overall.

A list of characters associated with Wario, mostly from the Wario Land and Wario Ware series. See also Mario's and Donkey Kong's casts, who both share a loosely defined universe with Wario and company.


Wario and Waluigi

Wario

I'm-a Wario! I'm-a gonna win! [1]

"Obey Wario, DESTROY MARIO!"
Debut: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

A fat, ill-tempered, greedy treasure hunter and microgame maker who is often described as Mario's rival. Debuted in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the Big Bad, but branched off with Wario Ware and his own platformers; his nemesis is Captain Syrup (see below). He sticks around for the spin-offs, though.

Tropes associated with Wario:

Waluigi

Expecting a description? TOO BAD! Waluigi time!

Waluigi debuted in Mario Tennis as Wario's partner (we don't know for sure if they're brothers) and Luigi's rival. He has so far only appeared in Mario spin-off games, and his only appearance in a Wario game was in several minigames in Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. His odd confrontational and slightly crazed manner have seemed disturbing to some, and inspired this comic.

Tropes associated with Waluigi:

Characters from Wario Land

Captain Syrup

Leader of the Black Sugar Pirates, Captain Syrup is the main rival of Wario in the first two Wario Lands, in the first game possessing a base on Kitchen Island which is raided by Wario, and in the second game takes revenge by seizing Wario's new castle. Much to the glee of fans, she returned in Shake It! as an ally to free the Shake Dimension, with the same ulterior motive as Wario: money.

Tropes assoicated with Syrup:

Rudy the Clown

"Ahh..Ah-hah-HAH! Finally I am myself again ! Now I can rule this world and the outer one as well !! I need you no longer, Wario! I shall crush you like a bug!"

Debut: Wario Land 3

An evil clown/demon thing sealed away in the music box world, he returned in Dr. Mario 64 for some reason not quite explained.

Tropes associated with Rudy:

Mad Scienstein

Debut: Wario Land 3

Tropes associated with Mad Scienstein:

Characters from Wario: Master of Disguise

These characters are all from the Show Within a Show The Silver Zephyr.

Count Cannoli

Wario's rival thief. He was originally the infamous Phantom Thief known as the Silver Zephyr, but Wario stole his magic wand from him and used it to do some master thievery of his own. Cannoli has two goals: 1) get his wand back, and 2) obtain the five Wishstone pieces before Wario does.

Tropes associated with Count Cannoli:

Carpaccio

The CEO of Sigil Securities and Wario's other rival thief. He manages to plunder the Smithsnorian Museum before Wario does. When Wario first confronts him in Sneezemore Cave, he dismisses Wario as a pathetic loser and shuts 4 stone doors to block the path to him. However, when Wario eventually gets past the stone doors and defeats Carpaccio in battle, he realizes that Wario is a much greater threat than he originally thought. Like Wario and Cannoli, he also wants the Wishstone pieces.

Tropes associated with Carpaccio:

Tiaramisu (actually Terrormisu)

A mysterious woman that Wario first meets at Sweatmore Peak. She helps him out at Blowhole Castle. She is actually Terrormisu, a demon that had been sealed away within the Wishtone since ancient times, and was only able to communicate with Wario by creating an illusion of herself. When Wario reassembles the Wishstone, she breaks free.

Tropes associated with Tiaramisu:

Wario Ware, Inc. Employees

Jimmy T.

"Yo-yo! Everyone got the fever? I've always got it! That's because the dance floor's hot!"
Debut: WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania

Full name Jimmy Thang. Jimmy is one of Wario's oldest employees at WarioWare, Inc. He's a cool cat with a passion for disco dancing and a massive afro, just like the rest of his family.

Tropes associated with Jimmy (and his family):

Mona

An energetic high school student from Diamond City, Mona works a variety of part-time jobs around town, including for WarioWare, Inc. She's also a cheerleader and the bassist in an amateur rock band, and owns a cool red scooter.

Tropes associated with Mona:

Dribble and Spitz

Dribble's the dog, Spitz is the cat.

A bulldog and cat, respectively, who work as cab drivers in Diamond City when not designing microgames for Wario. Dribble is a hot-heated speed freak, but Spitz's cool head keeps him out of trouble. They have a souped-up taxi cab that can even fly in outer space.

Tropes associated with Dribble and Spitz:

9-Volt

"Hey! My name is 9-Volt! I'm the grade-schooler gone old school!"
Debut: WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania

9-Volt is a little boy with a major love of all things Nintendo. He works at WarioWare, Inc. (Diamond City apparently having very lax child labor laws) designing microgames inspired by classic Nintendo products. When not fanning over Nintendo, he enjoys skateboarding.

Tropes associated with 9-Volt:

18-Volt

9-Volt's best friend and fellow hardcore gamer, 18-Volt is a comically huge elementary school student who looks like a grown adult. He's never seen without his green jumpsuit and 3D glasses.

Tropes associated with 18-Volt:

Dr. Crygor

A Mad Scientist, Dr. Crygor busies himself with bizarre but mostly benign experiments on his private island base outside Diamond City. He's replaced most of his body with cybernetic prostheses for some reason and dresses like a superhero. Dr. Crygor is assisted in his lab by his energetic robot, Mike, and his cute granddaughter, Penny.

He's notable for going through two character design changes In-Universe. Once, by being fused with an apple, and another by being powered up by his Kelorometer.

Tropes associated with Dr. Crygor:

Orbulon

After trying and failing to take over the world, Orbulon settled down in Diamond City, befriended Wario, and joined his minigame company. Orbulon travels through space in a pig-shaped starship called the Oinker, which he's not very good at driving, accompanied by his Alien Bunny minions. He has shapeshifting powers that he sometimes uses to pass as a human.

Tropes associated with Orbulon:

Kat and Ana

Kat is pink, Ana is orange.

A pair of twin ninjas-in-training who attend Diamond City Kindergarten, Kat and Ana are Wario's youngest employees. Kat, the older, can be bossy and overbearing, but she still loves her gentle younger sister. Both are very polite and love nature.

Tropes associated with the twins:

Mike

I was built to ROCK the MIC!

A high-spirited cleaning robot built by Dr. Crygor using parts from a karaoke machine. Mike loves one thing and one thing only: music. He often rebels against his programming to have fun with karaoke.

Tropes associated with Mike:

Ashley

Pantalones giganticus! Oh no, not again...

Who's the girl next door, living in the haunted mansion?
"You better learn my name 'cause I am Ash~ley!"
Debut: WarioWare: Touched

A teenage witch from Diamond City and one of Wario's employees. When not creating new microgames, Ashley spends her time brewing potions with her imp-like familiar, Red.

Tropes associated with Ashley:

Penny Crygor

Dr. Crygor's cute-as-a-button granddaughter, Penny loves her grandfather and wants to be a great scientist just like him. She's just as skilled—and eccentric—an inventor as her grandfather.

Tropes associated with Penny:

Young Cricket and Master Mantis

Two travelers from faraway lands, Master Mantis and his protege, Young Cricket, roam the world in search of cool new martial arts poses to perform.

Tropes associated with Cricket and Mantis:
