{{quote box|[[File:Wario.jpg|frame|I'm-a Wario! I'm-a gonna win! <ref>[[Memetic Mutation|Doh, I missed!]]</ref>]]}}

A fat, ill-tempered, greedy [[Wario Land (Video Game)|treasure hunter]] and [[Wario Ware (Video Game)|microgame maker]] who is often described as Mario's rival. Debuted in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins (Video Game)|Super Mario Land 2 Six6 Golden Coins]]'' as the [[Big Bad]], but branched off with [[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]] and his own platformers; his nemesis is Captain Syrup (see below). He sticks around for the spin-offs, though.

* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type V.

** [[Badass Biker]]: in ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]]''

* [[Big Eater]]: Especially in ''[[Wario World (Video Game)|Wario World]]'', where he has a [[Kirby]]-like ability to suck in coins.

* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: The W on his cap and gloves.

* [[Chrome Champion]]: While Mario was this in ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|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 (Video Game)|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 (Video Game)|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.

** Depending on its place in canon, he does go out of his way to rescue Princess Peach in ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] [[Updated Rerelease|DS]]'' for no real profit ([[Serious Business|unless he really likes cake anyway]]).

* [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: His hat power up in ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] [[Updated Rerelease|DS]]'' is the Metal Cap.

* [[Fartillery]]: An exclusive move in [[Super Smash Bros.]].

* [[Fiction 500]]: In ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]]'' more than ''[[Wario Ware (Video Game)|Wario Ware]]''.

* [[Foe -Tossing Charge]]: His primary method of defeating enemies.

** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He'll gladly liberate the citizens of a music box from an evil clown...if you let him keep any treasure he finds.

* [[Large Ham]]: More so in ''[[Wario World (Video Game)|Wario World]]''.

** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Always this in the Mario spinoffs, though in [[Super Smash Bros.]] he retains his [[Lightning Bruiser]] status instead.

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: In ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] [[Updated Rerelease|DS]]''.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Initially. After ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]]'' he becomes more of an [[Anti -Hero]].

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Wario has pummeled Captain Syrup in ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]] 2'' (in the endings to be specific), the Golden Diva from ''Wario Land 4'', DinoMighty from ''[[Wario World (Video Game)|Wario World]]'', and {{spoiler|Terrormisu}} from ''[[Wario Master of Disguise (Video Game)|Master of Disguise]]''. He's got no problem with smacking chicks.

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 (Video Game)|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].

* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Waluigi gets a fair bit more screentime in the [[Mario Tennis (Video Game)|Mario Tennis]] games. He stars in Power Tennis' opening movie alongside Wario. [[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Also]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEFHbtAyK_k WALUIGI PINBALL]!

* [[Anti -Villain]]: He's not really much of a villain - In fact, the only indication that he is one is at all is that his goal is to [[Take Over the World]].

* [[Assist Character]]: In [[Super Smash Bros Brawl]], he is one of the many Assist Trophy characters. His function is to chase down opponents and try to stomp them into the ground and finish up by launching opponents with a mighty kick or a swing from his [[Mario Tennis (Video Game)|tennis racket]].

* [[Brought to You Byby The Letter "S"]]: An L, flipped upside-down and mirrored, on his cap and gloves.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: [[Flip -Flop of God|They can't seem to decide]] if he and Wario are brothers or not.

* [[Hijacked Byby 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.

* [[Remember the New Guy?]]

* [[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]].

* [[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 (Video Game)|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.

Leader of the Black Sugar Pirates, Captain Syrup is the main rival of Wario in the first two [[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Lands]]s, 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.

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 [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World|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 [[Dismantled MacGuffin|Wishstone pieces]].
