Super Mario (franchise)/Characters/Wario and Company: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

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

 

 

== Wario and Waluigi ==

=== Wario ===

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

Debut: ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' }}

 

 

Tropes associated with Wario:

* [[The Bully]]

* [[Chrome Champion]]: While Mario was this in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Wario took over this capacity entirely in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In the ''[[Wario Ware]]'' series.

** 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.

* [[Evil Twin]]: Evil Twin wannabe, anyway.

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

* '''[[Fat Bastard]]'''

* [[Fiction 500]]: In ''[[Wario Land]]'' more than ''[[Wario Ware]]''.

* [[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).

* [[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.

* [[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!]]]]

Debut: ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' }}

 

 

Tropes associated with Waluigi:

* [[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.

* [[In a Single Bound]]: He's the ''only'' character who has ever come close to Luigi's jump height without flying.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[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''.

* [[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.

* [[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.
