Revision as of 04:49, 26 January 2014


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

[[caption-width-right:300: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 Six 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!

Error: No text given for quotation (or equals sign used in the actual argument to an unnamed parameter)

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.

File:Jimmyt 1169.png

 "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

 Who's the girl next door, living in the haunted mansion?

"You better learn my name 'cause I am Ash~ley!"

Debut: WarioWare: Touched

Pantalones giganticus! Oh no, not again...


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.
