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.

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 [http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/comic151.html this comic].

Revision as of 08:56, 8 April 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!

 "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 this comic.

Tropes associated with Waluigi:

Characters from Wario Land

Captain Syrup

 Debut: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

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:
