Character Sheet: Wanda (Wario Miscellaneous)

WANDA

It's time to cover the Wario characters. We will be making a new roster for Wario, although it will not be populated by the most iconic of Wario characters quite yet. We may also get some new additions to the Mario rosters. Here's who were working with this time around:

1. Mario (Revision)
2. Luigi (Revision)
3. Princess Peach (Revision)
4. Toad (Revision)
5. Wario (Revision)
6. Captain Syrup (Revision)
7. Birdo (Revision)
8. Yoshi (Revision)
9. Wanda
10. Count Cannoli
11. Carpaccio
12. Terrormisu
13. The Shake King

Our new characters for this round will all be fairly obscure, but that's kind of the nature of the Wario series outside of the Wario Ware games. We'll start off with Wanda. Wanda is a small fairy who appears solely in the games Mario & Wario and, depending on who you ask, Wario's Woods. In Mario & Wario, Wanda acts as a guide for Mario, Yoshi, or Peach as they try to get to Luigi to take the bucket off their heads. As part of her help and guidance, she can break blocks in the player's way or create blocks to make new pathways. She can also turn the player around if needed. In the boss fights, she can smack Wario rapidly with her hammer. In Wario's Woods, she floats at the top of the screen and creates the bombs that Toad has to line up with enemies. All in all, I'd say she has plenty to work with, even simply as a gimmick rep if I wanted to.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Hammer Bash
This is based on her attack on Wario, as well as her general ability to break obstacles. She will rapidly smack her opponent with a hammer, similar to Meta Knight's quick-slash attack. It's also possible it could work like Charizard's Rock Smash, and she would produce a block to instantly break into pieces.

Side B: Bucket
This one's more of a gimmick move. She will pull out the bucket used by Wario in Mario & Wario and smack it down onto a player's head that will automatically put them into a dizzy state for a short period.

Up B: Spring
This one's also kind of a gimmick move. Springs pop up frequently in Mario & Wario as a means to get from one platform to another, and this move will work similarly to Sonic's, bouncing Wanda high into the air.

Down B: Bomb
This one is based on Wario's Woods, with Wanda creating a bomb that she simply drops and leaves behind. The bombs will be color-coded to players on the screen and will only explode if the player of that color touches it.

Final Smash: Wario's Woods
This one is based pretty much on the entire game Wario's Woods. A giant tree will take up most of the screen, trapping the players within, while hordes of the little gremlin creatures from said game swarm in, doing minor damage as they do, and filling up the tree more and more until the players are finally forces out the top of the screen.

Entrance: a bucket falls down from above and Wanda pokes her head up out of it.

Taunts: waving her hammer around, flipping over a bucket, twirling around all fairy-like, so on.

Thanks for reading! Tomorrow, we'll check out Count Cannoli of Wario: Master of Disguise!
