Wanda

Shortly after the debut of the first Mario Kart game, a sequel to Super Mario Land was produced, bringing with it a brand new villain in the form of Mario’s rival and antithesis Wario. Wario’s popularity was immediate, with the character immediately getting a handful of spinoff games, including one wherein he gets a bucket stuck on Mario’s head, blinding the hero and forcing him to rely on the help of a friendly fairy to guide him through a maze to his brother Luigi.

This fairy was named Wanda. She only appeared in two games throughout the series, first in Mario & Wario, and then later in a similar game called Wario’s Woods. She mostly acted basically as your cursor, tapping stage elements or Mario to make sure he didn’t fall into a pit or get stuck or anything like that. In Wario’s Woods, she hung at the top of the stage, creating the bombs used to clear out the stage’s monsters.

In game, Wanda will be light and floaty, her wings allowing her good aerial maneuvers and ability. Her moveset will pull entirely from both Mario & Wario and Wario’s Woods, making her almost the representative for both games in many ways.
