Character Sheet: Mario (Wario Miscellaneous)

MARIO

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

Mario's pretty easy here. He only appears in Mario & Wario, and he spends most of it with a bucket stuck on his head, being guided around by Wanda. No changes this time.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fireball

Side B: Cape

Up B: Item Box

Down B: Mario Tornado

Final Smash: Mega Mushroom

Entrance: Pops up from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Still okay with his various Smash taunts as most of them are reflected in game.

Next up, let's cover our boy Luigi!

Wario Land: Shake It!

WARIO LAND: SHAKE IT!

Wario Land: Shake It! is a game released for the Wii and Wii U that acted both as an attempt to revitalize the Wario Land series and to make use of the shaking gimmick of the two systems. It featured Wario being roped by his old nemesis Captain Syrup into a mission to save a bunch of fairy creatures called Merfles by the evil Shake King.

Wario, Captain Syrup, the Shake King, and the Merfles act as our main characters. Wario, as the playable characters, can run, jump, go down pipes, charge with his shoulder, shake things hard enough to shake out all their money, throw enemies against the wall, slide, get launched forward at top speed, pound the ground, spin on bars, use a submarine with missiles, use a car with a giant punching glove, get himself lit on fire, roll up into a snowball, shrink, and fly inside of a rocket cauldron.

Captain Syrup mainly runs the shop in the game, but at the end, she uses a vacuum to suck up all the treasure Wario had collected for herself. The Shake King on the other hand can also shake things to knock coins loose, jump, slam, charge with his shoulder, throw a line of fireballs, throw a lightning blast, create a shockwave, shoot an energy beam, and bash his way through the floor. All in all, he can also act as the main gimmick rep. As for the Merfles and their princess Merelda, they are mostly NPC characters that don't add much to the gameplay, so not much there.

As for the enemies, Bandineros are our main enemies and bear a distinct resemblance to Captain Syrup's Pirate Gooms. They mostly walk around, hop, and float, and have two variants, the Buccaneros that carry swords, and Pitchforks with literal forks coming out of their heads. From there, we also have Scarracudas that swim, Mummers that blow dust, Flipstings that stink, Turkeyjerks that fly, Shortfuses that shoot spike balls, Nosedozers that drill, Crackpots that hide in pots and throw things, Jellopuses that swim and zap you, Tub-Subs that swim and shoot torpedoes, Volcannons that spew lava, Boomdineros that fire cannonballs, Peek-a-Booms that throw bombs, Pengoons that spit ice, and Recapitators that throw their own heads.

As for our bosses, we have: Rollanratl, a giant statue that drops its head and makes its hands fly in a circle; Hot Roderick, who races you and throws wrenches and tires at you; Chortlebot, a robot clown that shoots its nose at you; Scumflower, a flow that sucks in and blows out at you and spits bandineros at you; and finally Large Fry, a giant fish dressed as a chef that will slam down and try to eat you.

As for our stages, the whole game takes place within a giant magical globe that Wario enters through a telescope. The main hub world is Captain Syrup's ship, the Sweet Stuff (what happened to the S.S. Teacup?). After that we have five main areas, each with their own main biome and several worlds within. First we have Ratl Ruins, which is generally a desert level; then Wiggly Wilds, a wild area complete with a volcano; then Rockin' Range, which has a general Old West feel to it; Jiggle Jungle, a mix between jungle and sky levels; and Quiver Cliffs, a mountainous area with some haunted elements. Finally, we have the Shake King's ship, the Shakedown Schooner.

Items tend to be treasure chests and bags that you can shake and dislodge a lot of money from.

Wario: Master of Disguise

WARIO: MASTER OF DISGUISE

Wario: Master of Disguise is a game released for the Nintendo DS that tried to make good use of the touch screen mechanic. It also tells the tragic tale of a man who trained his whole life to carry on his family legacy only for some a**hole from another dimension to create a device to travel to his and take everything away from him, simply because said a**hole couldn't stand the idea that a fictional character (from his perspective) might have more treasure than he did. What I'm trying to say here is that Wario is a dick.

In this game, you play as Wario who uses the magic wand Goodstyle (stolen from said poor, unfortunate soul) to transform himself into various forms to get through the various levels. These include: Thief Wario, more or less the basic form with a tackle attack; Cosmic Wario, an astronaut who can shoot lasers; Arty Wario, who can create blocks and doors; Genius Wario, who can reveal hidden items and uses a punching glove on a spring; Sparky Wario, who shoots off electricity; Captain Wario, who can use boats or submarines to cross watery areas and can fire torpedoes; Dragon Wario, who can breathe fire and swim through lava; and Wicked Wario, who can fly.

We also have three supporting characters. The first is Count Cannoli, a phantom thief whose entire life is flipped upside down because Wario is petty about a fictional character. Outside of being the original owner of Goodstyle and thus being able to do everything Wario could do (thus making him the perfect candidate for the role of gimmick rep), he also flies in on a balloon in every appearance and can pilot flying machines that drop bombs, use drills, and punch with maces. After him we have Carpaccio, another phantom thief of sorts who relies more on technology and traps against Wario, but can also transform into a giant bubble that sucks you in and shoots icicles at you. Finally, we have Terrormisu, an all-powerful demon who presents herself to Wario at first as a young girl pleading for his help. She can float around, call down lightning, throw a giant laser ball, flood a room with her tears, throw crescent shapes at you, drop meteors on you, and send up fiery lava waves.

As for our enemies, we have a few, including cheese-eating mice called Munchelangelo, Davincheese, and Ratfael; Galley Cats and Pushy Cats are servers who throw trays of food and push carts at you; Nigel B. Whistlebottom and Officer Kicksworth are police officers that patrol areas. Sir Lance-a-lot, Sir Steal-a-lot, Sir Hop-a-lot, Sir Worth-a-lot, and Sir Flap-a-lot are all robotic knights implied to work for Carpaccio that stab at you with lances, hop on pogo sticks, and fly in their various forms. Buffy the Dolphin and Puffy the Dolphin are both dolphins, one who flexes and shoots balls of light at you, and the other who shoots puffs of his afro; Squabbles are basic birds; Battle Salmon, Snackerels, and Cyborcas are all robotic fish that inhabit the waters; Mr. Cheekies are big monkeys that fart and run away; Snow Globes are mini-versions of Carpaccio's boss fight that shoot snowflakes at you; Slithervines are creeping vines that bite you; Bombats are basically bats; Scare-Oh!s and Sarcopha Guys are Egyptian mummy-type enemies; Thorn Weeds and Seed Weeds are plant enemies that crawl around and shoot spikes and seeds at you; Gooeys are ghost enemies; and Mellow Kitties are cat balls that try to swallow you.

Other bosses that aren't Cannoli, Carpaccio, and Terrormisu include the Pharaoh betrayed by Terrormisu, who floats around and drops balls and spikes from his nose; Kabloom!, a giant flower that shoots thorns and orb things at you; the Barfatronic Lavachomper, a giant mechanical head that spews lava, shoots eye lasers, and drops bombs on you; and Stuffy the 64th, a dolphin that swims around and jumps from the water.

The game's levels are divided up into ten main story episodes and then five special episodes afterward. The first two take place on the S.S. Caviar, a cruise ship that Cannoli had been casing; after that we have the Smithsnorian Museum; Sneezemore Cave, an ice level; Poobah the Pharaoh's Pyramid; Ancient Waterworks, a jungle ruins level; Sweatmore Peak, a volcano; Blowhole Castle, a water-filled castle level; Carpaccio's Lab; and Allergia Gardens, a divine garden-type level.

As for items, its mostly a lot of treasure you can steal and such. And Goodstyle the wand of course.

Wario World

WARIO WORLD

Wario World was the Wario series's attempt at making the jump to 3D that would sadly be largely forgotten in the wake of its more successful Wario Ware series. The game debuted on the Game Cube and featured Wario trying to get his treasure back after a cursed jewel comes to life and kicks him out of his castle.

Wario is your main playable character in this game, his moveset being able to run, jump, climb poles, butt bash, deliver a forward punch, pick up and throw enemies, spin enemies around really fast, roll like a ball, and suck objects in. The only real supporting characters are little creatures called spritelings that you have to rescue, but they don't do much from there.

The Black Jewel is the main villain of the game, but sadly, its final boss battle is severely lacking in variety enough to build something off of. Basically it just hovers in midair and fires lasers at you, occasionally making shockwaves. Good for a boss battle or assist trophy I suppose, but that's about it.

The game is divided into four worlds with two worlds inside them. Each small world ends in a boss fight, and then the larger world ends in a third boss fight. These include: Greenfist, a hulking muscleman who charges and punches at you; Sandworm, a giant sandworm who swims around in the sand and spits spikeballs; and Dino Mighty, a dinosaur that will jump, slam, and sweep its tail; followed by Brawl Doll, a weird angel baby who slaps you and spits stars at you; Clown-a-Round, a clown that rides on a ball and can throw fists and his ball at you; and Dual Dragon, a pair of dragons that double team you with one breathing fire and the other spitting balls at you. Next up is Winter Windster, a giant head thing that has freezing breath and can drop rocks on you; Spideraticus, a giant spider that can shoot lasers and balls of web; and my personal favorite boss (who I don't understand how he isn't a meme yet) Red Brief J, a tall, musclebound pig dude in a speedo who struts around the stage like he's hot stuff, throwing giant punches, shooting fire, slamming down, and spinning really fast. He's great. I love it. Lastly we have the Mean Emcee, who spins really fast, charges at you, and hides in cups; Ironsider, who jumps around and sends fists after you; and Captain Skull, a pirate who shoots cannonballs and hookshots at you.

As for enemies, the game has this weird thing where each world has the exact same set of four enemy types, but they look completely different from each other in every world, and you'd never suspect they were the same thing. These are Magons, basic mook enemies; Cractyls, basic flying enemies; Triceratopses, big enemies with clubs they swing at you; and Ankirons, tank enemies with big gun turrets. They keep their names from the first world, which has a dinosaur theme. From there, we also have Bone Fists, disembodied skeleton arms that shoot finger guns; Sword Fish who swim; Elephants who charge; Caged Beasts who swipe at you; Cobras that bite; Angler Manglers, giant walls full of teeth; Icicle Mites who walk around; Land Manta Rays who swim; Monstrous Magnets that fly around and stick to walls and can also fire off electric blasts; Wind Winder, wind spirits that blow air; Rams who charge; Ninja Crows who hop around; Wheel Mice, who run in spinning wheels; Terrible Portraits that throw lightning and rocks; chained-up Vampires that wobble around and spin fast; Witches who appear in mirrors; Big Scorpers who bite; Flying Shovels that work like the magnets; and Laser Jigglefish that shoot lasers. There are also a couple of recurring "mini-bosses," one being the Stone-cold Statue that spins around, shoots lasers, and breathes fire, and the other is the Gem-bodied Creatures that can spawn smaller gems and shoot lasers.

As mentioned before, there are four worlds in this game, each with two smaller worlds within. The first world is Excitement Central, featuring Greenhorn Forest and Greenhorn Ruins, both forest/jungle levels with dinosaur elements. The next is Spooktastic World, with Horror Manor, a haunted house, and Wonky Circus, a carnival level. The third is Thrillsville, with Shivering Mountains, an ice level, and Beanstalk Way, a sky level. The last is Sparkle Land, with Mirror Mansion, a funhouse level, and Pecan Sands, a desert level. And of course, we also have Wario's Castle and Treasure Horde, and a small hubworld outside of it that connects to all the others.

All kinds of treasure is available as items, as well as bombs, springs, and garlic as a healing item.

Here's what we've got so far:

Mario
Luigi: remove bucket
Princess Peach
Yoshi
Toad: pick up and put down

Virtual Boy Wario Land

VIRTUAL BOY WARIO LAND

Virtual Boy Wario Land is a game developed for the ill-fated and infamous Virtual Boy game system, and is widely considered to be one of the best games for the system. The game takes more after the original Wario Land game's style with special power-up helmets, rather than the later Wario Land games's style of using enemy damage to cause power-up.

The game features Wario landing his plane in the middle of a rain forest and accidentally coming across a group of thieves hiding their stash in a secret hideout behind a waterfall. Wario being Wario, he infiltrates their hideout and works his way through it, stealing all their treasure in the process. In the actual gameplay, he of course runs and jumps and charges with his shoulder, and can perform a butt bash. Through the use of special helmets, he can also breathe fire and fly some distance.

There aren't really any other supporting characters to speak of, just a number of enemies and bosses. The main boss is called the Demon Head, a really funny-looking creature that can rise, jump, slam its claws down, and breathe fire. The other bosses include Guard, a guard who jumps and slams down, extends his neck, shoots projectiles, and breathes fire; a Dinosaur Fish with a mace on its head that it swings around; a Sand Fish that swims around in the sand and jump out of it; and a Tank and its Operator that shoots cannonballs at you.

Our enemies include: Mask Guys, the basic Goomba-esque enemies of the game that can carry spears or blowtorches; Horned Toadies, frogs that charge at you; Bomb Bats, bats that drop bombs; Upside-Downers, who drop from the ceiling; Metal Heads, who burst through doors; Big Mouths, who lunge out of holes in the wall to chomp at you; Chain-Saw Fish and Thorny Fish, your fish varieties; Chippies, bears who can throw a mace, hold a shield, or throw a spear while dangling from a tree; Flying Fowls, your standard bird; Dark Tortoises, who throw their helmets and breath fire at you; Waterfall Climbers, who climb waterfalls; Thorn Rockets, who pop out of the sand; Plant Chompers, who chomp; Tornies, tornadoes that will carry you over Plant Chompers; Mastah Mosquitoes, who try to stick you with their noses; Mole Burrowers who dig underground; Pollen Plants who release spores; Honey-bees, who drop fruit and spike balls; Blade-Face, a giant face who floats around; Face Ball, a giant face who releases mini-Face Balls; Coo Coos, chicken things that drop little bomb babies; Fire Octopuses that jump and slam, and Thorn Ball that shook spike balls at you.

As for stages, there are fourteen of them of varying different biomes, including basic caves, water levels, jungle, desert, haunted houses, factory, and castle levels. One key feature in all of these is the background and foreground that Wario can bounce between, making use of the 3D feature. So I imagine a stage based on the game, outside of having the red and black glare to it, would probably be similar to the Jungle Hijinxs stage. They also frequently have features like swinging spike balls to show off the 3D as well.

Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:
Mario
Luigi: remove bucket
Princess Peach
Yoshi
Toad: pick up and put down
Wario: drop bucket/items, fly in plane, teleport, inflate, shoot blast, thwomp, drop bombs, kick bombs, warp holes, dash, the trouncer, liner, moto, run, jump, charge, dragon fire, jet forward, butt bash

Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!

WARIO BLAST: FEATURING BOMBERMAN!

Wario Blast: featuring Bomberman! is a Game Boy game that is actually technically a reskin of the original Bomberman GB as released in Japan, but basically just had Wario added in for the western releases. As such, it's really more of a Bomberman game that just so happens to have Wario in it.

As we will be covering the actual Bomberman GB when the time comes, I'm not going to spend too much time here. Any moves given to Wario will not weigh too heavily, as they are really just Bomberman moves, and Bomberman himself will not be considered here, as he will be covered in his own series when we get to it, as with pretty much all bosses and other characters.

What we can cover, however, includes all of Wario's personal abilities. First he uses a dimensional portal to enter Bomberman's world, so that's a thing, I guess. He can drop bombs, kick bombs some distance, travel through warp holes, dash forward, knock your enemies into walls, place bombs in a line, and jump over blocks. I should put a pin in these to remember for Bomberman later, I imagine.

Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:
Mario
Luigi: remove bucket
Princess Peach
Yoshi
Toad: pick up and put down
Wario: drop bucket/items, fly in plane, teleport, inflate, shoot blast, thwomp, drop bombs, kick bombs, warp holes, dash, the trouncer, liner, moto.
Wanda: smack with hammer, break blocks, turn around, create blocks, fly, springs, drop bombs
Birdo
Bomberman: drop bombs

Wario's Woods

WARIO'S WOODS

Wario's Woods is another puzzle game featuring Wario that appeared on both the NES and the SNES. The game featured Toad playing a semi-tetris-style game inside giant hollow trees (hence the Woods part) to defeat Wario and his troop of baddies with help from Birdo and a fairy, of all people. Different sources disagree on whether or not this is Wanda or just a generic fairy. I choose to believe it's Wanda, but that's just me.

Toad will walk around the bottom of the puzzle screen, picking up and putting down the little creatures that act as blocks, similar to his picking up motion in Super Mario Bros. 2. Wanda/The Fairy will fly around the top of the screen dropping bombs of various colors that Toad will have to match to a line of creatures in order to clear them. Birdo, I think, just kind of sits up in a top panel and supervises you as far as I can tell. During boss rounds, she'll be replaced by Wario, who kinda just does the same.

A number of bosses appear in the game, standing in the middle of the stack of creatures, occasionally teleporting around and trying to attack you, while you try to line up the bombs and blocks of their color with them. Wario acts in this manner a couple of times, firing off a weird blast at you from time to time. He also flies a plane in the cutscenes. The two versions of the game have completely different bosses, though most act pretty much the exact same. I don't really know the reason for the change. The only real differences are their look and their name, each with their own weapon to attack you with. These include Fauster, Boom, Mad, Goro, Seizer, Drago, and a Wario Impostor for the NES, and Katsini, Galrog, Harley Q, SamSpook, Sven, Parrotor, Mssr Boo, Aqualea, Razor, Tad Rock, Thak, Lizardon, Sarissa, Mangylox, Dedar, Carlton, and Harry H for the SNES.

A stage for this one would probably take place inside the tree with the general set up of the game as shown.
