Wario

Wario is one of Mario's rivals. His name is a mixture of Mario and a word warui meaning bad or evil hence a bad Mario. He amuses himself with gross humour such as farting and picking his nose.Wario has made several appearances in mario games as well as having two of his own series Wario land and WarioWare. Wario has appeared as a playable character in all of the cross overs between the Mario and Sonic series'.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Wario appears in Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games as a Power Character.

Profile Description: ''The burly opposite of Mario, Wario is a Power-based athlete, able to hurl objects incredible distances, and his awesome stamina gives him a boost in any long-distance event. He is driven by greed and will undoubtedly love to get his hands on a Gold Medal!''

His six missions in Mission Mode are


 * 100m - Cross the finish line while lunging foward and come in 2nd place!
 * 100m Freestyle - Get a 3 note (♪♪♪) rating 5 times when restoring stamina!
 * Shooting - Hit 2 targets at the same time twice!
 * Dream Long Jump - Pass through 10 rings!
 * Dream Race - Collect all item boxes!
 * Final - (Pursuit) Beat Knuckles when he's in top condition!

Since Knuckles is Wario's final mission opponent, and they are both power characters, they are believed to be competitive rivals.

Trivia

 * Although Wario and Knuckles are great rivals they haven't met anywhere other than Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games like Mario and Sonic did in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 * Wario's final smash Wario-man is much like Sonic's final smash Super Sonic since it involves both of them transforming into a stronger version of themselves.
