Wario is one of Mario's rivals. His name is a portmanteau of Mario's name and the Japanese word warui, meaning bad or evil. He amuses himself with gross humor 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 & Sonic series. Throughout these cross-overs, Wario seems to form a new rivalry with Knuckles the Echidna and a new ally of Dr. Eggman.

	Wario	Power			Wario Waft Wario Special (Moguls and Deluxe halfpipe) Wariola Jump (Rocket ski jumping) Wariola Boost (Intense short track, Extreme snowboarding) Dirty Shot (Fever hockey)

Wario considers himself Mario's adversary, and has been causing Mario a headache for quite some time. Selfish and greedy, Wario always ends up somehow doing good deeds to get what he wants. Wario is a veteran to the Olympic Games and comes to Vancouver and Whistler ready to compete for gold. Be sure not to get in the way of his signature Wario Waft technique on the Wii, and Wario Waft jump or Wario Waft boost on the Nintendo DS.

Wario, Mario and Sonic preparing for a snowboarding event

Wario returns in the sequel to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. He is once again a power character. In most racing events Wario can use his signature Wario Waft to give himself a speed boost. Wario has a very high speed level in the Wii version of this game, however, in the Nintendo DS version, his speed is average and his stamina is notably high. Like all playable characters, once Wario has won 5 gold medals, his costume becomes available in the boutique for purchase of 300 coins. Once purchased, his costume can be worn by any Mii.

Wario has more than one special move in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, which depends on the event:

• Wario Special (Moguls and Deluxe halfpipe)
• Wariola Jump (Rocket ski jumping)
• Wariola Boost (Intense short track, Extreme snowboarding)
• Dirty Shot (Fever hockey)

Wario also has mini-game called "Blow away Chain chomp", where Wario must blow Chain chomp from the stage by using Wario Waft. Player loses, if Wario falls off the stage.

Wario as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Wario is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, sporting 2 different costumes and a variety of zaniness. He takes on the role of a villain at first in the Subspace Emissary, but ends up joining the rest of the fighters in the end.

Wario is slow, but very strong and powerful. Like Sonic, Wario was a fan-picked favorite to be added to the Smash Bros. cast. The official Brawl website states "Many fans clamored for Wario to join the fray, and so now he finally makes his appearance... in his WarioWare costume."

In addition to appearing as a playable character, Wario also appears as a trophy. This trophy is obtainable by completing Classic Mode with Wario and his Wario-Man trophy is obtainable by clearing All-Star with Wario.
