Maybe it should be included that the official Nintendo Software Development Support website (a site where third-party developers may apply for licenses, developer kits, and download documents and libraries) is also based on Wario and called "Wario World" (www.warioworld.com). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.127.205.129 ( talk) 16:59, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I've looked at this article and I can't figure out why a whole chunk of it got deleted-- not sure how to link properly, but if you go back to the Revision as of 17:06, 11 October 2005, there are whole sections that have been cut out and not replaced or edited. This was many edits ago, otherwise I would just revert. Not sure what the protocol is here, but if one of the people who have been working on this article get a chance, they should take a look at this. I think the deletion has severely negatively affected this articles "featurability."
Can someone add the Japanese characters for Wario on this page? (I know zero about Japanese, sadly.) Likewise, could someone do an International Pronunciation Guide treatment of how to say Wario? - A Man In Black ( Talk | Contribs) 23:06, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Is Captain Syrup really all that important to have his own article? He's not as big as Bowser ever was. --Trowa440
Since you're calling Captain Syrup a he, I take it you actually don't know a whole lot about her. Xubelox 05:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
This section needs cleanup. Do we include crossover allies/enemies? Do we include minor Wario Land characters? Do we include Wario Ware characters? Do we mention Mario in both enemies and allies? Does the dude who kidnaps Wario in SM64DS really worth mentioning? - A Man In Black ( Talk | Contribs) 02:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
Can somebody explain what the reasoning behind the following statement in the article is: 'Wario is believed to be German by some. The reasoning behind this is because Wario fits the doppelgänger style; imitates someone and replaces them.' How exactly does imitating somebody lead to the assumption that the imitator is in fact German? - ulayiti (talk) 00:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Wario does have an accent, and it ain't German, but without much dialougue from the characters we can never be too sure, but I think he's Italian.--Trowa440
Wario says "Mama mia" in an number of games. Note also that Martinet adds extra "ah" sounds after words, just like with Mario (e.g. "Ah'm-a gonna ween"). Also: German!?! What!?! Makron1n 00:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
He speaks a little German in N64 Mario Tennis. User:Pal101
In Mario strikers charged Wario had a german sounding tune after scoring a goal.

Image:Wario.jpg is higher quality than Image:Wario2.jpg, so I switched it back to that. Andre ( talk) 21:23, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
Although the theory already is on lose grounds, there is some other evidence that might dispute it. I recently discovered in Mario Golf Mobile that Spike made a surprise reappearance ( http://www.camelot.co.jp/golfmb/golfmb0105_d.html ). Now this alone doesn't prove much, but when you consider that this game is closely linked to Mario Golf GB which is closely linked to Mario Golf 64, one can infer that Spike and Wario are in fact coexisting at the same time. -Masamune
I put the possibiility of Wario being in the new game in the article but Somone removed it because "speculation is not our business". Well what's with this whole doppelganger thing then? What if I put something about Wario being voted as one of the characters people want to see in SSB 4 in a Summer issue of Nintendo Power. -King Wario
Ok, Link to the Past said "speculation is not our businees" in the edit page. I fully understand where he is coming from. But I can put the Nintendo Power reference and it should be good. hopefully -King Wario
WARIO HAS ALREADY BEEN PICKED FOR SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL, WHICH WOULD BE SSSB 3 NOT 4--Trowa440
I believe Wario has high top speed and low acceleration. By contrast, small characters like Toad have low top speed but high acceleration. Acceleration is how quickly the character can reach his top speed, and top speed is how fast it is possible to go. Andre ( talk) 20:17, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
You're wrong, he has bad acceleration and speed. Lightweights have good acceleration and speed. If you don't believe me, do a time trial with Toad then Wario. see which is faster. Also middleweights and heavyweights are excatly the same in their poor speed and acceleration.

The description of Wario land II is not accurate, The writer has blended wario land, and wario land 2 together. It is in the game titled Super Mario land 3:Wario Land that Wario follows Captain syrup to Kitchen Isle to retrieve the statue of princess peach. This needs to be corrected.
It's taken a while, but you're finally featured article (how long have you been queued?) :) -- Michiel Sikma 07:35, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I find it extremely discouraging that this sort of banal effluvia gets so much attention. Ben-w 17:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
There's absolutely no information about Wario Land or his other starring roles, yet for some reason there is about cameos and guest appearances.
It seems to me that throughout today people have slowly been removing information over time, leaving us with this. Just compare this version with the current one.
Umm, the article isn't a mess, the vandalism and section blanking is. Just revert to a more comprehensive version of the article. -- Madchester 20:20, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I believe someone else has done it now. :)
Vampire Wario is mentioned, but there is nothing else.
Speaking of abilites, Wario's biggest strength is..well, his strength. I'm wondering why it wasn't mentioned in the "powers" section of the article, because its (argubly) his most defining trait (ability-wise). If no one objects, I'll add it to the article.- MegamanZero 20:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
"In the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode 'Plummer's [sic] Academy'"
I find the usage of the word "sic" to be unencyclopedic. It either means you are indicating that the spelling error is not yours, or you are mocking them for spelling it wrong. Neither belongs in an encyclopedia. Rm999 08:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't Wario's appearance in Mario Party warrent a mention somewhere, possibly under the Mario Sports section. If it's already in the article somewhere I apologise, couldn't see it though.

Ya, hi. I've been doing some preliminary clean up on this (boy was it scary ;) and I've came across dozens of statements that aren't cited. Wario isn't my forte, I'm here cleaning up, so could some loyal Wario fans go a sourcing? Thanks much, H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 18:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Without a source, yes. H ig hway Rainbow Sneakers 20:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Notice something? Notice how each of the things I listed is a fact that someone unfamiliar to Wario would not know? So you are telling me that I need to source every single one of these things? What would you do if I went to the Sunset Blvd. movie article and put it on the FARC because of all of the facts that someone unfamiliar to the movie would not know? - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I demoted this to B-class as I think that this artilce needs to pass the GA-class before being ranked that high. I don't know if this was ever nominated for GA of if it made the leap to FA immediately; I'm assuming the latter, thus the demotion. Hbdragon88 09:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
A good article. I'd reccomend looking at the peer reviews as well as the FAR before renominating for FA. Some P. E rson 13:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Surely Wario Land 4 should be included, if briefly, as it gives a second example of how Wario's adventures often benefit others, thus further verifying that statement? Since it last got deleted, I've re-worded it to make it shorter. Makron1n 12:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
We all know Martinet voices Wario in most territories, but doesn't he have a different voice artist in Japan? Or is it just a different voice? Does anyone know the name of the guy who does his voice in Japan? Makron1n 21:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Why is his stuff always purple? (I.E Mario Kart)

When you pronounce Wario, are you meant to say War-io, with the "war" rhyming with door, or Waa-rio, with "waa" rhyming with far? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phantom hax0r ( talk • contribs) 02:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

Why did we change the Wario image? I liked the older one; it showed more of the actual character itself. Wikipedian64 23:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
At the end of Super Mario Land 2, when Wario is defeated he is shown to shrink down into the same size and shape as the previous games antagonist, Tatanga. Theplanetsaturn 20:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
So basically, the fact that nothing says that Wario is an alien except for that one thing, out of every single mention of the Wario character. Also, how is it this game's context? You haven't proven that the developers intended to say that he was an alien, so it is your context and no one else's.
And on the subject of Tatanga, the fact that I don't remove it is me refusing your demands, under the logic that I am not required to do so. The fact that I do not go to other articles that I have little to no involvement in does not demonstrate that my logic is "inconsistent". My logic is also that people shouldn't insert "penis" into articles inappropriately, so does it mean I'm being contradictory by not looking for instances? You are well within your right and ability to remove OR, and I am within my right to pass on even editing the article. I never once stated that I "approve" of it in Tatanga's article, so I do not see where you get that from. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

His trademark is the Purple W. Angry Sun 13:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I didn't mean "trademark" in a literal sense but in the sense that its a part of mhis character.
That it is. Perhaps add that it's part of his character? Angry Sun 17:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC) There is already something to that effect, but what about an audiofile.
"In the game, he took control of Mario's personal island and lived in his castle while Mario was rescuing Princess Daisy from an alien entity named Tatanga (as depicted in Super Mario Land for the Game Boy[citation needed]). "
It states in the manual for the story of Super Mario Land 2 that Wario took over Mario Land while Mario was away saving Princess Daisy from Tatanga. Kuribo 21:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Some people say that he is a Mario character while others say that he appears in spin-off games just like Donkey Kong? Does anyone know which one he is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.110.71.166 ( talk) 17:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't think he's part of the Mario Universe. He was in like... one Mario game, and then in Mario sports games, and Mario Party Games. He's been in several of his own games. (i.e., Warioland, Warioware, Warioworld). Aragorn245 ( talk) 01:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but he has been in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games as a Mario character. I'm also kind of curious if Wario Land and Wario Ware are two different franchises because the latter one was the only Wario series represented in Brawl. Wouldn't we need to put Wario series, Mario series, and Wario Ware series, too?
You write that Wario was created by Gunpei Yokoi, but the credits of all WarioWare games credit Hiroji Kiyotake for "Wario Design", and he was also one of the two directors of Super Mario Land 2, featuring Wario's first appearance. He is mentioned in the credits of (nearly) every other Wario game, often with a concise involvement. Another example: The credits of Mario Party only mention Shigeru Miyamoto and Hiroji Kiyotake for the "Original Character Design", no Gunpei Yokoi. So what now? -- Grandy02 19:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I must say the article is pretty well-referenced, an improvement since its demotion. The only thing missing is a 'Conception and creation' section to give us some out-of-universe information on the character. If we can find some info on Wario's original creation or character design, we might be able to nominate this for Good Article. Cat's Tuxedo 19:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I realize that the allies/enemies section was deleted, but I feel it should be readded. I've decided to expand on the one paragraph in the personality section, which doesn't even make sense as a location. If it turns out to be bad. it can be reverted, but I feel my point is valid enough. GEM036 ( talk) 03:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Lately, people have been putting his Biker outfit version on the top of the page. To show why his regular outfit (called his "Overalls" Outfit, not his classic outfit), I put up two list of games, one featuring his regular outfit, and on of his biker outfit.
Biker Outfit:
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
and partially Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Regular Outfit:
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Wario: Master of Disguise (Sort of)
Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
Yoshi's Island DS (With a diaper added)
And partially in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, if you really want to get picky.
And that is why his regular outfit should appear at the top. GEM036 ( talk) 23:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow, amazing! Fun fact, though, almost every time Wario's classic outfit is used, the decision to do so is not the result of the people that actually make the Wario Land/WarioWare games?
Let's list the games developed by R&D1...
So, basically, only five games from the developers of Wario games use the classic outfit, while five games in the last five years have used his biker outfit. The fact that spinoffs that exist outside of the Wario universe use it matters for, roughly, nothing. All that you established is that people unaffiliated with Wario use his classic outfit instead of current outfit.
Look at other articles. Yeah, I don't see people using the classic depiction over the current one. Link? Uses his Phantom Hourglass appearance, for instance. The fact of the matter is that the classic outfit being called current is an unbelievably laughable falsity. To say that the classic outfit is the regular outfit basically says "hey, creators of Wario, the fact that you gave him a new outfit and have not used the classic outfit ever after you first introduced the new outfit doesn't matter, Hudson Soft prefers the classic one, and they're the definitive source on other developers' characters!" The creators of Wario dictate what his "regular" outfit is. So what is his regular outfit? The outfit that OTHER developers haven't retired, the outfit used OUTSIDE of the Wario series, or the outfit that's used in every R&D1 developed game since 2003? I would think that games in the Wario series are better sources than games NOT in the Wario series. You constantly give a biased POV - you constantly assert that because you prefer the classic outfit, it should be referred to the regular outfit. But give me one good reason that the officially current outfit of Wario is not to be the current outfit of Wario, and we should say "spin-offs of games in a different series matter than main games in the Wario series!". - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I love how you continue to make a terrible argument. So one spin-off series is more important than ALL OTHER THINGS IN EXISTENCE! Also, Wario: Master Of Disguise came out after the most recent WarioWare game, and it featured him in a mostly normal outfit except for the mask, so the "overalls" Outfit has seen the most current use, not the Biker outfit. In fact, according to what you're saying, we should put his MASTER OF DISGUISE IMAGE AT THE TOP!!! Stop changing it. GEM036 ( talk) 17:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I can't find any source for the statement that Wario's name comes from "warui" and "Mario". It makes sense to me, but the only sources I can find to support this when I Google it are on Wikipedia and accompanying Wikis. Most of the websites the search hits simply say that it is "Mario" with the M turned upside-down. Can anyone find a source for the name reasoning mentioned in the article? - Kanogul ( talk) 20:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Its obviously not his catchphrase anymore in his warioware games, but I remember him stating that, "I'm a Wario, I'm a gonna win! Haw haw" What was this from? Might it be useful to the article? felinoel ( talk) 07:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

In the first sentence, the article tells that Wario is based on " Hiroji Kiyotake's next door neighbour". What the heck? Any source? The first source about Wario's creation doesn't say anything like that (it doesn't even mention Wario's original designer Hiroji Kyotake). If there is no source, this "fact" should be removed. And Kiyotake should be mentioned as the designer instead, he deserves a mention, not just in the infobox. -- Grandy02 ( talk) 12:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
A Link to the Past recently dismissed the image of the two Warios on the chacter selection screen from Super Smash Bros. Brawl as trivial removed it (while his edit summary says "Rm trivial images" when he only removed just one). The image is always intended to depict how Wario appears in the game (and in both forms, at that), so I thought it would be alright to put it back. Alternatively, we could also use this image to represent the Warios during the actual gameplay and not the selection screen. — NES Boy ( talk) 13:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I was thinking in adding an interesting picture(or maybe even substitute the main image) to the article. I know this will be extremely hard, for it is one of the hardest images to find in the internet, but I think it´s worth it. The picture would be the Wario Overalls picture in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with the blue background. Not only I think the article would look better, but I would also be extremely grateful. Thank you. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 19:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Of course it is. It´s not only the best picture, but also shows his 3-D form with the Wario salute. I´m also interested on the picture for my own purposes, but mainly because I think it would enrich the article. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 16:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes it is. It is the most detailed form of Wario, making a lot different from the other pictures in this article. The piictures in this article only shows Wario in his 2-D form in the game boy Advanced models, and the anime style Wario from Wario Land Shake It. If anyone finds this picture, it already proves how Wikipedia and its users have the greatest sources in the Internet, and can almost find anything -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 12:40, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, thing is, 3-D does add something to the article because it shows not only his newest form, but also the most detailed and represent in a higher standard his personality. And second, it would never be the same image because it is Nintendo´s rarest image in the Internet. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 02:14, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but remember this is the character´s article, not Wario´s series. I t is important to at least have a 3-D picture. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 00:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
That´s not true. Other people may look at Wario as a character that makes a big difference in the Mario series. He mostly appears in 3-D in the Mario series. So, to satisfy both groups (people who look at Wario from his series or the Mario series), we put the 3-D picture. And remember that the guidelines in Wikipedia does not include having a 3-D picture because there are certain things that makes articles depend on either 2-D or 3-D pictures. This one has a broader view which includes his appearance in the Mario series. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 16:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Of corse not. I´ve never said that. What I´m saying is he is more well known in the Mario series than the Wario series, since the Mario series is the most famous series of Nintendo. Most people who would look for Wario would have the Wario from the Mario series in mind. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 19:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes and no. Wario series is important to Wario because he is the protagonist of the series, but his most famous appearance is in the Mario series. Casual gamers or extremely huge Mario fans would look for Wario of the Mario series. I think this article is too focused on the Wario series. I think just to vary a little bit to just put the 3-D picture. Come on, tell me. Are you insisting not to put the picture because you don´t like the picture or something? It´s just one more picture that would illustrate Wario. I know he looks the same in 2-D but it would be interesting put a 3-D picture. At least one picture representing his appearance in the Mario series (3-D) would be great. If you don´t like it, then at least leave the picture for one whole week and then we decide what to do with the picture. Who knows, maybe you will get used to the picture and see that it fits in the article. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 15:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I know that this is perhaps the dumbest thing to point out, but I had to get it off of my chest. Has anyone else noticed that Wario's voice has gotten decidedly deeper (and perhaps more sinister) as the Wario games (and Mario universe as whole) have progressed?

Can somebody explain what the reasoning behind the following statement in the article is: 'Wario is believed to be German by some. The reasoning behind this is because Wario fits the doppelgänger style; imitates someone and replaces them.' How exactly does imitating somebody lead to the assumption that the imitator is in fact German? - ulayiti (talk) 00:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Wario does have an accent, and it ain't German, but without much dialougue from the characters we can never be too sure, but I think he's Italian.--Trowa440
Wario says "Mama mia" in an number of games. Note also that Martinet adds extra "ah" sounds after words, just like with Mario (e.g. "Ah'm-a gonna ween"). Also: German!?! What!?! Makron1n 00:19, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Although the theory already is on lose grounds, there is some other evidence that might dispute it. I recently discovered in Mario Golf Mobile that Spike made a surprise reappearance ( http://www.camelot.co.jp/golfmb/golfmb0105_d.html ). Now this alone doesn't prove much, but when you consider that this game is closely linked to Mario Golf GB which is closely linked to Mario Golf 64, one can infer that Spike and Wario are in fact coexisting at the same time. -Masamune
I put the possibiility of Wario being in the new game in the article but Somone removed it because "speculation is not our business". Well what's with this whole doppelganger thing then? What if I put something about Wario being voted as one of the characters people want to see in SSB 4 in a Summer issue of Nintendo Power. -King Wario

WARIO HAS ALREADY BEEN PICKED FOR SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL, WHICH WOULD BE SSSB 3 NOT 4--Trowa440
I believe Wario has high top speed and low acceleration. By contrast, small characters like Toad have low top speed but high acceleration. Acceleration is how quickly the character can reach his top speed, and top speed is how fast it is possible to go. Andre ( talk) 20:17, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
You're wrong, he has bad acceleration and speed. Lightweights have good acceleration and speed. If you don't believe me, do a time trial with Toad then Wario. see which is faster. Also middleweights and heavyweights are excatly the same in their poor speed and acceleration.

The description of Wario land II is not accurate, The writer has blended wario land, and wario land 2 together. It is in the game titled Super Mario land 3:Wario Land that Wario follows Captain syrup to Kitchen Isle to retrieve the statue of princess peach. This needs to be corrected.

There's absolutely no information about Wario Land or his other starring roles, yet for some reason there is about cameos and guest appearances.
It seems to me that throughout today people have slowly been removing information over time, leaving us with this. Just compare this version with the current one.

Vampire Wario is mentioned, but there is nothing else.
Speaking of abilites, Wario's biggest strength is..well, his strength. I'm wondering why it wasn't mentioned in the "powers" section of the article, because its (argubly) his most defining trait (ability-wise).

"In the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode 'Plummer's [sic] Academy'"
I find the usage of the word "sic" to be unencyclopedic. It either means you are indicating that the spelling error is not yours, or you are mocking them for spelling it wrong. Neither belongs in an encyclopedia. Rm999 08:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't Wario's appearance in Mario Party warrent a mention somewhere, possibly under the Mario Sports section. If it's already in the article somewhere I apologise, couldn't see it though.

Surely Wario Land 4 should be included, if briefly, as it gives a second example of how Wario's adventures often benefit others, thus further verifying that statement? Since it last got deleted, I've re-worded it to make it shorter. Makron1n 12:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

At the end of Super Mario Land 2, when Wario is defeated he is shown to shrink down into the same size and shape as the previous games antagonist, Tatanga. Theplanetsaturn 20:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
So basically, the fact that nothing says that Wario is an alien except for that one thing, out of every single mention of the Wario character. Also, how is it this game's context? You haven't proven that the developers intended to say that he was an alien, so it is your context and no one else's.
And on the subject of Tatanga, the fact that I don't remove it is me refusing your demands, under the logic that I am not required to do so. The fact that I do not go to other articles that I have little to no involvement in does not demonstrate that my logic is "inconsistent". My logic is also that people shouldn't insert "penis" into articles inappropriately, so does it mean I'm being contradictory by not looking for instances? You are well within your right and ability to remove OR, and I am within my right to pass on even editing the article. I never once stated that I "approve" of it in Tatanga's article, so I do not see where you get that from. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

"In the game, he took control of Mario's personal island and lived in his castle while Mario was rescuing Princess Daisy from an alien entity named Tatanga (as depicted in Super Mario Land for the Game Boy[citation needed]). "
It states in the manual for the story of Super Mario Land 2 that Wario took over Mario Land while Mario was away saving Princess Daisy from Tatanga. Kuribo 21:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think he's part of the Mario Universe. He was in like... one Mario game, and then in Mario sports games, and Mario Party Games. He's been in several of his own games. (i.e., Warioland, Warioware, Warioworld). Aragorn245 ( talk) 01:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but he has been in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games as a Mario character. I'm also kind of curious if Wario Land and Wario Ware are two different franchises because the latter one was the only Wario series represented in Brawl. Wouldn't we need to put Wario series, Mario series, and Wario Ware series, too?
You write that Wario was created by Gunpei Yokoi, but the credits of all WarioWare games credit Hiroji Kiyotake for "Wario Design", and he was also one of the two directors of Super Mario Land 2, featuring Wario's first appearance. He is mentioned in the credits of (nearly) every other Wario game, often with a concise involvement. Another example: The credits of Mario Party only mention Shigeru Miyamoto and Hiroji Kiyotake for the "Original Character Design", no Gunpei Yokoi. So what now? -- Grandy02 19:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I must say the article is pretty well-referenced, an improvement since its demotion. The only thing missing is a 'Conception and creation' section to give us some out-of-universe information on the character. If we can find some info on Wario's original creation or character design, we might be able to nominate this for Good Article. Cat's Tuxedo 19:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Lately, people have been putting his Biker outfit version on the top of the page. To show why his regular outfit (called his "Overalls" Outfit, not his classic outfit), I put up two list of games, one featuring his regular outfit, and on of his biker outfit.
Biker Outfit:
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
and partially Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Regular Outfit:
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Wario: Master of Disguise (Sort of)
Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
Yoshi's Island DS (With a diaper added)
And partially in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, if you really want to get picky.
And that is why his regular outfit should appear at the top. GEM036 ( talk) 23:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow, amazing! Fun fact, though, almost every time Wario's classic outfit is used, the decision to do so is not the result of the people that actually make the Wario Land/WarioWare games?
Let's list the games developed by R&D1...
So, basically, only five games from the developers of Wario games use the classic outfit, while five games in the last five years have used his biker outfit. The fact that spinoffs that exist outside of the Wario universe use it matters for, roughly, nothing. All that you established is that people unaffiliated with Wario use his classic outfit instead of current outfit.
Look at other articles. Yeah, I don't see people using the classic depiction over the current one. Link? Uses his Phantom Hourglass appearance, for instance. The fact of the matter is that the classic outfit being called current is an unbelievably laughable falsity. To say that the classic outfit is the regular outfit basically says "hey, creators of Wario, the fact that you gave him a new outfit and have not used the classic outfit ever after you first introduced the new outfit doesn't matter, Hudson Soft prefers the classic one, and they're the definitive source on other developers' characters!" The creators of Wario dictate what his "regular" outfit is. So what is his regular outfit? The outfit that OTHER developers haven't retired, the outfit used OUTSIDE of the Wario series, or the outfit that's used in every R&D1 developed game since 2003? I would think that games in the Wario series are better sources than games NOT in the Wario series. You constantly give a biased POV - you constantly assert that because you prefer the classic outfit, it should be referred to the regular outfit. But give me one good reason that the officially current outfit of Wario is not to be the current outfit of Wario, and we should say "spin-offs of games in a different series matter than main games in the Wario series!". - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I love how you continue to make a terrible argument. So one spin-off series is more important than ALL OTHER THINGS IN EXISTENCE! Also, Wario: Master Of Disguise came out after the most recent WarioWare game, and it featured him in a mostly normal outfit except for the mask, so the "overalls" Outfit has seen the most current use, not the Biker outfit. In fact, according to what you're saying, we should put his MASTER OF DISGUISE IMAGE AT THE TOP!!! Stop changing it. GEM036 ( talk) 17:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I can't find any source for the statement that Wario's name comes from "warui" and "Mario".

In the first sentence, the article tells that Wario is based on " Hiroji Kiyotake's next door neighbour". What the heck? Any source? The first source about Wario's creation doesn't say anything like that (it doesn't even mention Wario's original designer Hiroji Kyotake). If there is no source, this "fact" should be removed. And Kiyotake should be mentioned as the designer instead, he deserves a mention, not just in the infobox. -- Grandy02 ( talk) 12:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
A Link to the Past recently dismissed the image of the two Warios on the chacter selection screen from Super Smash Bros. Brawl as trivial removed it (while his edit summary says "Rm trivial images" when he only removed just one). The image is always intended to depict how Wario appears in the game (and in both forms, at that), so I thought it would be alright to put it back. Alternatively, we could also use this image to represent the Warios during the actual gameplay and not the selection screen. — NES Boy ( talk) 13:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I was thinking in adding an interesting picture(or maybe even substitute the main image) to the article. I know this will be extremely hard, for it is one of the hardest images to find in the internet, but I think it´s worth it. The picture would be the Wario Overalls picture in Super Smash Bros.

Of course it is. It´s not only the best picture, but also shows his 3-D form with the Wario salute. I´m also interested on the picture for my own purposes, but mainly because I think it would enrich the article. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 16:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes it is. It is the most detailed form of Wario, making a lot different from the other pictures in this article. The piictures in this article only shows Wario in his 2-D form in the game boy Advanced models, and the anime style Wario from Wario Land Shake It. If anyone finds this picture, it already proves how Wikipedia and its users have the greatest sources in the Internet, and can almost find anything -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 12:40, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, thing is, 3-D does add something to the article because it shows not only his newest form, but also the most detailed and represent in a higher standard his personality. And second, it would never be the same image because it is Nintendo´s rarest image in the Internet. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 02:14, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

That´s not true. Other people may look at Wario as a character that makes a big difference in the Mario series. He mostly appears in 3-D in the Mario series. So, to satisfy both groups (people who look at Wario from his series or the Mario series), we put the 3-D picture. And remember that the guidelines in Wikipedia does not include having a 3-D picture because there are certain things that makes articles depend on either 2-D or 3-D pictures. This one has a broader view which includes his appearance in the Mario series. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 16:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Of corse not. I´ve never said that. What I´m saying is he is more well known in the Mario series than the Wario series, since the Mario series is the most famous series of Nintendo. Most people who would look for Wario would have the Wario from the Mario series in mind. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 19:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Yes and no. Wario series is important to Wario because he is the protagonist of the series, but his most famous appearance is in the Mario series. Casual gamers or extremely huge Mario fans would look for Wario of the Mario series. I think this article is too focused on the Wario series. I think just to vary a little bit to just put the 3-D picture. Come on, tell me. Are you insisting not to put the picture because you don´t like the picture or something? It´s just one more picture that would illustrate Wario. I know he looks the same in 2-D but it would be interesting put a 3-D picture. At least one picture representing his appearance in the Mario series (3-D) would be great. If you don´t like it, then at least leave the picture for one whole week and then we decide what to do with the picture. Who knows, maybe you will get used to the picture and see that it fits in the article. -- Mr.Mario 192 ( talk) 15:44, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I know that this is perhaps the dumbest thing to point out, but I had to get it off of my chest. Has anyone else noticed that Wario's voice has gotten decidedly deeper (and perhaps more sinister) as the Wario games (and Mario universe as whole) have progressed?
