After Bowser, Wario is
Mario’s greatest rival. Despite popular belief, the two are NOT related.
Wario is a very mean, greedy, disgusting and rude caricature of
Mario. Unlike
Mario, he isn’t just plump, he’s very obese. His mustache radiates much more wild and powerful energy than
Mario’s.
Ability-wise, he’s incredibly strong and able to lift characters and objects that are much, much heavier than him. His shoulder bash is a signature move of his in the Wario Land series.
Wario is both a treasure hunter and a successful businessman, founding WarioWare Inc., a video game company that specializes in
short 5-second games called microgames. He often cheats his employees out of their earnings but never truly gets away with it.
